Jessica Logan

Jessica came to the practice of yoga as an extension of her Buddhist meditation practice and immediately found that the mindful movement of yoga was a perfect complement to the practice of sitting meditation.  Jessica has been practicing Zen and mindfulness meditation for several years, participating in retreats led by the renowned Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh in monasteries both in France and in America. After years of personal practice, Jessica pursued her teacher training in "classical yoga" at the Sivananda Ashram where she received not only comprehensive training in asana and pranayama practice but also in Vedanta, meditation methods and yogic philosophy under the guidance of the wise and wonderful Swami Sitaramananda.  For Jessica, yoga truly is the practice of cultivating awareness, stability, peace and a deeper understanding of the self...with the excellent side effect of creating a strong, healthy body.  Knowing that each person's practice will be unique to their mind and body, Jessica hopes to help each individual develop a practice that is right for them.  

Teaching is truly one of Jessica's passions.  In addition to being a certified yoga teacher, she holds a Master's degree in Education and has taught in various capacities both in the United States and abroad.   Her sincere hope is to share her gratitude and enthusiasm for life through teaching.  Also a musician, you might also find her on a stage near you as the vocalist and bassist of the swing jazz band, Zazou (www.zazoumusic.com)!
