Jacqui Rowley

Jacqui teaches alignment-focused classes that explore the purpose and mechanics of each pose, thoughtfully weaving them together to build toward a cohesive theme. Born and raised in South Africa, she brings a rich movement background in ballet and modern dance, and her teaching is deeply informed by a lifelong curiosity about the body and its potential. Her yoga journey began in 1996 when she joined her mother for a community class near their home in Johannesburg. While it wasn’t love at first practice, yoga became a meaningful way to spend time together. In 2008, Jacqui discovered vinyasa yoga and everything changed. The seamless connection between breath and movement felt like a homecoming, an experience of embodiment, presence, and joy. Since then, her passion for the practice has continued to evolve, and she remains endlessly fascinated by yoga’s capacity to challenge, teach, and transform, both on and off the mat.
