John Yax has been studying movement arts and consciousness practices for most of his life. At an early age, he and his six siblings were exposed to the practice of meditation and the power of loving-kindness. Their experiences growing up taught them the importance of taking care of one another, the value of community, and how a healthy mind and body are necessary to live a full life. Without knowing it, they were being introduced to the core principles of yoga.
After many years of deep practice in meditation, martial arts, and yoga asana, John developed Yax Yoga Concepts together with his brother Christopher Yax.
Yax Yoga Concepts incorporates the most effective practices from various styles of yoga and spiritual traditions, blending cutting edge science with grounded wisdom teachings. The result is a holistic approach to the understanding of personal transformation that helps students live their best life.
John has accumulated over 10,000 hours of teaching. He and his brothers Jimmy and Christopher opened their first yoga studio in June of 2005. They recently celebrated 10 years of helping others through the practice of yoga.
