Hi, I’m Jess.

Welcome to Yoga Nest. I am so genuinely happy you are here. This offering is the culmination of a great deal of yoga and mental health training, yoga experience both as a teacher and student, life experience, reading (oh the reading!), and a whole lot of love.

I am a Mental Health Aware and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher with a BSc(Psychology/Psychophysiology) and BA(Honours), and over 10 years of yoga teaching experience.

Yoga Nest was born to be an inclusive, welcoming and safer place for everyone - including those experiencing challenges with balancing their emotions. Our aim is to share research-led and trauma-informed yoga practises to assist you in supporting your own emotional wellbeing - both in the short term as needed, but also with a longer term outlook. Who doesn’t need that right?

There are many ways in which Yoga Nest may be able to support you to develop a mental health aware yoga practise. These include free online resources, tailored 1:1 sessions (face to face or Zoom), specialised online courses (coming soon), and various live events and workshops. 

See the menu above for more information on my offerings and feel free to reach out to us via email if you have any queries. We would love to hear from you.

*It is important to note that we are not therapists. We are trained to teach Yoga in a way that is mental health aware, but not to provide counselling or medical advice. We would be happy to refer you to a mental health professional if you are seeking counselling.
