Jara Van der Ham

@jarafelicia

For Jara, her exploration of yoga began when she left Amsterdam to move to Paris in 2016. Always drawn to movement and sport — from baseball to ballet — she found yoga to be a gentler and more caring approach to the body and mind. She quickly realised that yoga could be extremely beneficial and that everyone should be able to enjoy it.


Today, Jara passionately teaches creative and functional vinyasa, often centred around key postures, as well as gentle but powerful yin. She also offers specific classes focused on backbends and back health.


With an approach that is both technical and accessible, she creates a relaxed space where everyone can challenge themselves with confidence, forget their insecurities and explore their potential. Jara is known for her passion for guiding her students to places they never thought they could reach. Teaching in English and French, she makes it a point of honour to bring a lightness to her classes. For her, yoga is above all a moment of reconnection with oneself and deep well-being.
