LIFE ON A MAT

THE MAT IS YOUR COMPASS TO A STRONGER MIND-BODY

MY JOURNEY

I’m an açaí-bowl lover, native Texan, and a certified practitioner in yoga and diversity. I help individuals pinpoint their progress in their healing and cultivate self-led care that’s actually life-changing.

ABOUT ME

Jasmine Hunt

I’m Jasmine Hunt, a teacher and practitioner specializing in yoga, wellness, and self-advocacy. With a background in conflict resolution, intercultural competence, and leadership, I integrate healing practices with practical tools to support both personal and professional growth. My mission is to make wellness accessible by helping individuals reconnect with their inner compass, cultivate resilience, and step into their fullest potential in every area of life.

MY APPROACH
TO THIS WORK

FOCUSED on Self-Led Healing Practices

I am dedicated to helping you reconnect with your inner compass, set intentional goals, and build practices that support both healing and growth. Together, we’ll create a path forward rooted in resilience, accessibility, and meaningful transformation.

PRIORITIZING People + Communities

My journey with yoga began at 21, and I am honored to pass on this transformative practice while staying rooted in its origins and traditions. I hold a 200-hour RYT with specialized training in vinyasa yoga and continue to deepen my study and practice to serve others with integrity and care. Today, I teach in community spaces, private residences, workplaces, and offer 1:1 support through my courses.

COMMITTED to Equity + Collective Care

LIFE ON A MAT was founded on the belief that wellness must include all identities, no matter where you reside in the world. I believe healing and wellness must be accessible to every body, identity, and lived experience. My work is rooted in creating spaces where all people feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Philosophy & Background

My philosophy centers on empowering individuals to discover their soul’s strengths, remove barriers, and create meaningful change in their lives. I currently reside on Jumanos, Kiikaapoi, Tawakoni, and Wichita land. I advocate for yoga through a lens of anti-harm, collective liberation, and anti-oppression, and I remain committed to lifelong learning. I actively work to decolonize wellness by creating community spaces and ensuring accessibility for all bodies.
