My first real yoga class was with Jessica as my instructor. I was not familiar with Ashtanga or any other style of yoga for that matter. She seemed so sure and confident, yet humble and happy to share her experience in Ashtanga with anyone who was willing to learn. It was like she held a secret and wanted to tell someone.

Jessica is an excellent teacher for students of all levels. She lives and teaches with an open heart; with sincerity, and compassion always.

The answer to the pain and inflexibility was Jessica Sharry’s class of Ashtanga Yoga. I truly maintain that this class and Jessica’s approach to healing and her gentle guidance to managing the poses made a huge difference in my life.

She has a consistency in her leadership yet a sense in knowing and setting the tone of each specific class. The personal g… Read more

I’ve had the privilege of being Jessica’s yoga student for over ten years. My life and practice has had its ups and downs over the years, but I always know that I can return to ashtanga with Jessica and be “home.” She is inspiring, uplifting and incredibly insightful through her teaching. I always feel like I can relax into being “right where I am” with her. Being in a class with Jessica is a true gift.

Jessica’s gentle manner and calm insight and guidance helped me to explore some possible patterns that had been holding me back.

I was lucky enough to have Jessica as my ashtanga instructor for a number of years. Jessica is incredibly genuine and provides the perfect balance of patience and encouragement. She has the unique ability to help each student feel comfortable in her class, whether you are a beginner or have been practicing for years. Her depth of knowledge regarding ashtanga only adds to one’s practice.
