Jared’s background

Jared stumbled into being a trainer after being transformed by movement. His coming out - and coming into his own - as a strong articulate person were deeply influenced by his college dance training. Later, Personal Training taught him about form and the power of habit, Pilates illuminated the ease that flows from being centered and aligned, and an injury sparked his natural curiosity - causing him to study multiple specializations in motor control, spinal mechanics, and more. He loves helping others discover movement practices that both inspire and feel good.
