Hi! I’m Jess…

I'm a coconut glutton, lover of fruit, sand between my toes, and a well-written book. I'm a teacher. Of yoga. Of life. I'm an explorer and magic finder. Join me as I search for the hidden treasures and lessons of my every day life.

If you haven’t said this to your body yet today, say it now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Say it like a prayer. Like a love note to your soulmate. Like a mother’s whisper to their child. Like a child’s whisper to their mother. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Both tender and fierce. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What wonders we can make if we send love to all that is struggling or suffering instead of adding to its struggle or ignoring its suffering. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Your health relies on the choices you make each moment. Choose with the future you in mind. ✨#lovenotes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is my current mantra. intention. My sankalpa. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Each moment when I want to do something based on emotions or fears or avoidance or attachment, I instead remind myself of this sankalpa and move from there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sankalpas have truly led my life. The challenge is remembering them in the moments when you’re reacting! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In creating a sankolpa it’s helpful to ask yourself: ‘What does my life need right now for me to feel my fullest and most vibrant?’ Sometimes the answer to that is ‘alone time’ or ‘more sleep’ and the sankalpa for those could be ‘spending 20 minutes alone is the most important thing I can do today for all those around me’ or ‘sleep vitalizes me and I choose to sleep 8 hours every night’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know if you create your own sankalpa ☺️☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sankalpa #yogatherapy #intention #yoga

Have you seen my pelvic floor 101 video yet?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This little 50 minute lecture and yoga practice is an intro to all things pelvic floor ✨ It’s a little piece of my heart - a product of research, working with clients, and exploring my own pelvic floor dysfunctions to find what brings about feelings of embodiment, strength, and ease. 🔗 link in bio 💻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... if you wanna skip right to the yoga practice - jump to minute 19 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And if you wanna see me in person, I’m teaching TWICE tomorrow (Monday) @epicyogadc Peak Pose • 6:00pm Warm Honey Flow • 7:30pm

#FridayMood #sageyourlife

Spent yesterday morning doing a whole lotta this ⬆️ #glorious ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Legs up the wall feel so damn good for a gazillion reasons. And my favorite reason is the effects it has on the heart. The heart has to pump forcefully enough for the blood to go throughout the whole body and return to the heart - fighting gravity the whole way. With legs up the wall the heart doesn’t have to be as forceful because gravity is working too... bringing blood back to the heart with more ease. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let your heart chill for a minute (or 5). And notice how your breathing changes. Notice of tension seems to slip away gently. Let your belly soften and your breath be full and wide. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Xo

Morning rituals. I struggle with keeping them even though they keep me balanced and centered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like really. I can’t keep routines for the life of me. I’m like a kid in a candy shop - oh so excited to try everything and then I end up feeling like crap. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But my favorite morning ritual is a long one 😅 and looks something like this: Hot water with lemon Coffee Reading or tarot card pulling Yummy breakfast Walking my pups with a podcast Yoga ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is like a whole 1.5-2 hour situation 😅 but the days when I can do all of this with ease are the days I feel most productive and most healthy. #babysteps
