Jessica is a certified yoga teacher with a master’s degree in mindfulness studies. As a full-time high school English teacher, Jessica felt called to pursue her yoga teaching certification not only to deepen her personal practice, but she was inspired to bring yoga and mindfulness into the classroom to support her students. Her goal is to create a safe environment for all beings to feel empowered on and off the mat. With a strong focus on alignment, she curates yoga sequences that will help students create space in their minds and bodies while deepening their internal connections. Jessica will encourage you to find balance between rigor and rest while having some fun along the way. Born and raised in Chicago, Jessica is eager to continue her teaching in the PNW and to cultivate a sense of community for all.
