Jacki first came to yoga looking for a safe place, quickly realizing that there is no safer place than coming back home to herself.
Jacki received her 200 hour certification in Worcester in 2016. Even as a teacher, Jacki is always a student, influenced by all styles of yoga, all the teachers at Third Eye Collective, along with Jacqui Bonwell, Alexandria Crow and Heather Castagnaro. She is also a student of Ayurveda, a complimentary practice to the art of yoga.
Jacki teaches the way she practices – slow, methodical and intentional with a focus on the power of choice and trusting yourself. She believes in paying more attention to what the practice feels like, rather than what it looks like – that yoga is a feeling, not a shape.
An enthusiast for the outdoors, nature is her biggest inspiration. Off the mat, Jacki loves to be outside – hiking, gardening and biking. She works at the Worcester Art Museum and is surrounded by inspiring people, cultures, communities, and art daily.
