Radiant Life Yoga School
Radiant Life Yoga School teaches Yoga with the intention of Yoga, or liberation. Far beyond Yoga as "exercise" in the Radiant Life Yoga approach, the entire practitioner is acknowledged, body, mind, subtle and energetic aspects. The goal is the high healing which is knowledge of and alignment with your true Self. The tools and methods are based firmly on classical Raja and Hatha Yoga and experience of many years of practice. Meditation, posture, energetic practices (pranayama, bandha, mudra), nutrition and surrender comprise the method. The practice is offered as a service, with the intention of making these teachings available to all sincere students.

Jaina Portwood
Jaina L. Portwood, C.M.T., E-RYT
Jaina has been practicing yoga since 1998 and teaching since 2002. Jaina's classes are challenging, opening, and spiritually expansive. She uses pranayama, asana, nutrition, chanting, intuition, and insight to take students beyond the seen world and into cosmic consciousness. She has a wealth of yoga experience through over a decade of svadyaya (study of Self), bhaki (devotion), and has trained with yoga masters all over the country.
As a youth, Jaina accomplished incredible achievements as a competitive athlete. She consistently rose to the top, even as a young swimmer, breaking state records at the age of 7. This confidence and physical power has allowed her to see the world in a different paradigm, what some athletes call "the zone." Yoga is to go beyond the mind and body and into the infinite awareness of Self. Jaina has the ability to translate this ancient esoteric information as a spiritual guide. She also stands out as a powerful healer through hands on healing, massage therapy, and intuitive work.
Jaina's leadership in the RLY teacher training program includes alignment training, anatomy, biology, physiology, living foods, massage therapy, craniosacral therapy, meditation, fasting, and explorations of consciousness. As a community leader Jaina's teachings have uplifted and inspired thousands. She sees yoga available to us at all times during the day, whether or not you are on your mat. This integration of form, awareness, and intention opens doors to experience pure presence. Yoga is to go beyond the senses, and to merge the observer, the act of observing, and the ego-thought-stream into one luminous experience of life. May every moment of your day be dhyana, and every interaction satsang.
Jaina has a love for all things beautiful. She enjoys meditation, surfing turquoise tropical waves, basking in the sun, lush green plants, and her four angelic children. She has led 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training to hundreds of students over the last decade, and touched tens of thousands more through daily classes. She also offers private yoga study, nutrition & clinical massage therapy.
