Will Jaquith-Houston is both Founder & Executive Director of Fifth Element Health & Wellness, Inc., a 501(c)3 Non-Profit and Registered Massachusetts based Public Charity.
Fifth Element Health & Wellness, Inc. was founded to share the many benefits of Yoga with people living with some of life’s most challenging conditions, including, but not limited to Cancer, Parkinson’s, Trauma, Depression, Stress, Anxiety, and Chronic Pain, Addiction, and Trauma.
On March 6, 2018, Fifth Element Health & Wellness & Will Jaquith-Houston were presented with a Certificate of Special Mayoral Appreciation by Joseph M. Petty, Mayor of The City of Worcester, in recognition for their mission driven activities.
Will Jaquith-Houston is a Yoga Therapist with over 20 years experience practicing and teaching yoga, meditation & mindfulness and holds specialty certificates & certifications, including Yoga for Cancer, Functional Yoga Therapy Intensive, Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator, Ayurveda Principles & Practices in Yoga Therapy and received advanced Teacher of Yoga Therapy training at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health.
Will shares the benefits of Yoga, Mindfulness & Meditation with others through Fifth Element Health & Wellness because Yoga profoundly impacted his quality of life and provided tools for healing, healthy living, and a greater sense of well-being and personal transformation following a traumatic motor vehicle accident in 2008. The trauma resulted in multiple surgeries, extensive rehabilitation and long-term effects.
His teaching style and approach is customized to the individual or group and draws upon the Integrative Yoga Therapy (IYT) process model & methodologies. Yoga philosophy is theme based, and often incorporates the principles and practices of Ayurveda to deliver gentle, adaptive and therapeutic programs thus making Yoga, Meditation & Mindfulness accessible to anyone.
Focusing almost exclusively in 1-on-1 Individual Sessions and Small Groups, his gentle and integrative approach helps those he serves to better manage and/or find relief from symptoms and/or side effects stemming from lifestyle, treatments, medications, medical conditions and/or other limitations.
