About Jessica

Jessica began practicing yoga many moons ago. While working in a prison environment, where she began her career at a young age, she sought out positive and supportive ways to let go of the everyday challenges and stressors that came with her job. Yoga became the heart of her pursuit to create a healthy lifestyle.

Jessica’s practice taught her that the lessons learned on the mat can be applied beyond the mat, in our everyday life—even when that life brings you into a prison. As she moved beyond her own mat, she chose to take the lessons she learned and share them through teaching.

Jessica’s extensive trainings began with her 200-hour teacher training at Frog Pond Yoga Center, which she completed in 2014. She continued with an additional 300-hour training certification with Bhava Yoga in Brattleboro, VT. Several lineages of yoga influence Jessica’s teaching; you will find elements of Jivamukti, Baptiste, Hatha, and Ashtanga as you flow through her classes. These elements have been integrated over time as she is continuously attending workshops and trainings. In addition to yoga, she has completed workshops and certifications in meditation and Reiki.

Her classes focus on the connection of mind, body, and breath as she links them together through movement, strength, and grace. Jessica takes pride in creating a flow that can be challenging but playful, with emphasis on alignment. Her classes will help you quiet your mind and strengthen your body to allow a complete transformation, as you evolve into the truest version of yourself. Jessica’s teaching reminds her students that when they leave their mat, they can choose to be the person they want to be.
