Jessica Richmond is a down to earth laughter filled girl adding her soft comical nature to all of life’s misperceived negatives. Jessica started teaching yoga in 2010 after completing her first teacher training at Garden Street School of Yoga. She is a Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher E-RYT 200, RYT 500, and RPYT.

Yoga became her main focus after the emergency C-Section birth of her daughter in 2006. The surgery was intense and recovery was brutal, she also struggled to stay afloat surfing thru the heavy waves of postpartum depression. She began to wake up and search for a mindful and safe way to connect with her true self, body, and mind. For her yoga was her saving grace as she rebuilt her physical, mental and emotional self. That trauma laden experience, now considered a massive blessing instilled a fire deep within her and without those sad fear filled lost moments from her past she would not be shining today giving back to her community.

In 2011 she healed so much of her first birth’s story inviting a son into the world via unmedicated VBAC with her midwife and doula by her side. Completing a Dona Doula training herself in 2012. She created a unique niche for herself and in 2013 as she became certified in Prenatal Yoga and Early Postpartum Instruction RPYS trained under Colette Crawford of The Seattle Holistic Center. She completed an additional 300 hour advanced Power Vinyasa teacher training for the month of October 2014 in Bali, Indonesia. She is a dedicated student of meditation and knows this is the place that softens the pain of the human experience, gives clarity to confusion and the place that births so much magic as she continues to create and expand her passion.

This is the first step in creating your most authentic true self, being aware of what you want to shift.
