I started practicing yoga several years ago out of curiosity. I was fortunate enough to have Jake as one of my very first instructors, and he easily recognized that I was new to yoga — and had some past injuries to contend with. He took the time to discuss the issues and my level of practice, and with my curiosity developed into a daily practice that has come to mean much to me. Yoga has become a huge part of my life and I owe a great deal of that to Jake’s positive, compassionate approach to teaching and life. Jake freely shares his passion for yoga in every class at DRIVE — and makes practicing the true joy it is meant to be. "

In my job helping people learn a new language, trust is required between teacher and student. The same is true with yoga. That’s what makes Jake at DRIVE special — he’s kind, patient laughs with us, and is never strict or rigid. I used to think that I wasn’t skinny, flexible, or strong enough for yoga.  But Jake reminds us that whatever we are is exactly what we should be. Now, I have the confidence to push a little harder, to try new things, to be silly. And I’m stronger for it.”

For the last few years, I have had Tony Hajjar as my personal trainer. With his encouragement and guidance, I have become more confident and disciplined with improving my health and nutrition.  Training with Tony has taught me the proper forms and techniques of exercising and dieting.  Without his continued support and that of DRIVE, I could not have accomplished my goals.  Tony, thank for you for being a vital contributor to the success of my health.”
