Jake Miller

Jake received his teacher training through Wake Up Yoga under the direction of Corina Benner and Jill Manning.  As Co-Executive Director of Yes! And…, a local non-profit collaborative arts education company, Jake has a passion for teaching as a means of inviting others into the transformative experience of discovering and claiming their own power and voice.  Trained as an actor and modern dancer, Jake brings a diversified sensitivity and awareness to his yoga practice.  As an educator of both children and adults, he enters the classroom with a philosophy that assumes something particular about the teacher/student relationship:  it is the role of the teacher not to fill a lack in the student, for the student lacks nothing, the student arrives whole – it is the task of the teacher to use intuition, compassion, wisdom, knowledge and experience to offer an invitation, to invite the student into his/her own innate and divine power and worth.  It is with a focus on the life practices of grace and presence that Jake seeks (both in his own practice and his teaching) the integration, intention, and incarnation of spirit and body.
