LIFE ON A MAT

THE MAT IS YOUR COMPASS TO A STRONGER MIND-BODY

MY JOURNEY

I'm Jasmine Hunt — a yoga teacher, inclusion practitioner and PhD student of Leadership. Off the mat, I'm an açaí-bowl lover and native Texan who's spent years learning to pinpoint exactly where healing lives in the body — so the people I work with can build self-led care that's actually life-changing.

ABOUT ME

Jasmine Hunt

I bring a unique philosophy to my work, inspired by movement, mindset, and leadership development to help people create lasting change. As a 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), with a Master’s in Conflict Management & Dispute Resolution and a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, I guide employees, communities, and individuals through a practical, whole-person approach to growth.

Every experience begins with the body. Through breathwork, mindfulness, and movement, we create the conditions for the nervous system to regulate and become more receptive to learning. From there, I introduce evidence-based frameworks and practical tools that translate insight into everyday action.

My mission is simple: to make wellness accessible, help people reconnect with their inner compass, and equip them with the skills to thrive with clarity, resilience, and purpose.

MY APPROACH
TO THIS WORK

FOCUSED on Self-Led Healing Practices

Every session starts with where you actually are, not where you think you should be. Together, we set intentional goals and build practices — on and off the mat — that make healing and growth the same motion.

PRIORITIZING People + Communities

My journey with yoga began at 21, rooted always in its origins and traditions rather than trends. Today that practice moves through community spaces, private residences, workplaces, and 1:1 course support.

COMMITTED to Equity + Collective Care

I founded LIFE ON A MAT in 2016 on one belief: wellness should be accessible to every body, identity, and lived experience I encounter, no matter where someone resides in the world. My work creates spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive, exactly as they are.
