Jake Goertzen

Over 14 years ago Jake climbed the stairs that led to the Green Lake Bikram Yoga studio in Seattle, knees probably shaking, in search for his first ever yoga class.

Since then he has practiced in 123 different studios all over the Bikram world and is proud to have graduated from the Teacher Training in Palm Desert Spring 09.

A Canadian American, Jake moved to San Diego from Seattle on September 1, 2010 and loves the yoga community in the area. Teaching Bikram Yoga full time is a dream come true and there is nothing like being part of people getting the yoga, says Jake. "The positive overall change Bikram Yoga brings to a person's life is incredible and unique to the individual."

Jake was involved in hockey for thirty years and was part of the 2004 Stanley Cup winning Tampa Bay Lightning before becoming a Bikram Yoga instructor.  - go back
