“I’ve tried so many methods of healing my relationship to my body after sexual assault and your classes have helped me more than anything. Staying consistent with your lessons has been the best decision I’ve made for myself in terms of self care. This program is changing my life, thank you. And another thank you for making yoga so accessible! I recommend you anytime someone mentions an interest in yoga :)”

“I honestly feel as though I can’t put to words how much Jasmine’s yoga program has meant to me, and how grateful I am to have the opportunity to be a part of it. I have consistently been struck and so inspired by how much Jasmine infuses everything, from the month’s themes and mantras, to the language she uses to guide us through the practice, with such intention, care, and thoughtfulness. Participating in this program has completely changed my relationship to yoga – I had been trying to get into it for years, but could never find a class that worked for me and consistently brought me back to the mat. Jasmine’s healing focused approach has made all the difference. I appreciate all that Jasmine offers in each class, and how much she emphasizes our agency and safety, both physically and mentally. This is the first time I have been in a class where I feel the instructor has built a culture of consent into all that they do – and I feel so lucky to experience it. Even writing about it now makes me tear up! It has meant so much to me to have an environment that gives me the space to move through what comes up during each practice, as and when I need it. I feel safe to challenge myself, to rest, to do whatever it is that my body needs that day. I love the balance between restorative, yin and full body flow. They are definitely highlights of my week. And also, the classes are just so fun, with beautiful music and comfortable energy!

Beyond how enjoyable and engaging each practice is, I deeply appreciate the monthly focus for our practice. I almost feel as if Jasmine is reading my mind every time she announces the next one – they are so relevant and genuine, and I appreciate the space to explore them in my body, heart and mind, both individually and with the Abundance Baddie community. I still now look back at the mantras from my first month in the program, and love seeing all the things we have focused on in the five months since then. It feels genuine, intentional, and grounding – not like the hollow catch phrases around healing which I have often experienced and struggled with before this program. And the learnings and intentions feel so applicable to so many aspects of my life. This past week was a perfect example – just as I have been finding out about and working through how to change my inequitable compensation at work, our mantra was “I ask for what I am worth, and my worth is not up for negotiation.” Some hilarious cosmic timing, and I felt blessed for the reminder.

All of this is strengthened by the community that Jasmine has brought together through this program. I deeply admire the ability to build connection and community over zoom, and appreciate each of the practice check-ins, monthly meet-ups, book club events, and emails, especially during this past year. Definitely am working on making it to more of them! Being able to explore yoga in a (zoom) room in this environment with Jasmine as a guide, particularly with so many people of color from across the world, has been so special.

I also really appreciate that this program’s approach doesn’t feel like denial of all heartbreaking things and systems of oppression that we do not have control over, which have been even more clear and devastating in this past year – as if we can just meditate our way out of things in a bubble. I often think back one of the mantras we discussed in my first class – “I am ready to release the idea of what my life should be to fully awaken to what is.” And I remember Jasmine specifying that we were saying “awaken,” not “accept,” since not everything is acceptable. And we moved to focusing on the present moment, and what we do have the power to change. This really stuck with me, and I feel represents what I love so much about Jasmine’s program. Through this challenging year, it has helped me approach what I can control and how to take care of my physical and mental health, to continue moving through. And I am so so grateful. Thank you so much Jasmine, for all that you do and all that you are. It is such a joy to get to share practices with and learn from you!”

“I like being able to identify what the feelings in my body mean; being able to tell when my body is communicating with me instead of feeling disconnecting from it. It makes no sense I’ve gone almost 27 years just not being aware of myself. I can only attribute it to starting yoga. I cry in almost all of your classes because of how freeing this journey has been. I’m so grateful I found this community.”

“Jasmine Allen radiates comfort. I appreciate her voice, her words, and how her entire approach to yoga is designed to hold us. It’s a beautiful & rare feeling, especially online.”

“I think it’s all just great, I like being able to be with everyone live, but I also love being able to pick classes that target certain areas when I’m on my own. Being able to have variations for poses makes me more confident practicing on my own, and I’m excited to grow”

“I’m a white Canadian, so completely outside the core community, but I hope that I’m not intrusive or disrespectful to the others in the class. I did not want to keep paying for corporate WW yoga and I’m pleased to continue subscribing to your lessons. Your approach is so calming and safe and empowering. I feel completely at ease and also challenged in your class. Your mantras are so instructive and guide really deep self-reflection and growth, but you have just the right amount of fun to keep it from feeling too heavy. I appreciate the emails and the text reminders.”

“I get so my much out of what you offer. The emails and what you say during the practice enrich me as much as the poses. Thank you!”

“Very please with the program. I appreciate the comfortable and welcoming culture that has been created in a very intentional and inclusive manner. I enjoy being able to attend to my overall wellbeing in a holistic manner in one space of peace. Thanks Jasmine”

“I love your classes and your style of teaching. My practice has blossomed in this new season of learning from you, thank you!”

“When I began working with Jasmine, I was at a point in my life where I was noticing the way I responded to certain experiences and emotions. I realized that some of my thoughts and behaviors weren’t benefitting me anymore and I needed change but I had no idea how to begin. Together, Jasmine and I broke my big goal into small ones.
What I love most about working with Jasmine is the nurture and compassion she weaves into your work together. The support and encouragement she brings is unexplainable. She shows up for you every time and it makes you want to show up for yourself. Jasmine creates a safe space to feel, learn, and rebuild. If you are ready to make a change, do it with Jasmine Allen. ”

“I benefited a lot from the classes each week because I was using my body to feel centered. It was a decent balance that helped me prepare for my work week. I loved how Jasmine explained each pose, what they meant, and what the purpose of each pose was for your body.”

“Jasmine’s explanation of how to do certain poses was so helpful, especially downward dog. I’ve had yoga instruction in the past, but the detail that Jasmine put into hand and foot placement made such a difference in my ability to hold my poses.”

“Her classes are great! They’re paced to perfection and I’m still able to get a healthy sweat going. It sets the tone for my day.”
