JEAN GRANT SUTTON Jean’s dream is to support the vision of
Integrative Yoga by making it accessible to all,
especially those who can’t take large amounts
of time away from family or work to do the two
week intensive programs. She aims to create a
non-judgmental, non-competitive learning
environment where the student feels free to
explore all the aspects of yoga. Her format is setup
for the students to have a lot of direct
experience, practice, discussion, instruction and
healing. Her intention is to give the student the
ability to facilitate classes of their own with
confidence and enthusiasm for this ancient art
of self awareness.
