Our Yoga Instructors:

Joseph Boquiren is a yogi, cartoonist, bike racer, and speedskater. Trained as an architect, he moved into sequential art after the building industry took a nosedive in 2008. The shift seemed like a natural move for him since both professions use words and pictures to convey ideas. He received his yoga RYT certification in 2008 from Forrest Yoga and now teaches classes four times a week. He teaches yoga not just to deepen his practice but also to harvest the inadvertent fruits of comedy that fall out of the yoga tree. His comic Samadhi Pants can be viewed on Facebook.

Jimena Galvez has been a licensed massage therapist since 2003 and a yoga student since 1998. She is the owner of Prana Llama Mindful Bodywork and completed two 200-hr Yoga teacher trainings in 2001 (twice certified: Sivananda Ashram + Mount Madonna Center).  She is currently training to earn her 500-hr teaching certification with 8 Limbs Yoga Center. Yoga led Jimena to bodywork; her massage education enhanced her yoga teaching, as she gained an improved understanding of anatomy.  Daily Yoga practice is essential in her life; she finds it enhances her ability to offer a nurturing presence to her clients and students.

Jimena believes Yoga is a life-long adventure and delights in connecting with practitioners in the classroom. She inspires students to explore their bodies with curiosity, respect, and an open quality around their anticipated notions of constraint. She enjoys applying daily life to infuse the teachings of yoga as well as Ayurveda, yoga's sister science. Jimena pursues the cross-pollination of pranayama, meditation, mindfulness and compassion in her classes. Her warmth, humor, and eagerness to cultivate a beginner's mind by observing ones self with fresh eyes, make her a wonderful teacher for all level practitioners.
