“On behalf of the Seton Hall University Baseball program we send our sincere appreciation for your work with our team.  You have done a tremendous job of challenging our players through yoga.  Encouraging them to increase their flexibility and allowing them to maximize their athletic potential.  The sessions are great for: balance, stretching and concentration.  Each session brings a mind and body awareness that is essential to healthier athletes.”

“Jason did a terrific job of assessing our group’s needs, devising the proper program for our team, and executing it with tremendous detail.  He related to our guys very well while pushing them to get the most out of his productive program.  We are in a very competitive business, and Jason understands that completely.  However, he recognized also that these athletes were doing this for the very first time in their lives.  So, he gradually built up their bodies, and also helped them recover well after multiple weeks of grueling Division I basketball. We look forward to working with him in the future.”

John Gallagher – Head Men’s Basketball Coach at University of Hartford

“The basketball season is a long, often grueling, five to six month journey. Our team undoubtedly benefited from working with Jason throughout the year. His sessions helped our players stay injury free and mentally sharp. Working with Jason also provided a trusted voice for our players. Jason is not just a yoga instructor, but a coach who teaches skills necessary for athletes to reach their physical and mental potential. I am excited to continue working with him.”

“Jason did a wonderful job with the pitchers. He works the body of course but the mind as well. He tailored the sessions to the needs of our guys and they enjoyed seeing their improvement. Personally if I had to pick one form of exercise for my guys it would be yoga and the one teacher would be Jason.”

Chawwadee Rompothong – Head Women’s Golf Coach at Yale University,  IVY League Champions: 2006 & 2011, IVY League Coach of the Year: 2015

“As a coach, I am constantly looking for ways to push my athletes to the next level. Two common limitations among the high school rowers that I work with are mobility and body awareness. Our weekly yoga classes helped my team develop increased hamstring flexibility and better balance, which translated to longer, smoother strokes on the water. I encourage my athletes to maintain their flexibility during the season and I hope that we will continue to incorporate yoga into our winter training.  Several athletes mentioned that Jason was more diligent than past instructors, which I was glad to hear. I want my athletes to take all aspects of their training seriously and I appreciate Jason’s support in developing that culture.”
