“I didn’t start yoga until I was 55. After a recommendation from a friend, I started classes at BYP and met Jessica. A few months later I joined her on a retreat upstate. There are many positive things I can share about my experience working with her in groups and in private sessions, but suffice to say that she has helped me gain confidence and a deeper understanding of the benefits of yoga. She is a remarkable teacher with limitless patience and I can’t imagine developing my practice with anyone else.”

“I have been practicing yoga with Jessica since 2016, and have been on two of her retreats. Her class is my favorite because each session is different, and challenging in new ways. Her style can be funny and silly, taking the stress and self-seriousness away from a practice that can otherwise be intimidating, but she also allows her students to explore their practice, and go further with their bodies and minds. Her class has been, for me, a place to expand in all ways. I'm so glad I've had the chance to learn yoga with her.”

“I've been practicing yoga for over ten years and have never had a teacher like Jess. She is so knowledgable and thoughtful about the practice. I never can anticipate where her sequences will go which keeps me present during her classes. Now that I can't take her classes in person, I've been doing private sessions which has been so therapeutic for my body since I am pregnant. My mom who is a complete beginner even joined and Jess is amazing at accommodating both of our needs in the sessions. Working with Jess is truly a highlight of my week!”

“Going to a yoga class taught by Jess is the highlight of my week, I know I will be surprised, I will be challenged, I will discover something new about my body and my practice, every single time. She opens her book, adds some inspiration of the day, takes the vibration of the room and will never do the same class twice.  Last but not least, yoga is always fun with Jess, no drama or being too serious, it is just moments of fun exploration!”

— Julie C.

“Jess is 100% the best yoga teacher I’ve ever had. She makes such a fun safe space to try new moves and push yourself. I learn something new every time! Plus she always makes people giggle in class and it’s just delightful.”

— Madeline H.

“I've been taking yoga with Jess for five years, and I do not exaggerate when I report that not once in that time has she repeated a class. She is an endlessly creative teacher who brings out the best in even those most inflexible students. Her classes are moving, sometimes even transformative—the feeling of release is extraordinary. Her guidance as a teacher is excellent, so that you never feel hurried or lost but you're always pushing yourself. Most importantly, she is a warm, open, fun person who I recommend to ALL my friends.” 

— Hannah J.

“Jessica has a gift, and her classes are the offering of that gift. She is deeply knowledgable about the body, as well as connected to the spiritual. She moves us through an hour as if it were choreographed, one pose building on the next. It's a pleasure to spend an hour with her, and at the end of each I feel transformed.”

— Nick F.

"I've been taking various styles of yoga with many teachers for around 14 years and Jess is my favorite. Her style is crystal clear, her flows are thoughtful, and her classes tend to surprise me with how deep they work on my body. I actually think Jess and her classes epitomize how I strive to be in life--free and accepting of the mind and unified with the physical, where all of it is supported with a relaxed joy. Needless to say, I recommend Jess and Wild Heart Yoga. More, please!"

— Emily S.

“A class with Jess is always fun, a lil funky and supremely freeing. She helped me through some weird postpartum body situations in our semi-private sessions. I find myself regularly bringing her wisdom (and unconventional block placements!) to my practice. She's legit the best!”

— Mikala B.

“I’ve been doing yoga with Jess for almost four years and I don’t think any two classes have been the same, which is to say that you will always have something new to look forward to. Jess is an incredible instructor, who is firm but also gentle in her approach. She guides students–through poses and movements they didn’t even know existed–with such clarity. Her classes will challenge you (in a positive way), but they will never be serious, because Jess has a wonderful lighthearted approach to yoga.”

— Mary H.

“I started taking private lessons with Jess because I had started taking group yoga classes as a new form of exercise and realized I had no idea what I was doing. Jess is an incredibly gifted, spirited, inventive, playful, spontaneous, and thoughtful teacher. When we started working together, I was always in a rush, and Jess helped me to slow down, teaching me proper form, technique, and how to connect to my breath and body in a meaningful way. Every class with Jess is a gift. She is down to earth, no frills, and funny. I recommend her highly!”
