I could tell you how awesome it is to work with me… but I’ll let these happy clients and collaborators do it for me.
(And yes, my mom even gave me a testimonial!)
Jessica is a blessing to the yogic tradition, to her community and to me. In person or online, she creates a safe and supportive space for yoga and invites you in.
So many times I have come before her fragmented, distracted and off balance. Her teachings, breathwork, and especially her thoughtful, joyous, accessible yet challenging program of asanas – sets me right!

Jessica’s patience, wisdom, and genuine care for her yoga students have made each session a sanctuary for me.
I’ve learned to listen to my body, to breathe through challenges, and to find stillness amidst chaos. She teaches with gentleness, humbleness and humor, and freely offers and suggests moderations for students with different skill levels and physical limitations. I never feel self-conscious on the mat with Jessica.
She incorporates her mindfulness training in her classes, and the lessons she has imparted in me go beyond the asanas; they are life lessons that I carry with me every day.

“Jessica’s class provides a welcoming space with gentle yoga and encouragement to center our minds and bodies. I’ve been able to improve mobility and reduce some body aches and pains.”

As Jessica’s mom, of course I approach this with some bias. 😉
I have participated in Jess’s yoga classes off and on for probably 15 years. I have also been part of other yoga classes, but have always been drawn to the feeling and style of her classes. Jess is a very calm and self assured woman, and even growing up, she exhibited kindness, strength of convictions and courage to follow her own path.
Her yoga classes, both virtual and in person, contain not only physical yoga through poses but also spiritual insights, and even scientific explanations for the ways our bodies work and why certain poses affect certain parts the way they do. And there is laughter.
Jess guides the practice, not requiring strict compliance with poses but always encouraging students to listen to their own bodies and do what feels right.
There is a nice flow to the classes, and I have even come to enjoy savasana ( I’m kind of a don’t sit still person). I’ve always been a flexible person, and these yoga classes have helped me maintain that flexibility.
In sum, having a yoga practice with Jess is a bright spot in this insane world, and I think it would benefit anyone to join in.
