Qigong Instructor Joan is an artist, herbalist, gardener, and Qigong instructor who finds inspiration in the natural world. Guided by the wisdom of plants, the changing seasons, and the quiet rhythms of nature, she believes mindful movement can help us reconnect with the vitality, balance, and resilience that already exist within us. Through her own experiences navigating life’s challenges, Joan discovered the restorative power of slowing down, softening the mind, and cultivating a deeper relationship with both herself and the world around her. Qigong became a meaningful part of that journey, offering a pathway toward greater ease, presence, and connection. With a gentle and welcoming approach, Joan invites students to explore movement with curiosity rather than expectation. Her classes offer an opportunity to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the body while honoring each person’s unique experience. Joan’s background includes work in healthcare, domestic violence advocacy, and community support services. When she’s not teaching, you’ll often find her tending her gardens, creating art, studying herbalism, or spending time outdoors.

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.
