“I am a Jiu Jitsu Black Belt and competitor/fighter. I started practicing yoga with Jess to gain more strength and flexibility to deal with my ridged routine. Her classes are a great pace and a lot of care is given to your level and threshold. Every class is planned and meticulously thought through. I could always feel myself improving by leaps and bounds as the weeks went by. Not only physically but mentally. I have even used the class as a form of Physical therapy after receiving a substantial shoulder/chest injury through competition. We have also become friends through our classes together. You won’t find a kinder more gentle person to have in your life. I would Highly recommend these classes to all levels and backgrounds. I feel it has been extremely beneficial in all aspects of my life.””

“I had the immense pleasure of leading Jess through her first 200 hour yoga teacher training. She was a natural from the start. Jess has a very nurturing and compassionate way about her that effortlessly translates into her teaching. Students leave Jess’s class feeling held and seen. She strikes the balance between challenging, and oh so relaxing.”

“I absolutely love taking Jess’s yoga classes! I have taken her classes a handful of times now and always leave feeling re-energized, relaxed and stress free. When taking Jess’s class I don’t feel any pressure or out of place if I’m unable to achieve a certain pose, she makes her classes so that all levels of yoga students can enjoy and gives multiple options for certain poses that are easier/ more difficult. Overall I highly recommend taking any of Jess’s yoga classes her energy and spirit is amazing and you’ll truly have a great experience with Jess as your instructor.”

“Jess makes yoga so accessible and attainable for anyone. I was shocked at how her online yoga class would leave me feeling great, and quite sore the next day! I have done other yoga videos, but they never challenge me the way that Jess' class does. It's not about getting a "work out", but listening to your body and going at your own pace. There were challenging moments in her class, but it always felt well balanced. Yoga with Jess is the highlight of my week! Jess is SO down to earth that she is totally understanding that my toddler is running around all over the place, in the zoom video. She is just so supportive, and wants me to be there and practice yoga, and this makes it possible to fit yoga into my life again. “
