Jessica Okaty

Jessica Okaty is a teacher at heart, as she loves gaining and sharing knowledge. She has taught many age groups ranging from early childhood development classes at Gymboree Play & Music to Ecology of South Florida at Florida International University. She currently teaches 6^th grade science and reading at Keys Gate Charter School and Yoga at Key Largo Yoga.  Jessica’s love of learning has led her to obtain both a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and a Master of Science degree in Environmental Studies. She has many interests such as music, dance, reading, food, travel, and nature. She added yoga to that list in 2005 when she took a course with Andrea Seidel at FIU and it has remained an important part of her life ever since. She quickly found yoga was a way to increase her physical and mental health, as it helped heal whiplash injuries acquired from a car accident in 2004 and relieve stress and anxiety. Yoga also inspires her to live each moment more fully. She enjoys sharing how yoga helps deepen connections between mind, body, soul, and universe.  She completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Kathy Shirley in 2015 and enjoys being a part of the Key Largo Yoga community.  You can find her sharing her love of yoga at a gentle or open level Vinyasa class and following her yoga adventure on Instagram @ecoyogi.
