Jacobb Vela
Instructor
Jacobb was born and raised in the Texas Hill Country. He discovered Lagree in 2022 when a friend invited him to a class, and he was immediately captivated by the method’s slow pace and remarkable effectiveness. Jacobb attributes his newfound strength to Lagree, often saying, "If I can do Lagree, I can do anything." The challenge of Lagree inspired him to become a certified instructor.
Jacobb's journey began with a yoga certification in 2020, followed by training in mat Pilates. This background has deepened his understanding of body alignment and how to support diverse needs in class. Outside of teaching Lagree, Jacobb enjoys hiking, eating tacos, and spending time with his family. He appreciates how Lagree adapts to all stages of life and never becomes too easy, as there’s always room to move a bit slower. His favorite aspect of teaching is witnessing clients gain strength quickly. He believes, "Everyone deserves to be and feel strong; all you have to do is keep showing up.”
