Jamie Busch

Jamie studied dance for 15 years and her search for another artistic form of movement led her to yoga nearly 12 years ago. She completed a teacher training program at The Yoga Shala of Portland in 2004.  There she studied the classical literature of The Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gita and The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali for two years.  This literature serves as a basis of her training and she often draws from it in her own practice.  While at The Yoga Shala her asana practice consisted of foundational training in Shadow Yoga, which is a Hatha-based training inspired by forms of yoga, dance and martial arts.

Jamie met her current teacher Tiffany Cruikshank in 2009 and completed her 200 hour teacher training program in 2010.  This training experience was rooted in the understanding of the human anatomy and how it relates to the movement and alignment of yoga.  

She currently practices and teaches Power Vinyasa. She encourages students to find their own humbled experience on the mat, and to recognize how that experience relates to life off of the mat.  She challenges her students to meet themselves where they are, and to embrace that space with compassion and intention. 

When Jamie is not teaching, she enjoys traveling, seeing live music, playing outdoors, cooking and spending time with her husband and daughter.
