His 200-hour training was in in Power and Dharma Yoga, and his 300-hour training focused on Ashtanga Yoga through the Roots Love School. Jarrick's teachers were Faith Scimecca and Marie Belle Perez Rivera (with a heavy influence from anime!). He views yoga as not just a physical exercise but as a therapeutic journey for the mind, body, and energetic self.
His perspective on the Mysore style of practice emphasizes the therapeutic benefits, enabling practitioners to move at their own pace and take control of their journey. This approach allows individuals to delve into the intricacies of the mind, energy, body structure, and alignment, fostering a deep understanding of the connections among them. Through this awareness, one can identify and overcome obstacles hindering twists, reaches, or balance, while rejuvenating different aspects of the self.
Jarrick’s kind, gentle and knowledgeable manner create an open and safe space for students. Beyond the mat, he guides individuals in seamlessly integrating the lessons learned during practice into their daily lives, promoting a holistic approach to well-being.

Jeselene’s yoga journey began in India while working in villages with women to promote maternal health. The physical practice was introduced to her by her host mother who practiced every morning and invited her to join. During four months in India, her relationship with yoga began to flourish and once she returned to the states her practice took off.
While practicing with Jeselene you can expect to have an open and grounded practice that will allow the mind to become more in tune with the physical body, leaving it feeling clear and aware. Through the session, the focus will be placed on maintaining stable energy throughout the flow and keeping a consistent rhythm of breath that will assist with identifying the areas of discomfort in practice and everyday life. Jeselene has a special interest in making the practice accessible to all levels and bodies, as well as expecting mothers.
Jeselene’s sessions pick from various styles of yoga that include Ashtanga, Dharma, and Yin. She is a 500hr RYT from Roots Love Yoga School led by Marie Belle Perez Rivera, along with other workshop training in topics such as anatomy, functional medicine, Ashtanga yoga, and pre and post-natal.
