Jesse has studied with masters of Ashtanga, Kundalini, Vinyasa, Yin, and Integral Yoga. He continues studying to deepen his practice and understanding, inspired by teachers including Jonny Kest, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Swami Satchitananda. Jesse holds an E-RYT 500 certification, as well as operating The Grateful Yoga Registered Yoga School for teacher training. On the mat he brings experience, vibrancy, and a sense of gentle ease to his practice. Often offering the art of vulnerability as a means to freedom, strength, and empowerment; Jesse leads his classes through creative, breath-guided flows that draw out a full range of motion and emotion, always leaving everyone smiling(and maybe crying a little too). He shares yoga as a life practice and the pathway to a renewed sense of awe, understanding, gratitude, and acceptance, as well as the opportunity for us to live our lives on purpose. He has been practicing and teaching since 2002, and continues to spread a message of humility, love, and intentional grace; strengthening communities around the world.
