Hi friend! I'm Jess Palmer, a scientist-turned-yogi, creator of The Yogic Body, and owner of The Yogic Body Studio. It feels like only yesterday when I was introduced to yoga while studying for my degree in Biology. For several years, I worked as a cancer researcher but my mind was always busy with dreams of becoming a full time yoga teacher! Ultimately, the creation of The Yogic Body came through crisis...
After losing my mother-in-law to terminal cancer, I decided to fully dedicate myself to wellness through yoga. Now I help women just like you and me who have battled with anxiety and are curious about the benefits of yoga! I urge you to join me. Consider me your coach and your confidant, advocating for you to cultivate your yogic body - united with a sound mind, a backbone, and a say in how you live your life!
I'm Jessica Palmer and most days you can find me cleaning dog hair off my hardwood floors before laying out my yoga mat!
Mostly, I'm known for cuddling my mastiff well past the alarm, dozing off at the end of my yoga practice, and hanging fairy lights in every room of my house. I am crazy in love with apple fritters and am still searching for the perfect mac & cheese recipe.
It's all too often people tell me I sound older than I am (compliment? never sure...). But I'm so dedicated to bringing some old soul wisdom to this crazy world.
"I appreciate the witty sense of humor, light, and joy Jess bring in such a nurturing space. She is the most authentic, genuine, and passionate yoga teacher I know. She fully invests in her students so that we can know the healing power of our bodies, minds, and spirits."
"She is a wonderful woman who struggled in life and can deeply understand what it is like to have anxiety. She is truly empathetic and always has something to say to make me feel less alone in the world."
"I teach special education and because of The Yogic Body, my students are currently learning basic poses and techniques. It has definitely helped all of my students and I have you to thank you!"
Jess and her team make you feel welcome, loved and super comfortable, like you are part of the family. Classes are totally amazing, there is something new and special on each class. Jess's classes in studio and online (youtube) get you into a "YES YOU CAN" mindset right away.
