Jessica Montgomery
Jessica attended her first yoga class at age 15, and has been studying and practicing since. Jessica loves to infuse her classes with both humor and hard work, while emphasizing proper alignment, strength, and mindful presence in each asana. By inspiring students to expand their possibilities while keeping a close eye on alignment, Jessica both challenges and nurtures each individual student in her class to grow in their practice, at their own unique and perfect pace.
After many years of studying Iyengar yoga with Senior Iyengar teachers, Jessica had a brief 5-year affair with Ashtanga. During this foray into Ashtanga, Jessica discovered previously untapped levels of focus and commitment to her yoga practice. This focus and commitment was then carried back to her first yoga love, the practice of Iyengar Yoga.
In 2001 Jessica completed three years of study at the Iyengar Institute of San Francisco in the rigorous Advances Studies Program, is a certified Iyengar Instructor, an Advanced Relax and Renew Trainer, holds certifications in Yoga for Prenatal and Yoga for Back Care, and has worked for many years as a labor and delivery Doula. Additionally, Jessica is a Personal Chef who specializes in made-to-order healthy meals to support your practice and your life.
She has been teaching public classes since 1999, and private students since 2002.
She looks forward to seeing you in class!
