"Jessica was one of my teachers for the RYT Yoga Teacher Training Program in 2011. As a teacher, Jess was a real inspiration to me and one of key people that motivated my connection to the practice. Yoga takes many forms in this country. For some it is physical exercise, for others it is mental rejuvenation, for others still it is a subtle, holistic health practice and a way of connecting with life. Jessica is one of the rare teachers who understands that yoga works on ALL these levels and that people approach yoga with a variety of intentions and very different needs. By giving fully of her expertise and her warmth, Jess connects with her students in a grounded, down-to-earth and genuine way, bringing true benefits to mind and body, making you feel stronger, happier and healed each time you leave her class." ~ Colin P.
"I have taken Jessica's yoga classes at Zen & Yoga in Forest Hills, NY for almost five months on a regular basis. Jessica is an exceptional yoga instructor -- she explains and demonstrates poses very clearly and provides adjustments as needed. Her demeanor is very calm, welcoming and assuring but her classes were always challenging and really focused on performing poses correctly, not just going through the flow, which I believe is extremely important to prevent injuries. In the last class I took with her, one of the last poses was headstand which was initially a very scary thought to me and I'm sure many others in the room. Jessica talked us through the process and broke it down simply so all levels were able to practice the pose in different variations. The experience was challenging and rewarding once it was over but still very safe due to the levels of variations provided. I would definitely recommend Jessica's yoga classes and I really miss her at my studio!" ~ Ashley B.
