Jessica, RYT 200, has over four years of teaching experience. She has been practicing yoga and meditation for about 10 years. Her classes invite playfulness and intuitive movement; they also provide opportunities to deepen a philosophical and somatic appreciation of yoga. 

She is a recent graduate of the Applied Ethics masters program at Oregon State University, where she centered her research on contemplative ethical frameworks in support of eco-conscious tourism. She also provides administrative support for the Contemplative Studies Initiative in addition to teaching at Marigold. Alongside these academic and professional pursuits, Jessica appreciates sustainable travel, discovering waterfalls, taming houseplants, and networking with wonderful people.
