“Jessica Jenkins offers an incredible yoga practice here on Nantucket. Her yoga teachings have helped me learn to slow down, enjoy the present, and to focus on more mindfulness, on AND off the mat. Her restorative yoga class has changed my life and for that I will be forever grateful.”

~Holly Finigan, NANTUCKET blACKbook

“Jessica credits me with being her first yoga teacher – an honor that I do not take lightly.  It has been such a treat to watch her yoga practice grow from a fledgling curiosity into a full-blown devotion over the years. She is a compassionate, skilled and gentle teacher.  She creates a comfortable, fun, playful, and safe environment in which students are encouraged to find their own practice and, ultimately, themselves.  Jessica is an artist – her creative spirit sets her classes apart; from playlists to sequencing, to some other intangible, indescribable “vibe” – her classes are a true creative expression. I have so much love and respect for this woman.  She teaches and lives authentically – that is to say, she’s the real deal.”

“Taking restorative yoga class with Jess has been one of the most healing and nurturing things in my life. Nantucket is an energy filled place where it can be challenging to keep your balance. In introducing restorative yoga to my practice, I’ve found I have been able to allow myself the freedom to checkout from the outside pressures and treat myself to moments of reflection and self-love. Jess’ style and approach to her teaching has improved so much of the way I experience the world. Two years ago I was diagnosed with PTSD, these classes have been instrumental in helping me move through trauma and grief – restoring a sense of joy back into my soul.  Jess crafts a nurturing and peaceful environment that encourages you to dig deep – week after week  she inspires her students to experience a level of peaceful reflection far beyond the yoga mat. I always look forward to her classes, where I am consistently amazed by her ability to deliver new and thought provoking material.”

” This winter I stumbled into one of Jess’ restorative yoga classes and was hooked. I’ve taken yoga classes with Jess before and have always loved her enthusiasm, playlists and joy of teaching. I have to say though that her restorative class is my fave and the way she presents this class is in such a gentle, nourishing way. She brings such a sense of peace to this class. She’s thoughtful in her playlists, assists and props. I love her props. I often reflect afterward how long it must take her to prepare for us. In her class don’t be surprised to find incense burning, a candlelit room, angel cards at the top of each mat, a lotion or potion or hydrosol, or a you are beautiful sticker. Jess takes time to create a beautiful class and each one is little slice of heaven. She loves what she does and you can tell.”
