Meet Jamie Lufkins

Founder of Yoop Yoga

CYT-300 • CYT-200 • Sound Healing Practitioner • Wellness Guide

Welcome, I believe wellness should help you feel better, not become one more thing to keep up with!

Hi, I'm Jamie Lufkins, founder of Yoop Yoga LLC , where I help humans regulate their nervous systems through an approachable blend of accessible yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and the restorative power of nature!

My approach was created for real life. It's not about perfect poses, pushing through discomfort, or striving to become someone else. It's about slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and creating simple, sustainable practices that help you feel better long after the class is over.

Home is Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula, where Lake Superior, quiet forests, endless beaches, and winding back roads have become some of my greatest teachers!

When I'm not teaching, you'll likely find me with my family swimming in the lake, hiking wooded trails, exploring by boat & paddleboard, or taking the scenic route simply because there's something worth discovering around the next bend!

Summer & Autumn are my favorite seasons, and I've always had a soft spot for Halloween...a reminder to hold onto childlike wonder, curiosity, and find joy in the little things.

My love for the outdoors isn't separate from my work, it's the heart of it! Nature has an incredible way of calming the nervous system, quieting the mind, and reminding us that healing doesn't have to be rushed. Every Yoop Yoga experience is inspired by that same sense of freedom, peace, and presence.

Whether we're practicing on a beach, breathing together online, or immersed in the soothing sounds of healing instruments, every session is thoughtfully designed with one intention: to help you leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.

If you're carrying stress, burnout, anxiety, chronic tension, or simply the weight of everyday life, you're in the right place!

Welcome to Yoop Yoga, a modern approach to wellness for real life where movement, breath, nature, and sound healing come together to help you slow down, reconnect, and feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually.
