ABOUT ME


If this is the first time we’re meeting, hello and welcome!

I’m Jess Frischolz, a 200hr CYT obsessed with continuously learning more about yoga so I can deepen my own practice and then guide you in deepening yours. I’ve had my own daily personal practice since 2015 and clichés aside, I can honestly say it changed my life.

In 2021, after 9 years of teaching elementary art, I traded my classroom for a keyboard and began a new career in writing copy for ethical, mindful entrepreneurs and brands who are on a mission to truly do good in this world. While adults and children are certainly different, my teaching (and copywriting!) experience gave me a deeper understanding of how to guide individuals with different needs to help them reach a goal. And as I stepped back into teaching (with yoga this time), these past experiences informed the way I approach guiding my fellow practitioners on the mat.

Now, my goal is to help you cultivate more self-awareness and become more deeply connected to yourself, others, and the world around you. 

My approach to teaching combines aspects of hatha, vinyasa, and viniyoga. I enjoy creating classes that allow you to find a powerful breath and body connection through nuanced movements, whether holding a single pose or flowing within a vinyasa. And even better if we can do it surrounded by nature 🌿

Using the breath to guide each transition and deepen into the poses, our practice together will help you strengthen your body and gain flexibility, sure… But you’ll also feel more refreshed with mental clarity and a sense of calm to face the rest of the day. 

I’m grateful for this opportunity to help you tune into your body, honor where it is today, and take what you need during our practice with you beyond the mat.
