Yoga at The Studio Space

Jess founded Soulful Surrender Yoga in 2023. She received her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training from Jai Yoga School in 2022. She is gifted in teaching Restorative yoga, with lots of props and support, she eases you into deep relaxation. 

Jess is a Greenville alumni, who first discovered her love of yoga while living in Denver, Colorado. She walked into a yoga studio with a generational assumption that yoga was merely a flow of rigorous stretches. To her dismay, this class was just the opposite as she laid comfortably on her mat with an array of pillows, blankets, surrounded by luminous sounds and smells. For the first time ever, she was able to r-e-l-a-x in a public setting, and this feeling continued to carry on outside of the studio walls. From this point on, Jess gained a passion for Restorative Yoga, growing eager to help others discover its magically zenful powers. 

After earning her MSEd in School Counseling in 2021, Jess began pursuing her 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training from Jai Yoga School, in addition to her Reiki Level I Certification, which is a Japanese form of Energy Healing through gentle touch. After graduating from the Jai Yoga School in June of 2022, she began practicing yoga with her students from grades PreK-6, as an effort to support mental health needs and an overall feeling of belongingness within her school community. In March of 2023, Jess began teaching at Catskill Valley Chiropractic: A Center for Wellness under The Bhatki Room, and then founded the Soulful Surrender Yoga Practice in December of 2023. 

Yoga is described as a holistic practice that focuses on uniting the mind, body, and spirit. There will be days you may want more of a challenge for your body, or simply a space to unplug your mind and breath. Jess is a flexible-thinker with an open-heart who is ready to support you through your journey; whatever that may look like. She strives to create a safe place for all to enjoy and feel welcome, while also providing comedic relief as rights and lefts may sometimes get confused.

Come join Jess for Tuesday Flows at 6p and a biweekly Restorative at 7p.
