Jess Perry

Jessica was born in California. After migrating from there to Colorado, she came to NYC five years ago seeking expression for her interest in holistic wellness. She worked as a personal trainer and began to explore other avenues of health and wellness with the objective of helping people realize the mind-body connection. Her attraction to yoga blossomed when she found the Jivamukti method. Jivamukti deepened her understanding of the mind-body relationship and added a spiritual component that her life was missing. Through the asana practice she has been able to make room in her body, her heart, and her mind to contemplate the teachings, and seek the grace to apply them. She feels that her responsibility as a teacher is to create the same opportunity for others by offering the same direct, practical instruction that was provided for her by her beloved teachers. She is a certified Jivamukti teacher and is currently under the guidance of her dear mentor, the remarkable Ruth Lauer Manenti. She is sincerely grateful to be part of Jivamukti New York. The students, staff, and her fellow teachers truly make the center a thriving force for positive change in the world.
