Jessica Powers - Studio, Beach & SUP Yoga Instructor

Jessica stumbled upon a Baron Baptiste DVD at a yard sale over a decade ago, and immediately fell in love with the physical practice of yoga.

Jessica’s goal is to create a moment in which all bodies will feel comfortable to move and breathe. She enjoys teaching the 8 limbs of yoga through the physical practice, and helping others to find the peaceful power that she has found through her yoga practice.
