About me
A devoted practitioner, teacher, and guide, Jackie Dobrinska serves as Director of Education & Community for Ram Dass' Love, Serve, Remember Foundation and Head Teacher for Blue Ridge Yoga's 500-hour YTT. Her teaching is the fruit of close personal study with the Himalayan Institute, ParaYoga, and some of the most beloved spiritual teachers of our time — among them Krishna Das, Mirabai Bush, Jack Kornfield, Sharon Salzberg, David Nichtern, Nina Rao, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Roshi Joan Halifax, Trudy Goodman, and others.
A 500-hour E-RYT and YACEP with over two decades of immersive study, Jackie draws together classical Yoga, Tantra, and Vedanta with global mysticism, earth-based and feminine wisdom, and contemplative traditions from around the world. As an ordained interspiritual minister, she moves across lineages with genuine integrity, always making room for the voices and wisdom too often left at the margins.
She hosts the Ram Dass Here & Now podcast, as well as Lion's Roar's online meditation program, and has taught at Kripalu, Ram Dass retreats, Yoga International, and beyond. She also serves as Director of Integration with The Pearl Psychedelic Institute and a Board Member of the Center for Conscious Living and Dying.
