Jessica Gannon

program manager

Over the last 11 years, Jessica has developed a passion for working with first responders through her career as an exercise physiologist in which she provided annual wellness screenings and education to first responders in the Saint Louis area. During that time, Jessica came across Yoga For First Responders and thought it would be a fantastic opportunity to meld her love of yoga with her work in health care. Jessica became trained as a YFFR level II instructor in October of 2018 and a 200 hr RYT in December 2019. After welcoming her first baby Owen in July 2020, Jessica decided to stay home while maintaining her work with YFFR a couple of days a week. She also started working for the organization as a Program Manager, helping to bring YFFR to agencies all over the country. After welcoming her second baby, Tess, to the family, Jess returned to YFFR as Program Director. 

In addition to her passion to teaching yoga to first responders, she also loves traveling with her husband and children. They love going to Mexico and try to go twice a year when possible. Jess hopes to travel the world and expose her children to as many cultures as she can.
