She was nationally ranked in the youth musical forms division, which made for a smooth transition to cheerleading in High School. While studying psychology and biology at the College of Charleston, Jessy discovered her passion for yoga, which continues to be a profound physical and spiritual influence in her life. She holds an RYT 200 yoga certification and teaches flow-based classes that synthesize precise mechanics, alignment, and free form movement at several studios in the area. Following college, Jessy expanded her martial arts training and sharpened her heavy bag technique at local Muay Thai gyms while teaching English in Thailand. A few years ago, she joined a boxing gym in South Boston while working full time as a beekeeper. She also holds certifications in Massage Therapy and Thai Massage. Jessy brings the best of these complimentary disciplines and experiences to every TITLE class she leads to help her students move efficiently with both grace and power.
