About Me & Ma Yoga
Hi I'm Jessica, yoga teacher, mom, and founder of Ma Yoga for Pregnancy, Motherhood & Beyond, a yoga school I started for women in their childbearing years in 2009.
I felt the need because as a pregnant woman I LOVED my prenatal yoga classes... and yet as a new mom, I realized they did not prepare me at all.
I was exhausted, stressed, isolated and depleted, and I had no idea how to heal.
Ma Yoga isn't just about becoming a mother to a baby - it's about learning to mother ourselves, on and off the mat. It's about taking the yoga out of the studio and into our lives.
To do this fully, it's important to be in a nurturing community. As my teacher used to say, "we can't become ourselves, by ourselves."
That's why moms, moms-to-be, teachers, birth practitioners and trainees are all in this community together (although we have separate "Circles" you can belong to).
We all need practices and principles to be able to align with our most authentic, vibrant, creative and passionate Selves, no matter what we're pregnant with: a baby, a project, or a new way of showing up in the world.

Mostly what's here is support, guidance, and inspiration for whatever's gestating within you right now... so please hop in and send me a message saying hi!

Thank you to the amazing Ma Yoga teachers who continue to show up, week after week, and teach with such care and creativity and class no matter if only one person shows up, or if six arrive with babies. I can't wait for you to experience them!
