| Jessica began practicing Yoga asana
in New York in 1999 at the Jivamukti studio. A dancer for
fifteen years, she has also studied Alexander Technique
on a ongoing basis. An actress by profession, she moved
to Toronto two years ago and began practicing at YogaSpace.
It was here that she was inspired to delve more deeply into
Yoga as a way of life and entered the Yoga Teacher Training
program. Working intensely with Kathryn Beet throughout
the year, she became particularly interested in, and deeply
fulfilled by her training in Therapeutic Yoga, a practice
that moves through a series of restorative postures accompanied
by massage, reflexology, reiki and pure essential oils,
drawing the practitioner deeply inwards physically, mentally
and spiritually. Passionate and committed to this work,
she has been instrumental in it's development. To further
enhance her skills, she enrolled in the Restorative Teacher
Training program with Hali Schwartz.
Her introduction to Yoga, having been Vinyasa, Jessica has
found much value in the process of slowing down and taking
time in the postures. It is this that she is inspired and
committed to sharing with others on personal healing journeys.
Her compassion, creativity, courage, sensitivity and deep
commitment to the practice has made her a teacher that students
return to time and time again for the particular healing
her classes offer.
Jessica's unique Therapeutic/Restorative Flow class is one
in which the principles of both Restorative and Therapeutic
Yoga are combined to create a deeply healing experience.
One not to be missed.
