Yoga Instructor
Meet Jacqueline
I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga for over a decade, and my journey has been deeply shaped by both personal experience and formal training. I traveled to Costa Rica to study with the Marianne Wells Yoga School, where I fell in love with Really Real Yoga®—a practice rooted in authenticity, self-awareness, and care.
As an elementary school teacher, long distance runner, and busy mom of two young children, I understand firsthand how essential it is to create space to slow down and reconnect. Yoga has been my anchor through the demands of daily life, and I’m passionate about sharing its benefits with others.
Each class I offer is an invitation to turn inward, move mindfully, and nourish both body and mind. My classes are welcoming and accessible to all levels, creating space for you to show up just as you are.
