yoga & meditation
I teach a syncretic yoga practice derived from 20 years of study of Hatha Yoga, Kundalini, and Vinyasa. I have a BA in Theatrical Performance from UMass Amherst and an MFA in Creative Writing/Poetry from Southern CT State University — my love of storytelling inspires my conversational approach to teaching; each class is a variation on a monthly or seasonal theme inspired by the intersection of nature, pop culture, and esoteric theory.

"Jess guides each and every class with love, compassion, and an open heart. Her knowledge of anatomy and physiology is unmatched, making her classes fun, accessible, and safe for all. What makes her classes truly memorable is her ability to display both a sense of humor and a groundedness, allowing all to feel always supported and never judged. "
