Jess Copley
Stepping onto my mat is like coming home. It is that safe space, a sanctuary where I can move, breathe, and heal. In 2005 when I began yoga it was solely for the physical aspect and how it benefited my dance practice. I began learning about the breath and the life force of the practice of yoga and it became so much more. As an instructor I hope to guide us through a dance that breathes into our soul. I am so excited to share this journey with you.
