bio:

Jessie teaches gentle hatha & restorative yoga in San Francisco. Her mother was her first yoga teacher, around the age of 10, and that introduction to yoga led to a continued exploration of yoga through the years. In 2006, she trained to teach Beginner's Hatha Yoga (with a large emphasis on the gentle Integral Yoga method), through the guidance of Red Door Yoga Co-Owner Jeannie Laslo. In 2008, to continue her studies, she took the Yoga Loft's Advanced Studies/Teacher Training, and she recently took Judith Hanson Lasater's Relax & Renew training. She enthusiastically welcomes new practitioners to yoga & supports the continuation of a yoga practice at any time or phase of one's life, and is in constant awe of how yoga can heal us. Jessie intends to facilitate the experience of yoga, or union, and emphasizes allowing space for the breath, emotions, observing patterns of thought and thus habits of movement, and encouraging overall comfort in the body in its current state. Jessie teaches with care for each student and believes in the power of yoga to facilitate a deep peace and ease of mind, heart, and body.

Caretakers House Yoga Tuesday + Friday & Saturday at the Yoga Loft

Go down to the beach before the tide comes in, & write your worries on the sand. Then watch the ocean come in and wash them away. - Maithri Goonetilleke

in that spirit, i'm reminding you of upcoming yoga classes i'm teaching, in case you can make it.

description: this is different from a regular yoga class, in that you do less poses and hold them for a longer amount of time in a non-strenuous way, all propped up, so the body can relax more deeply... focus is on the breath and gentle opening of places where we hold extra tension and stress... and re-setting, exploring, rejuvenating intentions.
