Juan
Juan (born in Peru and raised in NYC) is an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, Mentor and Facilitator for Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Trainings and a Mentor for JTAP Mentoring program.
Juan was born in Peru and raised in New York City, where he came to Yoga through a friend and within the frenetic pace here, found this to be the turning point in his life. For Juan his practice is the embodiment of the peeling away of the layers of avidya (illusion, ignorance) and always to find compassion for all beings. His classes are filled with “crisp” humor and endearing humility, combined with skillful hands-on assists and a thoughtful choice of music.
Juan offers a challenging practice that strives to inspire and empower: giving students tools to consciousness development and the ability to balance the challenges of everyday life. He is currently living in the Sacred Valley, Peru. Juan is eternally grateful to his Teachers who have influenced him.
