Once called a “gentle general,” Jacoby teaches the philosophies of yoga and Buddhism on the mat and on the cushion in daily classes, workshops, and retreats. He has a knack for working with students  who often feel unwelcome or unanticipated in the yoga classroom and is committed to supporting the skillbase and leadership arising from marginalized communities.
