My Story.
“Space to practice. Freedom to fall. Balance of grit and grace. Training resilience. Transforming moments. This is Yoga.”
— Jessica Ackerman
Cultivate Fearlessness. Continually challenge your beliefs. Meet your edge. Remove your armor. Step toward the unknown. Do it all with Love. Nothing is promised. But everything is workable.
Yoga is more than your practice on the mat. It’s thriving in life. It’s shining through all the moments- the darkest and the brightest. It’s growing through change and allowing room for all to happen- grief, relief, misery. It’s daring to dive into radical self-inquiry and know that this is where courage resides. It’s connecting with others and showing up. In all the ways. Always. It’s messy and scary and wobbly...and it builds strength and resilience and wholeness.
This is yoga.

YOGA
Holding me up in so many ways, for so many years. This practice is so far beyond the poses... all the trust, surrender, focus, discipline, awareness, breath, spaciousness, freedom, synchronicity, and Love. ️ Being in it.
“Yoga is more than the pose. Yoga is your mind. Yoga is your breath. Yoga is practicing being present and focused on what you are doing right now. Yoga is being challenged to your edge. And then breathing right there.”
On healing through yoga — Jessica Ackerman, RYT
Power Yoga is for everyBODY. Power because we are empowered to show up and do the work. You don’t need to be flexible, or to look a certain way, or even to know what to do. All you need is a willingness to step on your mat and practice. If you do, goodness will follow.

WHY Yoga & Meditation are so Transformational…
Research is widely accepted that breath-based yoga practices and mindfulness meditation reduce stress, anxiety, illness, and overall medical costs; and promote healing, health, and wellness through improved sleep, weight management, stress reduction, immune system, and overall health.
My professional background is in healthcare, as a speech-language pathologist and independent patient advocate. I am a yoga and meditation teacher, and I have trained as a competitive athlete all my life. I have incorporated the skilled practices employed across communication therapy, neurology specialty, counseling, yoga, meditation, and breath training to reach people where they are and bring them where they want to be, optimizing health and functional performance in training for life.
