Jim found his love for yoga in 2015 when he saw a “Hot Yoga” sign across the road from his hotel room and decided to give it a try. The rest is history. Soon, it became 3-5 days a week of Bikram/Hot style and on to Vinyasa style. In 2019, Jim added Yoga Sculpt into his routine to help build strength and to complement his yoga practice.

After moving to Indiana in 2020, Jim became a regular practitioner at PurePower Hot Yoga. In June 2023, he completed 50 Hour Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training at CorePower Yoga. Jim is the National Sales Manager for a material handling equipment company and travels the entire US for his job and loves taking classes in different cities. In teaching, he hopes to inspire people to push their limits and see what they are capable of. He also hopes to connect more people to hot yoga, in hopes that they will also see life changing benefits he has.
