About Jamel Randall
Jamel Randall is a teacher, speaker, and guide who inspires others to embrace the power of acceptance while striving for something greater in every aspect of life. His journey to this profound understanding was born from unimaginable loss and resilience.
After losing both of his parents just nine months apart, Jamel found himself thrust into a new reality—taking custody of his disabled sister and navigating a life he never anticipated. Faced with overwhelming sorrow, he had no choice but to accept the moment. Yet, acceptance didn’t come with a roadmap, and he struggled to find a way forward.
It was a back injury that ultimately led him to his answer. Seeking relief, Jamel turned to yoga. What began as a physical recovery transformed into a mental and emotional liberation. Through yoga, he discovered how to use his heartache as fuel to propel himself toward a greater purpose.
Not only did Jamel become a yoga teacher, but he also opened his own studio, The Trap Yoga and Massage Studio. Over the years, he has taught and trained thousands of students across the globe, sharing his unique message and empowering others to become yoga teachers themselves.
At the heart of Jamel’s teachings is The T.R.A.P. Method, a philosophy inspired by the name of his studio:
Trust that life is happening for you, even in the hardest moments.
Reveal how you feel, but relinquish attachment to those feelings.
Accept where you are and how you feel, but never confuse acceptance with complacency—always set an aim for where you want to go.
Practice life as you pursue your aims with patience and persistence.
This powerful method has not only transformed lives in yoga classes around the world but has also resonated on stages at corporate events, conferences, and colleges. Jamel’s transition from the yoga room to the stage has been seamless because his message is universal: we all have a story that holds us back from becoming the greatest version of ourselves.
Through The T.R.A.P. Method, Jamel teaches how to break free from those restraints, embrace the present moment, and move forward with purpose and intention. His story is a testament to the strength found in acceptance and the power of setting aims for a brighter future.
