Jessica Clark, RYT 500
Jessica’s yoga journey began almost 10 years ago in Washington D.C., when a friend from work invited her to a power vinyasa class. Craving a return to the basics and to re-establish her mind-body connection, she agreed to go. She went back the next day, and then the day after that, and by the end of that first week of practicing regularly she was hooked. Yoga gave her everything she was looking for, and then some - she quickly established a regular power Vinyasa practice, which has since branched out to include multiple styles, including VinYin, Hot 26 + 2 (Bikram), Yin, and Restorative yoga. Jessica also practices meditation and breathwork regularly, and loves any opportunity to sit still and go inward.
Jessica believes in the healing and transformative power of a consistent yoga practice - that every practice provides the chance for the student to reach a new level of healing and personal growth, and she finds such joy in sharing her love of yoga with her students and helping them reach their goals.

Jenny Klinetob, RYT 500
Jenny’s yoga journey began after a 9-year career in Track & Field when she took her first Bikram Yoga class. She soon transitioned into Vinyasa yoga, then Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra. She appreciates the slower practices for their moments of stillness and the opportunity to feel connected to true purpose and true self. “As a long-time athlete and fast-paced person, slowing it down really allows my body to decompress from the heaviness of everyday life,” she says.
In Jenny’s classes, you can expect to learn values and principles of yoga while exploring a deep connection to community and self. Each class is a journey within and a journey forward.
