Guru

lotus The Sanskrit term guru refers to that which illuminates; it is the remover of darkness. We tend to think of a guru as a person, and indeed for many of us our greatest teachers (those who help dispel the darkness of ignorance) have been actual people. But the guru is more accurately translated as the enlightenment principle--a force that is operating within and around us at all times, in all things.

Testimonials

Jessica is a phenomenal teacher, both for yoga and for the work she does in nutrition. She has an ability to cut right through the everyday chatter and the more superficial problems--the ones people originally think they need to focus on--and shift the focus to the underlying root issues. This is true both in her yoga classes and in her nutritional work, and is an amazing talent. Her classes and sessions never fail to shift my perspective and make me feel more hopeful and focused.

Jennifer Pearson 

Jessica is such an inspirational guru, and I'm so thankful that I've had opportunities to be in her Jivamukti classes and several of her workshops! I always feel like she says exactly what I need to hear that day. She is so knowledgable, and has a gift of making whatever she is teaching accessible and relevant. I enjoy the balance of her classes - asana, meditation, chanting, and discussion about a particular limb of yoga. I always look forward to Jessica's classes, and take so much away from them.
