She is a full time mom of two boys and a full time minister, and she uses her yoga practice to fuel both. To quote Jewel, she loves how yoga helps her "become more and more (herself) with time". Her classes aim to guide a check-in with the Self through the mind, body and breath.

Jim Martyn, Office Manager

Meet the front desk face of Exhale! Most mornings, you will find Jim at our front desk to assist you in checking in and out. He also serves as our behind-the-scenes guy, taking care of making sure that the office runs smoothly, as well as being in charge of administrative work. After decades of working in mental health and with the special needs/autistic community, he brings his patience, kindness and skill set to this role. If you need anything at all, from a cup of tea to assistance with scheduling and all in between, don't hesitate to ask. When he isn't here, you'll find him joyfully wrangling our crew of four kiddos.

Thank you!
