Yoga first found Jessie in college when she was lost in the daily grind and seeking deeper meaning. Her first yoga experience was a Restorative Class in the basement of the Temple of Kriya Yoga to the sounds of Tibetan singing bowls and the slow sweet resonance of the "Om Namah Shivaya" mantra sung by her teacher. By the end of that class, she was transformed and vowed to bring the healing and self-actualization potential she experienced to as many people as she could through yogic practices. She became a Certified Yoga Teacher in 2010, lived at an ashram for two years teaching yoga, meditation and pranayama to visitors and guests, and has taught yoga in studios, on horseback, at retreat centers, in haylofts, basements, and the backcountry since that time.
Seeking a better way to support her many students presenting with physical limitations, she returned to school to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2016 and now incorporates yogic principles into her integrative medical practice specializing in Frequency Medicine, HeartMath and Manual Therapies in Niwot, CO. She conducted her graduate research project, a randomized controlled trial on the effects of pranayama (breathing) on Chronic Low Back Pain (access those resources for free, here!). Jessie sees herself as a bridge: her passion is drawing from the ancient practices to weave into our modern understanding of the human energy system, bringing her clients into an embodiment of their innate wholeness. Classes are heart-centered, emphasize anatomical precision and are often accompanied by healing frequencies in the form of sound, vibration or PEMF.
