Today we’d like to introduce you to Jaclyn Winters.
Jaclyn, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started teaching Yoga and barre a little over ten years ago. I originally got into it as a side hustle, then it quickly became my main hustle. I fell in love with helping others achieve their goals, heal from injuries and trauma, and watch them step into their loving power center.
I taught for several different studios over the years, was a teacher trainer for many different brands, and even owned my own franchise studio at the age of 26. As my teaching evolved, I started to connect to my own teaching style. Every time I would teach a class, I would set goals for myself as a teacher: 1. Create seamless, safe choreography that always prepped the body for the next pose. 2. Use my cueing to keep people present, in their body and aligned properly. 3. Create connection with everyone in the room, and gift them with something new every class. Something that could awaken a new layer within themselves. That’s how The Conscious Method was created.
The Conscious Method is comprised of three signature classes: Conscious Barre, Conscious Yoga and Conscious Movement. The foundation of the classes are to align first, then engage, then move. We focus heavily on finding our mind/body connection, proper alignment and staying present for the entire class. We work in first, and let that radiate out (Members call it a work in, not a work out). Every class, we tap into our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies.
Once COVID hit, I knew I had to create a way for everyone to keep their bodies moving, stay grounded and connected. That’s when I created our Conscious Membership program. For only $19 per month, anyone could become a Conscious Member and receive access to unlimited Zoom livestream classes and on-demand access. If anyone is financial impacted by this pandemic, then they get access for free. My favorite quote is: “Our world is a reflection of our collective consciousness.” My interpretation of that is the more we can inspire each other to rise to our highest vibration, the more we as a collective whole can raise the vibration of the entire planet. That is my goal with The Conscious Method.
Has it been a smooth road?
Once I got out of my own way, then it became easier. I feel whenever we start something new that fear/ego mind pops up and loves to ask all those questions.. “How are we going to do this?”… “Is anyone going to even join?”… “How are you going to pay your bills?”… “This is going to be a lot of work.”… Etc, etc.. Once I let all of that go and truly trusted in the Universe, things have aligned as they should. There are still bumps, however they are easier to maneuver now.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
The Conscious Method has three signature classes: Conscious Barre, Conscious Yoga, and Conscious Movement. The foundation of all our classes is alignment of all our bodies (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual), mind/body connection and staying present. Our motto: align, engage, then move.
We specialize in creating a work in and allowing our inner work to radiate out. I tell people, if you are looking for a place where you can come to bust out reps, I’m not going to be your girl. I truly encourage people to show-up for themselves. I encourage proper alignment for your body in every position. I encourage isolating individual muscles to make movement happen in ever position. I encourage letting go of whatever happened in your past, and whatever you have intended for the future, and show-up for yourself in the now. Due to all those goals, I am known for my cueing, and verbal and hands-on adjustments.
I’m most proud of hearing member’s stories of healing physically, mentally and emotionally. Hearing how members have tapped into their love within. Witnessing their inner transformation and how that radiates out is magical to watch.
What sets us apart from other modalities is our attention to detail, in-depth cueing, proper alignment and wide variety of class options. I know that everyone awakens differently so wanted to offer barre for this who awaken via sculpt/strength training, yoga for those who awaken through connection, breath, deep stretch and strength, and movement for those who awaken through cardio classes.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Since my business is mainly online at the moment, really any place is a good place for my business. I do love LA for the outdoor options.
