Owner/Instructor
Jeff graduated from SFX University and currently teaches Phys. Ed, Exercise Science, and Yoga at Cobequid Educational Centre. He has been involved in sports his entire life, and coaches football, fastball, and continues to be a fitness leader in his community. As a graduate of the Breathing Space Yoga Teacher Training Program, he believes that yoga should be practiced by all athletes: providing enhanced strength, endurance, core power, balance, flexibility and most importantly, mental toughness. Having seen the value that yoga has to offer everybody, regardless of age, gender and level of ability, the practice has helped Jeff to "live in the moment" and see that life is not a competition. He now truly understands that "Life is a journey, not a destination."

Both natives of Truro, Jeff and his wife Theresa enjoy parenting their five lively children, Jillian, Emily, Delia, Natalie, and Jack.
