Owner of

Avita Teacher Development 

I am the founder of Avita Yoga, a practice for joint health, lasting peace, and practical mobility.

Jeff’s life has centered around yoga. Since his first yoga experience in 1985, he has taught over 14,000 classes and workshops, owned studios, and founded Avita Yoga. Jeff Bailey is an expert at restoring joint health. He has helped thousands overcome pain and return to their favorite activities. Working with Jeff, many have avoided joint replacements because of his time-tested method of repurposing the muscles to cleanse joints and strengthen bones. In a time when muscles and extreme fitness have taken center stage, Jeff brings a revolutionary approach to health that addresses the problem—arthritis, degeneration, and limited mobility.

At age fifty, Jeff incurred a high-speed ski accident that severely damaged his hip. The turning point came when he realized joints crave compression. Jeff is a trained Rolfer and directs the annual Avita Yoga Teacher Training. He leads local and international retreats and has authored two books: The Yoga Mind and his national bestseller, Mobility For Life. Jeff has dedicated his life to helping people live happy, mobile, and independent lives. Now, in his sixties, he and countless others are living proof that Avita works. His practical approach to yoga helps restore and maintain joint health for life.

Hi Jeff,  Thank you so much for this teacher training. I learned so much and have great respect for all that you put into the training. I received more than I expected and I will be using this in my teaching.  I admire how you wove the ACIM teachings into this training, and how you embody living as a teacher as the course describes. It reminded me that we can only ever teach what we are. We don't seek or strive for truth but rather find out and remove the barriers to the truth for ourselves. Truth and authentic heart connection with others are precisely what this world needs now more than ever.   Your work with the Yoga Sutras was another unexpected surprise. I revere and have been in awe of Patanjali's masterwork. It was a delight to read your Yoga Mind book. Thank you!
