After developing a strong personal practice over about 10 years, Jessica underwent through a transformative experience of 200-hour teacher training. Since completing her training, she has taught in several libraries and studios, and have been teaching several types of yoga including basics, power yoga, restorative, and mommy and me classes. By teaching yoga, she is constantly reminded that if we are open, we are all always students. Through teaching she hopes to build mindfulness, compassion and strength in students as she learns new ways to cultivate these in herself. Jessica's style of teaching is meditative and encouraging, with a focus on alignment, awareness, and breath as we move through interesting poses or transitions. Connecting with students is as important to her as connecting with herself, and learning with them is as exciting for her as it is for them. When I'm not teaching or doing yoga, I am doing neuroscience research, playing with my kids, or eating/cooking/thinking about food.
