Certified Yoga Teacher Jessie Franklin
|
Instructor: Jessie Franklin After eight years of working in the fitness industry, both as a personal trainer and an instructor of several different types of fitness classes, Jessie began to look for something deeper and more meaningful, this is when she found yoga. She began her journey seven years ago when she stepped onto a yoga mat for the first time and since then her life has never been the same. Jessie’s powerful classes are infused with light, as spirit merges with self. She encourages students to explore their physical practice with awareness, trust and faith, so that one’s journey may unfold through each breath with ease. Jessie also brings her extensive knowledge of how the body works onto the mat, and thus provides a safe and beneficial class for all. “I am grateful everyday that I am able to bring the light of yoga into people’s lives.” Jessie received her first 200 hour certification for Power Yoga in 2003 and her second 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga certification in 2006. This summer she completed an intensive Naam Yoga Therapy training program to add to her continued yoga studies and has collectively completed over 600 hours of training recognized by Yoga Alliance. In addition, Jessie also carries certification in nutrition. She has over 16 years of experience teaching in group settings and working with individuals on personal physical needs and goals through exercise, yoga, meditation and nutrition. Jessie continues her yogic studies traveling regularly to New York City to attend Naam Yoga Therapy and Harmonyum trainings (www.naamyoga.com) with her teacher, Gurunam. She also plans on attending a yoga training next spring with Baron Baptiste (www.baronbaptiste.com), whom she considers to be her first yoga teacher and to this day is still inspired by the way he brings yoga onto the mat and into people’s lives. |
