Jessica Lesley

Personable, reliable, and accessible to those new to yoga, as well as, providing challenging sequences for those with an existing practice. Over five years of administrative experience in a corporate setting, applying this same level of professionalism to yoga. Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills. In depth knowledge of muscle groups as a group fitness instructor with understanding of how to work with injuries prone to athletes. Trained to create a learning environment from both a rejuvenating yogic perspective or challenging fitness perspective. Focused, forward thinking, multi-disciplined and able to meet students where they are. Born asthmatic, she was faced with many physical limitations and was advised by Doctors not participate in sports or even play outside. As an adult she made the commitment to no longer submit to limitations set by others and began her athletic career as a fitness instructor. After several years of pushing too hard in the gym she was blessed to begin her yogic journey studying with Kelly Wood at Karuna Yoga in Los Feliz. From there she went on to study and become certified to teach children's yoga through Hi Yogaâ„¢. Knowing the physical and mental health benefits of yoga, Jessica is eager to introduce this practice to our youth.
