Testimonials

“Jessica is a quality instructor. It’s clear from the first class that she cares about her students. She offers a challenge but is ready with an assist or an alternative pose depending what is called for. Above all she is patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!” –Charles Alkire of Massage by Charles

“What i like about Yoga Story classes is how it makes me feel physically and mentally. I feel as though I’m doing something for mind and body that refreshes, exercises and makes stronger. I enjoy ALL aspects of this class, and how you adapt practice specifically for your audience! I feel challenged yet empowered!”

Felt amazing today to be in a yoga class. Instructor was attentive to my health concerns and gave me alternative poses. Class was relaxing and I was surprised how many verbal cues helped me fix my positions to get more out of my stretches. Grateful for such an amazing and knowledgeable instructor who cares for her clients! — H. Berg
