Jessica

Jessica is one of the founders and owners of Inner Light. From a young age, Jessica was drawn to a spiritual way of living and the mind-body connection. She loved yoga right from the start, exploring many different styles. When she began practicing Vinyasa yoga, its fluidity, beauty, and meditative qualities captured her heart. "Savasana was mind-blowing to me; I fell in love with meditation."

Jessica has been practicing yoga for over 15 years, intermittently, but always returning to the practice which has kept her light and grounded. She began teaching yoga in 2020 with the intention to help spark the light in everyone she practices with.

In addition to 500 hours of yoga, Jessica is also a Holy Fire KARUNA Reiki Master, Ayurvedic nutritionist, and Tarot Reader.

Alongside her yoga journey, Jessica has been a Medical Aesthetician for over 15 years, bringing her passion for skin health and holistic healing together.

Jody

Jody is one of the Founders + Owners of Inner Light. She fell in-love with meditation thanks to her Mental Health Coach and par-taking in a 20-day meditation challenge in 2022. She noticed a huge difference in her sleeping, emotions and outlook on life. So she set out to learn more and become a certified meditation teacher. She completed that training in 2022 and started teaching group community classes.

Brooke

With a love for yoga that began over a decade ago in high school, I have dedicated myself to sharing the transformative power of this ancient practice with others. Through my yoga teacher and life coaching training, I have found my calling in guiding individuals to explore the depths of their body, mind, and spirit connection. Self-awareness is at the core of my teachings, as I believe in the profound impact it can have on one's overall well-being.

As a devoted mother of two and a loving wife, I understand the importance of balance and connection in all aspects of life. When I'm not on the mat, you can find me outdoors, soaking in the beauty of nature and cherishing moments with my loved ones. I am grateful for the opportunity to inspire and empower others on their yoga journey, and I look forward to sharing this practice with you.
