Jessica Jobaris

Hi, I'm Jessica Jobaris, a Seattle-based movement and yoga instructor for over ten years in both fields of dance and yoga. As a recent graduate of Yoga Nidra Level 1 Teacher in training, I find the iRest® modality of Yoga Nidra meditation as "next level" in the embodiment practices that I offer my clients. As a Level 1 teacher in training also with Expressive Arts Therapy through Anna Halprin's Tamalpa Institute, I see the connections for movement and meditation to offer a complete healing experience. I've worked with at-risk-youth in juvenile detention facilities, and in WA state prisons bringing yoga and the arts to these populations for bridging self awareness and creative practices for healing. I am in awe of how the practice of iRest® continues to shift my own life, having a history of childhood PTSD, addiction and chronic health ailments, and because of this history, I am fully passionate about sharing this work with others! In service to our interconnectedness, I aim to bring this work, in tandem with my other embodiment practices (yoga, dance, expressive arts therapy and Reiki) to inspire and awaken others on their own personal healing path!
