In 2013, she received her RYT 200 hour certification from Arhanta Yoga Ashram. Recent teachers include Michelle Cassandra Johnson, Jivana Heyman, and Rodrigo Souza.

She is currently focused on integrating chair yoga into her classes, with particular attention to practices for older adults. Jaeda looks forward to continued learning, including learning from missteps, on a path to foster greater inclusion in her classes.
