A Journey That Started Early
Some of us find yoga later in life. Others feel its pull early, even if they don’t fully understand it yet. Jessica was just 14 when she first found herself on a yoga mat—drawn in by something she couldn’t quite name, but instinctively trusted.
Then life, as it does, moved her in other directions. But yoga was always there, waiting in the wings.
In her early twenties, she returned to the practice—and this time, she stayed.
A Decade of Learning and Evolving
Over the past decade, Jessica’s journey has been anything but surface level. Her path has woven through the rich landscapes of Ashtanga, Hatha, and Shadow yoga, with each tradition deepening her understanding of body, breath and mind.
She didn’t rush into teaching. Instead, she chose a more traditional route—working closely with a mentor, absorbing the nuances of the practice slowly, respectfully. Her earliest teaching experiences came through this personal, lineage-based approach.
In 2018, she formalised her training with a 200-hour qualification through the Yoga and Meditation School of India, followed by a post-grad 150-hour training at Trikaya Yoga, in the tradition of Krishnamacharya. But even now, she sees herself as a lifelong student.
“Yoga is a way of life—a lens to see the world, a constant to return to. And teaching is part of that—it’s how I continue to learn and share the tradition with integrity.”
A Quiet Depth in Every Class
When you practise with Jessica, there’s a quiet depth. Her classes don’t shout. They invite. There’s space to breathe, to learn, to notice. You feel her reverence for the practice—and her belief in your capacity to meet it, just as you are.
One of the things she values most about teaching at Live and Breathe Yoga is the real sense of community.
“It’s rare these days to find a studio that holds to the depth of yoga while nurturing such connection. It’s a gift to be part of this space.”
Jessica’s Advice:
If you’re wondering whether you’re “ready” for yoga or teacher training, Jessica encourages you to trust in the process and not wait for the perfect moment:
“Yoga is a lifelong practice, and the journey is less about waiting for the ‘right time’ and more about showing up, again and again. Growth comes through consistency, not perfection. Whether you’re a student or teacher, the key is to stay committed and trust that each step will guide you forward.”
