Kim’s yoga journey began as a search for healing during one of the most difficult times of her life. Originally from a small village in Cambodia, she was raised by her grandparents until moving to the United States in 2006 to reunite with her parents. Just two years later, she was faced with the devastating loss of her grandparents, a tragedy that led her to struggle deeply with grief and depression. In the midst of this hardship, Kim discovered meditation and yoga as powerful tools for healing and self-discovery. What started as a way to cope soon blossomed into a lifelong passion for mindful movement, breath, and connection. Over time, her practice has evolved to embrace the deeper spiritual and emotional aspects of yoga, as well as its physical benefits. Kim’s classes emphasize more than just the physical postures—they offer space for healing, reflection, and empowerment. She is passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive environment where students can explore the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Off the mat, Kim loves diving deeper into meditation and Ayurveda, and cherishes time with family and community.

Jessica is a retired US Army veteran who stumbled upon a yoga class early in her military career. As a competitive athlete and paratrooper, she first leaned on yoga intermittently while rehabilitating injuries. She was eventually compelled to reinvent her approach to health and fitness, turning to yoga as the primary means. With time, her passion for mindful movement deepened and her practice came to appreciate the mind-body connection. Jessica credits Yoga Sculpt for reigniting her dedication to yoga in recent years and is drawn to the rigor of slow, controlled movements throughout a Vinyasa flow. Having experienced physical changes that permanently altered her lifestyle, she understands the value of an accessible strengthening practice. Jessica completed her initial teacher training and Reiki certification at Yandara in Baja, Mexico, where she was inspired to explore a more spiritual domain. She enjoys learning about astrology, remote healing, and the power of meditation. In her free time, Jessica loves being in nature and cozying up in her cabin with her dog and cat.
