Jade Banks
Jade was first introduced to yoga at the age of 14 through a short program run at her high school. The ancient practices resonated deeply with her and left a lasting impression that would ignite her love for yoga later in life. When she returned to the Sunshine Coast in 2012, Jade engaged in a regularyoga practice that lead to her completing 400 hours of yoga teacher training within three years. She believes in the power of yoga as a physical practice and also a deeply healing practice.
Jade delivers a spirited yet grounded class, drawing on her experience of guiding meditation, holding ceremony and facilitating spiritual development training. She is also a skilled Liquid Crystals practitioner and loves to bring this crystalline energy and wisdom to her classes. Jade has a gift for weaving the spiritual with the practical, assisting her students to feel balanced on all levels. She creates a supportive and safe space for students to tune into their body, connect with their breath and receive the yoga medicine they need.
