Jeff Costa on Clubhouse

Bio

I am Jeff Costa, a movement and meditation teacher living in New Bedford, MA. I guide educational and embodied experiences of wellbeing, mindfulness and self-care. I coach people in developing their own rituals of wellness through practices of yoga, dance, stillness, breath - the technology of happiness.

A career in dance, personal training and nutritional coaching brought me to Los Angeles working as a master trainer and international fitness presenter for Crunch Gym, Nike, Cirque du Soleil, Kellogg’s and others. Paradoxically, the external gloss and pace of the Hollywood lifestyle masked a 5-year downward spiral through isolation, darkness and addiction. With exercise DVDs on the market and a regular guest on TV, radio, print and online media, I walked away from my dream job training A-list celebrities in order to save my life.

Back home, surrounded by family and the light of recovery, I found yoga.

By building a daily practice of healthy lifestyle choices, surrounded by like-minded community, I believe we ALL are able to compost our personal struggle and suffering into flowers and fruits of love, sharing and sacred service. With a decade now of coaching private yoga clients, teaching accessible and inclusive group yoga classes, lecturing on self-care and guiding holistic yoga retreats, the time has come to open Sangha New Bedford, a practice studio and healing arts community. Please join us in the launch of our mission!
