It has taught her about both literal and conceptual balance. Her yoga practices also help support her long-distance endurance running, surfing and recreational freediving.

The benefits of yoga are immense and are individual-specific, but outlined below are several general benefits:

Improves strength, flexibility and stability.
Promotes body and breath awareness.
Creates stronger focus.
Increase self-esteem and happiness.
Promotes relaxation and helps elevate stress.
Helps with digestion.
Encourages better sleep.
Yoga is a fantastic sport to support other exercises and sports. It has been used by several professional athletes to enhance their performance.
And the list continues...

The classes at The Core Concept are movement-focused. As a western-instructor, Jess sees herself as a movement-facilitator. While Jess honors and understands the history and origin of yoga's roots, Jess ques and instructors from a "modernised" perspective. She creates a space that does not impose on one's spiritual or holistic practices; rather, The Core Concept is an all inclusive and welcoming studio.

CLIENTS

"Jess is such a knowledgeable teacher who mentors you through poses. She offers a wealth of knowledge during the practice and helps you understand your own body. She has helped me discover my strength and my bodies capabilities. Even in a group setting you can feel such one on one attention but I also highly recommend taking private classes with her as you can learn what works for you and how to grow your individual practice. Also, her energy is contagious! This girl is awesome!"

"Jess has an energy that will make you feel incredibly safe and supported from the moment you step onto your mat. She has the beautiful ability to balance effort and surrender through her sequencing, and creates a space where you’re encouraged to challenge your beliefs about what your body, mind and spirit are truly capable of."

- SHAUN WILLIAMS

"I LOVE Jess' yoga classes! At the end of each class I feel relaxed and proud for taking the time to focus on my own wellbeing. Jess is both professional and high energy while offering a variety of low and high impact sessions. I was definitely challenged, but have noticed my strength improving over time. I'm excited to train with Jess in the future, as she has been an essential part of my yoga journey. "
