The medicine of Ayurveda and Yoga are complex beautiful sciences that can transform our lives on all levels.
I have been practicing yoga with Jessica Dean for the past 8 years of my nearly 20 year yoga practice. Jessica opened my eyes to the real power of yoga, yoga as more than merely asana (poses), but to the authentic practice of yoga as medicine for the body AND mind. The evolution of my personal practice since working with Jessica has improved my quality of life in more ways than I could ever have imagined. Jessica's great depth and breadth of knowledge of yoga is compassionately and enthusiastically shared with all her students and I have found a true teacher for life that I will be forever grateful for.

Jessica was my massage therapist for approximately 15 years. I suffer from chronic pain and Jessica's compassion, patience, and expertise provided me years of relief. Jessica cares about the person - both body and soul. Her loving self comes across in her touch. I highly recommend anyone who needs therapeutic massage and healing.
Pam McDonald
Although I had taken yoga classes before I had never experienced the true benefits of yoga. With Jessica's help I learned how to truly meditate, be aware of my body's alignment and position, and push myself further than I thought possible. I gained strength, flexibility, and an understanding of how to listen to my body. Yoga went from being just a workout to being a time where I exerted and also renewed at the same time. yoga with Jessica literally changed my life!
