Trammell “ Trey” Jones, M.Ed
When I embarked on this journey to share the practices of yoga and meditation in 2017, it was a dream to see how widely accepted they’ve become. The access that’s been created, the expansion of the teaching community and unique social events all with common goals centered around being of service to the community. I created Guided Frequency in 2020 with the mission to creatively spread awareness to the lifestyle benefits, while also exploring and sharing brands in alignment. Based in Los Angeles, I’ve dedicated myself to holding space for others, assisting them with unlocking and mastering the innate tools within selves for personal growth and self-discovery.
My Post-Secondary Educational journey began at the University of Cincinnati, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. As a first-generation student, I was in the first graduating class of the Cincinnati Pride program, now known as Gen-1. Throughout my time at UC, I immersed myself in various community development initiatives and leadership opportunities, ultimately earning induction into prestigious honorary organizations, Sigma Sigma and Men of Metro. Together with my peers, I played a pivotal role in founding the Collegiate 100 Men's Honorary, recognizing those who contribute significantly to the Black community, which is still thriving 15+ years later. Lastly, I am a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc, initiated Spring 2007, Beta Eta Chapter.
Post-graduation, I ventured to Los Angeles, pursuing a Master of Education in Post-Secondary Administration & Student Affairs (PASA) at the University of Southern California (USC). This chapter led me to explore roles in access, staff and student development, recruitment, and retention, all driven by a desire to make a positive impact. I served in roles with the TRIO Educational Talent Search, the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and Loyola Marymount University. Additionally, having competed in track my whole life, I began coaching high school teams (Verbum Dei HS, Salesian HS), serving as a mentor to my athletes.
Feeling a yearning for something more profound, I transitioned to the world of experiential marketing, producing high-budget events for renowned brands like Nike, Jordan, and Sambazon in Agency settings with Optimist Inc. and MKTG. With my background in staff selection, training, and logistics; landing in a Production Manager role was a natural transition from Student Affairs.
It was during these years where I was feeling the weight to figure out my purpose. My exploration of yoga began in 2014 at the recommendation of a friend who had been immersed in the practice since his early childhood. I was initially driven by the physical benefits but over time, my practice evolved beyond the mat, influencing my mindset and approach to life. Having trained with Travis Eliot and Lauren Eckstrom, while being influenced by teachers like Bianca Fearon, Bryan Kest, and Jerome Nervier; I bring a breadth of knowledge from many different styles. I’ve created lasting partnerships with major brands like Alo Yoga, while having opportunities to teach all over the world as a Global Wellness Day Ambassador for the Four Seasons Hotels. My international footprint has also been expanded through features with Inner Dimension TV, High Snobiety, and Walk Good LA.
Fusing my profound understanding of education, along with my yoga and meditation practices, I’m able to craft thoughtfully curated classes designed to challenge and empower individuals, allowing them to find peace and release. As a former athlete, I possess a deep understanding of the mind and body connection, enabling me to tailor experiences accessible to all levels. I lead with patience and depth, emphasizing self-awareness, communication, and the importance of mindful breathing.
My life's work is a reflection of my personal journey of growth and discovery. Yoga and meditation have been more than practices; they've been vehicles for elevating my highest highs and finding gratitude during my lowest lows. Recognizing this gift, I am committed to paying it forward to anyone on their own journey of self-realization. I have a lot of goals and aspirations to bring more mindfulness to the world and am always interested in connecting with individuals and brands looking to join in magnifying our collective missions and voices in the world.
Lets elevate with love!
