Yoga with Jas

Yoga with Jas Jas is on a mission to create space for mindful wellness within organizations and community through Learn to calm your sh*t so you can get sh*t done.

Slow down, to level up. We don’t live for hustle culture life & attitude. Instead, we pride ourselves on slow living and not constantly burning ourselves out. We’re here for self-reflection & development, not hustling through life. Here you’ll find; life lesson quotes, anti-hustle culture & burnout quotes, Yoga, Yoga Teacher Training, Meditation resources and some Indian food cooking & recipes. Mo

re about Jas Bandal
A firm believer in slowing down and connecting to ourselves to allow for a much deeper and more meaningful connection to our community. She’s kept this concept at the forefront of her business. Through practicing and embracing the elements of yoga and meditation for over 18 years, Jas had the opportunity to apply these concepts to my life and to share them with so many others. A masters in law and a degree in international business, Jas lived the hustle culture life and has made it a promise to find a more balanced way of living for herself and clients. Jas is known for her passionate, yet calm demeanour. She has a unique approach to teaching and living yoga with little bits of sass and samosas sprinkled in (just to keep it interesting). An avid traveler, Jas

“To the people who feel like there's something more for you, to the ones who feel like they just need some space to catch their breath, to the ones who are yearning for meaningful conversation...I see you, and I'm here to support you.” - Jas

I've been around for a some time now, and these are some things I've learned and observed.

A few more I wanted to add:
- Rest is harder to teach than movement, and is often more necessary.
-We can love yoga but still critique it. In fact, we probably should.

What would you add to this list?

With love,
Jas xo

Everyone says finding yourself is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Careful. Patient. Methodical.

But what if that’s the problem?
What if we’ve been taught to sift, sort, shrink, and struggle… when what’s actually required is a little destruction?

Burn the haystack.
Burn the expectations that were never yours.
Burn the roles you perform just to be palatable.
Burn the timelines that make you feel like you’re already behind.

Because sometimes clarity doesn’t come from searching harder; it comes from removing everything that was never true to begin with.

But what remains after the fire?
That’s the part of you that was never lost.

So no, we’re not digging anymore.
We’re done exhausting ourselves trying to “find” something that’s buried under other people’s noise.
We’re choosing to see clearly.

Even if it means setting a few things on fire first. 🔥

We carry ourselves everywhere. Changing scenery doesn’t erase patterns, but it does reveal them.

A new city, a new studio, a new relationship...none of it deletes the patterns we’ve practiced. It just gives them a different stage to play out on.

And that’s not failure. That’s information.

Because when everything external shifts and something familiar still shows up - like the overthinking, the overgiving, the holding back, the proving - we’re being shown what lives within us, not what’s wrong around us.

A change in scenery doesn’t fix us, but it does illuminate us.
It reveals the loops we’ve normalized.
The roles we slip into without noticing.
The stories we’ve mistaken for truth.

And from that place, we get choice.

Not to become someone new, but to meet ourselves more honestly.
To soften what’s rigid.
To question what feels automatic.
To stay present when we’d usually escape.

Growth isn’t found in running. It’s found in recognizing.
We carry ourselves everywhere, yes. But we also carry the capacity to relate to ourselves differently, wherever we land.

Yin yoga isn’t about doing more.

It’s about staying long enough to understand what’s already there.

This 15-hour Yin Yoga Training is open to anyone curious about the practice.
We’ll explore:
• yin philosophy
• accessible anatomy
• the body’s energy centres
• and the art of slowing down

Teachers, students, and curious humans welcome.
A little yin experience helps, but curiosity is the real prerequisite!

And maybe that’s the quiet truth we don’t say out loud.

We don’t just celebrate who we’re becoming. We also honour who carried us here.

The selves that adapted.
The selves that endured.
The selves that held hope when hope was thin.

So much of the language around growth celebrates becoming stronger, wiser, clearer, more healed. But rarely do we talk about the tenderness of what gets left behind.

Sometimes we don’t outgrow versions of ourselves because they were wrong.

Sometimes we outgrow them even though they carried us through impossible seasons.

The people-pleasing.
The hyper-independence.
The belief that our worth had to be proven.

Those patterns didn’t appear out of nowhere.They were intelligent adaptations to the environments we lived in.

So when they begin to soften, it can feel like loss.

But it’s not the loss of who we are.

It’s the nervous system learning that it no longer has to survive in the same way.

And that kind of growth deserves patience, not pressure. ❤️

Dreaming of warmer days in the midst of this ridiculous polar vortex.

to one of the days I said “why not?” and ended up flying. 💫
A little encouragement, a lot of laughter, and a reminder that magic often lives in the moments where we're the most present.
More play. More courage. More moments like this.

Yes, I teach yoga. But it's only one (small) part of my movement practice. More often than not, the parts of the practice I'm most drawn to are the ones that are more reflective in nature.

Through the years, I've gained an appreciation for the things my body can do and have learned the limits that I want to play in. This, for me, is where my yoga practice kicks in. Is it my ego telling me to go heavier, higher, faster? Or is it coming from a place of curiosity?

I recently started back with the lyra after a few injuries, and what fun it's been! Progress has been slow, but everything is a win when the goal is experience ❤️

Shout out to the incredible .photography for setting up this incredible day a few weeks ago. ✨️

A full cup will spill without a steady hand.

The more we have, the more careful we need to be. Note: careful does not mean stingy.

When a cup is empty, it can move any which way and nothing will fall out. With a full cup, we need to mind the impact.

Abundance requires control. We all want the "full cup"...the peace, the growth, he opportunities.
But we don't tend to talk about the discipline it takes to keep them.

With a full cup, we're more vulnerable to loss and cannot move the same way we did with an empty one. Every move needs to be intentional.

We had such a beautiful time filming Episode 3 of Simply Cooking with Daniela Crocco for our local TV station this past weekend! ✨

We rolled up our sleeves and made samosay — the kind of food that doesn’t just fill our plates, but brings people together. For so many of us, recipes like these are more than just ingredients and spices — they’re stories, memories, and love folded into every layer.

In our community, food has always been the cornerstone of connection. It’s how we celebrate, how we comfort, and how we weave ourselves into the larger fabric of who we are.

If you're in the Ottawa area, I host samosa making workshops for small groups bi-monthly and by request! The 2026 schedule will be posted soon.

Keep an eye out for the episode airing this January. I can’t wait to share this little taste of home and heart with you all!

Pilot program loading ✨️

We're doing something a bit different with a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training that looks and feels different from the usual model. This will be a 12-month journey, moving at a gentler pace so that yoga can weave into everyday life instead of feeling like an intensive sprint.

This training is rooted in a decolonized approach and centred on the BIPOC experience. We’ll grow together in practice, reflection, and community — with space to breathe and be.

If you’ve been wanting a path into teaching, or simply to deepen your relationship with yoga in a way that feels authentic and sustainable, this may be the place for you.

Scholarships are available through . DM me if you’d like to learn more — I’d love to share this first step with you🫶🏾

Please share with anyone who may find benefit in this program.
