How The World Can Shape You, And Hope You Can Shape The World with Jeffrey Villanueva

Jeffrey’s yoga journey started in 2007, after graduating from Berklee College of Music. At the time he couldn’t afford to attend daily yoga classes, but the practice was such an emotional healing bomb for him that he learned on his own from DVDs, YouTube and attending one community class each week at his local yoga studio. Jeffrey moved to New York in 2009 and began practicing at Jivamukti Yoga School. In 2011 he completed the 300hr Jivamukti Yoga Certification, respectfully thanking Sharon Gannon and David Life for making that possible and continued on to complete the 500hr Jivamukti apprenticeship that same year.He began practicing Ashtanga Yoga on his own in 2012 and in 2014 I found his teacher, Guy Donahaye (director of the Ashtanga Yoga Shala NYC). In 2015, he began apprenticing under Guy's tutelage, acquiring all the techniques, concepts and philosophies that were imparted to him from his teacher. Jeffrey continues to immerse himself daily in sadhana so that he can share his love and passion for yoga to inspire others as he has been. You can connect with Jeffrey at @jeffreyvillanuevayoga and on his website. He is offering an Inversions workshop through @yogavidanyc at the end of Jan and you can find out more about it here. We’ve also just joined the Clubhouse app at @kapwakonvos. Connect with us there as we plan to host some future interactive conversations there!
