Yoga with Jess

“Yoga” denotes a state of union, which we can explore in terms of joining or uniting our breath with our movements, our mind with our physical body, or even our intentions with any number of outcomes. The practise invites us to connect with ourselves, with those whose experiences can help us on our own journeys, and with the community in which we live or feel connected to.

Join Jessica this winter for an opportunity to reconnect on so many levels: to explore and improve your awareness; your day-to-day posture and mobility, strength, coordination and focus; and hopefully, your sense of belonging – both in your own body and in the wider world. February sessions will focus on discovering your current baseline, affirming foundations, and negotiating transitions with ease and grace. The practise can be adapted for any injuries. All levels are welcome!
