About Jeff

Certified Personal Training and Yoga Instruction

Yoga first came into Jeff Boyd's life as a way to rehabilitate from injuries. Although he was born with a clubbed foot, Jeff was highly active in rugby in his youth, until a ruptured Achilles tendon on the field forced him to slow down and listen to his body. During his recovery process, Jeff found yoga, and soon thereafter began his path towards becoming a teacher. Jeff's combination of yoga and personal training certifications allows him to bring a unique and holistic perspective to his fitness classes.
​
​Believing that balance is a verb, not an adjective, Jeff is a teacher who encourages students to find the things needed to support themselves in any given moment of life and of practice, and to stay present in those moments of investigation. ​Informed by his injuries and his early limitations, Jeff firmly advocates that fitness can and should be accessible to all; he emphasizes the use of approachable language, safe alignment, and an expansive knowledge of movement to meet the needs of his students, regardless of their level.
