Jessica Janusz

RYT, Yin Yoga, Chinese Medicine, Heal Your Life

Yoga Camp Presenter of: “Yoga Recharge” Classes

Never did I think I would become a yoga teacher but on the final day of my training years ago, I felt a call that this is what I’m here to do. I’ve learned that the Universe has a better plan than the one we have ourselves and when we have the courage to follow it, miracles unfold. My teaching comes from the heart and is centered around being more present, authentic, and not taking ourselves too seriously.


With a deep passion for health & healing, a few of the additional trainings I’ve completed are in Yin Yoga with a focus in Chinese Medicine, Louise Hay Heal Your Life, and Neuroscience for treating Anxiety & Depression. Additionally, I am trained and practice as a trauma-informed life coach. I also travel the world to learn about wellness practices being used in different cultures. I bring all of this and more into my classes to create a holistic experience for the mind, body, and soul. 


I believe prioritizing oneself is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves and others. My mission is to guide you into deeper connection with yourself and your purpose — creating a higher standard of living.
