Jonas
JONAS PARK
Jonas's yoga journey is a testament to perseverance, resonating with many. With no prior physical activity, he turned to yoga to alleviate chronic back pain and quickly became an ardent practitioner. Unable to find teaching opportunities, he began teaching at home, eventually founding Second Side Yoga a decade ago with community support.
Leading a double life, Jonas has worked as an art director and photographer for Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus for over a decade, allowing him to pursue his passion for teaching yoga. Known for creative Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga, teacher training, and retreat leadership, he draws inspiration from renowned teachers like Susie Caicedo, Tim Miller, David Swenson as well as many different students’ practice and up and coming teachers alike.
With a belief in "leading by example" he cherishes his role within the growing Second Side Yoga community. When not on the mat, Jonas can be found capturing moments through his photography on www.jonaspark.com and Instagram (@jonasparkyoga, @jonasparkofficial).
