Jessica Risco

Yoga Teacher

Shiva Yoga

Jessica discovered yoga in 2005 while teaching English in Morocco. Three women gathered twice a week to learn the Ashtanga Primary Series literally from the ground up. She still remembers stepping on the mat for the first time and having her whole life change. As someone who has always loved to move her body, Jessica went from simply seeing the physical benefits of activity, to having a much richer relationship to her being. After years of being a practitioner, Jessica completed her 200-hr training through Yoga Tree in San Francisco, studying with Danni Pomplun, Brenna Geehan, Darrin Main and Susannah Freedman. Jessica loves sharing the practice with others, and her classes lend themselves to incorporating elements of Bhakti yoga- the yoga of devotion- focusing on cultivating a spirit of unconditional love through asana, chanting and breathwork.
