After graduating from university in 2009, Jess decided to pursue her love of travel, life and spirituality while studying yoga practices around the world. In Kerala, India, Jessica earned her 200-hour yoga certification from the Tulasidalam School of Yoga.  Her training emphasized and taught her the importance of meditation and Pranayama as integral components to yogic practice.  As a result, her yoga classes host a variety of teaching elements and established sequences which highlight detoxification of the body and the mind in order to achieve higher consciousness. Inspired by her studies in India, she then pursued her 500-hour training certification at Ishta Yoga in New York City under the guidance of Alan Finger. After practicing her skills as an instructor and yogic retreat organizer in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Jessica returned to further her education in therapeutics at Integrated Yoga Therapy at Kripalu in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, where yoga is uniquely tailored to each individual and their experience.

Jessica has lived on six continents in order to experience and explore life from every angle. From the ashrams of India washing her clothes in a bucket, to living in a shipping container in Costa Rica, and life on a vineyard in Tuscany, Jessica has a deep thirst for travel, adventure, and life. Jessica has practiced and studied yoga throughout India, England, Spain, Singapore, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. She hopes to bring everything she has learned from around the world to her yoga studio.
