Jeff Bailey

Jeff is a father, husband, yoga instructor, trained Rolfer and entrepreneur.

Jeff was born and raised in Gunnison, CO and  began practicing Yoga in 1987. The discovery of yoga marked a deep turning point in his life. While he pursued his ambitions, the ongoing study of yoga provided backbone to everything he did. Another milestone was met in 1990 when he  when he discovered A Course in Miracles. He did not know it at the time, but this discovery was the beginning of a thought-system that would give deep meaning to everything. In 1993, Jeff graduated from the Rolf Institute. A form of bodywork, Rolfing showed him how thoughts and feelings take shape in our bodies. Though Jeff had studied several forms of yoga, his Rolfing training was the best yoga training he had ever had. Blending the two modalities made him a better practitioner, healer and yoga teacher.

“Like poetry to the poet, The Gift had to first speak to me before I could share it. This gift of unshakable inner peace and joy remains my constant goal. It is from this place of inner certainty, that I extend The Gift to all.”

Jeff has a gentle passion for sharing his intuitive sense of inner healing with others. He is owner and teacher at Yoga Loft in Boulder, Colorado. You can learn more about Jeff’s classes, and his yoga teacher trainings at YogaLoftBoulder.com.

Gene Langlois

Like many of us, Gene Langlois was early in his years when he first started questioning life. His parents fighting with each other was a common occurrence. During one of the episodes he had stepped outside to sit on the front porch in pouring rain. “Something’s wrong here,” said a voice inside, “there must be a better way.”

For much of his life, Gene would chase the answer to that question. He realized that the better way had to come from within, so he began exploring meditation and yoga — wonderful tools that he still uses today. The emptiness he felt inside, however, still remained.

Thinking he might find answers through ministry, Gene enrolled in ministerial school at Unity Village in Missouri. When he was about halfway through his training, he stumbled upon A Course in Miracles in the campus bookstore. He bought the book and began reading it, only to slam it shut because, at first, they made no sense to him. The books sat on his shelves for years, and he would dip into them occasionally because he sensed that they held the answer to his lifelong question. As he explored them—still not truly comprehending their messages—his mindset changed from “there’s something wrong here” to “there must be an answer to this and I will find it.”

“I was becoming the thought system that is presented in A Course in Miracles, and applying it to my life,” Gene says. “I began living in a world where I felt kindness for everyone and everything.”

Today Gene has found peace, a sense of purpose—and the true answer to his childhood question—through his contribution to The Gift. Feeling like I have just begun, I know my reality is as one with everything and with Creation,” he says. “I am no longer fearful, and I don’t feel lack. I feel young inside…playful. I found my better way. What a gift!”
