"Let’s Jess Be Here LLC" is a personal reflection of my heartfelt dedication to yoga and mindfulness.

My Yoga and wellness journey began at the age of seventeen in a high school class. Initially hesitant, this experience sparked a love for yoga that transformed me into an enthusiastic student and eventually into a dedicated teacher. By 2013, yoga had become a cherished part of my life, offering me peace, compassion, and a sense of belonging.

In 2017, I completed my first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program, which launched my teaching career. In 2020, I became a certified breath coach and completed a 300 Hour Advanced Teacher Training Program.

Since beginning my career, I have offered a wide range of experiences across South Shore, Massachusetts, including studio classes, corporate team building, yoga programs in schools, Full Moon celebrations, and Earth Day park cleanups. I have also led workshops for sports teams, prenatal classes, addiction recovery classes, events for couples, bridal parties, and bachelorettes, alongside family yoga, meditation classes, holiday-themed sessions, yoga with live music, Goat Yoga, and more—continually exploring new ways to share my love for the sacred practices of Yoga with my community.

My role extends beyond yoga teaching, as I am deeply committed to advocacy, including addiction recovery and volunteering for causes like LGBTQ+ events. As a therapeutic mentor, I supported children and teens in developing mindfulness and coping skills. My involvement with CAIPA and the Disability Law Center of Massachusetts allows me to promote ethical care. Additionally, my donation-based classes have raised substantial funds for causes close to my heart, such as mental health advocacy and resources for the unhoused.

I have also cultivated a warm network of private clients, customizing all my classes to meet varied needs.

In 2024, I began leading my own yoga retreats both domestically and internationally through my LLC, “Let’s Jess Be Here.”

My teaching style allows students to unfold limitations in both their body and mind while providing a space for them to feel a sense of peace within. I weave the philosophy of yoga throughout my classes, applying ancient wisdom to our western world in a useful and understandable way.

With gratitude,
