Hi, I’m Jessica!
I am a 500 RYT based in Austin, Texas with Reiki certification. I did my 200hr training at Daya Yoga in Brooklyn and my 300hr training at Wild Heart Yoga in Austin. I offer yin, vinyasa, slow flow, beginner’s yoga, and restorative.
Yoga is everything in my life: a leader, teacher, safety net, comfort, friend, anchor, life raft, home. I love to share this practice!!
When I’m not on my mat, you can find me in a park or in water somewhere with my golden retriever, Lucy.
I moved from Brooklyn back to my hometown of Austin Texas in 2025 for a 300 hour training at Wild Heart, where my practice began and where I now teach. I hope you’ll join me for a class in this space, it is a gift to teach there!
I started Austin Yoga Club in April 2026, and it is an offering straight from my heart and roots! We listen to Austin musicians while practicing yoga in some of the best spots in town.
I hope we get a chance to connect! Find me online at @jesshowulikeit.
my story
I took my first yoga class in middle school - hot Bikram with my father. Needless to say, I did not return to the practice until my first year at NYU, in 2007. For a while, I approached the practice inconsistently as a workout. My yoga practice really started in 2018, when I found myself at Wild Heart Yoga.
My marriage ended. I felt empty, I was lost. I attended a yoga class and something stirred inside. For a moment, I didn’t hate myself. I even felt alive again. I have been practicing and studying yoga ever since, and started teaching in 2023.
