My story

 

In my early twenties I was loving London life to some extent, but I was living a life that was incredibly hectic and out of balance. I felt tremendous pressure to find my career path and to answer all of societies demands. My anxiety and stress levels were increasing and I developed a terrible sleeping disorder that started when I was around 20 years old until my mid-late twenties.

During this time a shoulder injury brought me to the physical yoga practice and simultaneously I had begun a meditation practice out of curiosity. With my sleep not very good at all and my anxiety increasing I decided to fully commit to my yoga and mediation practice alongside a CBT course for my insomnia. My yoga and meditation practice immediately resonated with me and had profound affects on my mental health. It was the first time I realised I was ok and pretty content underneath these spiralling thoughts and that I could have greater control over my mind and situation. I had dipped my toe into the magic of yoga and I was ready for more.

My personal practice of yoga, meditation, self-enquiry alongside the studying of ancient wisdom and the influence of many many people in the self-development and coaching realm life changing internal shifts began to happen. I started to feel more grounded in the uncertain and anxious times and felt more connected to myself. My outlook on life started to change and I began to manage my life better. My daily practice helps me to live a happier and fuller life, one where I’m more content, conscious and brave. Through my experience I wish to help others find this for themselves and to elevate them from the core of their being; like I’ve been elevated from mine.

“Thanks to Jess I’m mentally and physically stronger today than I could ever have imagined!

Her classes are uplifting not just for the body, but challenges and calms the mind too. She starts her classes with a short meditation, and an interpretation of an idea from yoga philosophy. She is great at bringing in what seems like a difficult idea and turning it into something you can benefit from throughout the day. The mood of her class is always positive, self-loving than self-critical. You’d want to come back time and time again. Jess makes it easier for you to have a consistent yoga practice!”
