Jeff Bailey
Founder of Avita Yoga
Jeff’s life has centered around yoga. Since his first yoga experience in 1985, he has taught over 13,000 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.
