Jessica has been practicing yoga since 2010, but her practice took on a whole new meaning when she made the decision to stop drinking alcohol in 2018. Yoga has been a healer and an anchor for her since then, when in need of grounding and inner peace. Yoga helped Jessica begin to shift from a cycle of unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, to one of honoring mind, body and soul. Finally able to connect with my true Self and the Divine, both in and out of the yoga studio.
In the Fall of 2023, Jessica woke up from a deep sleep at 4am with a clear, inner-knowing message: To sign up for yoga teacher training. In April 2024, she completed her 200-hour YTT certification with Peace, Love and Yoga, which had been her one and only studio since moving from Boston to Oceanside in 2021. PLAY was much more than just a yoga studio. Jessica found connection with amazing people and a community she instantly felt welcomed into. The training gave her everything she was hoping for: a deeper knowledge of yoga as a way of life, the sutras and philosophies, fine-tuning practice and alignment, the beautiful Sanskrit language, and reaffirmed what she had already come to realize: that being of service to others is one of the most important aspects of life. Jessica continued into the Hot Flow Mentorship January of 2025 with its incredible owner, Monique. As she began to teach, everything felt so right and in alignment and she knew she was doing exactly what she was meant to do.
Just like Jessica’s own journey, she understands that everyone comes to yoga for different reasons, at many different stages of life. Her hope is that she can share the magic and healing that she found in yoga with others. In her classes, she uses music to intentionally create a space and energy that will help yogis sink into a place of moving meditation. A sanctuary where they can retreat to within themselves.
Jessica is a lover of animals, worldly music, dancing, hiking through forests and to mountain tops, volunteering and is always dreaming of her next adventure. She looks forward to seeing you in one of her classes!
