Bio

Jessica is a body positive yoga teacher and activist. Her sequences are inspired by a 200-hr Vinyasa training, but she is also heavily influenced by her personal practice of Yin Yoga. She believes that yoga is for all bodies and strives to make her classes accessible to everyone Using methods learned in a 25-hr Yoga for All training, Jessica encourages students to find compassion for themselves in every posture and in every decision on and off the mat. Jessica is currently a student at the NYC based Anatomy Studies for Yoga Teachers, where she hopes to learn tools for a more comprehensive understanding of yoga asana, modification, and injury prevention. Jessica also has a Kids Yoga certification, and regularly teaches youth ages 1-12 years old. Teaching yoga to children allows Jessica to witness the pure joy of movement and the power of play—themes that she loves to incorporate into her adult classes. Jessica is also a part-time engineer and co-founder of My Body Does, an affirming body positive community inspired by the inherent value of all bodies. But mostly, she teaches, practices, sequences, and obsessively talks about yoga.
