Back in Balance Yoga Therapy

05/30/2025

Reposted from Stacey, Jenny, and I spent this beautiful morning with , learning all about restorative yoga and how it could help us balance our busy, driven lives.

Jessica works with a range of conditions in her practice , but specializes in helping clients process past trauma, reduce anxiety, release tight muscles, and get better sleep. She offers private yoga therapy (one-on-one or small groups) and gives her students custom tools for their personal healing. Loved every minute of spending time with her!

“Just as an ignorant individual performs action with attachment, Arjuna, so does a wise person perform action without attachment, wishing for the welfare of society.”  Kriṣna - Śloka 3.25 of the Bhagavad Gītā
 
When you are living a yogic life, you act consciously.  You slow things down. Settle any emotions that have come up. You walk around a situation and then make a choice, acting from a place of wisdom.  See the situation from all sides and choose deliberately, freeing yourself from any sense of urgency.  You think of the impact of your decision beyond yourself. 

This is a practice - easier said than done in the heat of a moment. You can use yogic practices to help. Pause and take 5 deep conscious breaths. Or do a few rounds of mantra and clear your mind. Maybe even an āsana practice. Practice the pause! And remember - there is no yogic action without wisdom.

Living in devotion. Always. जय माँ   🌸🌺🌸

Just a quick introduction of Jessica, yoga therapist and owner of Back in Balance Yoga Therapy.

Certified yoga therapist (PYT), Instructor, 500RYT, certified prenatal instructor (RPYT), and Accessible Yoga Ambassador with additional training in therapeutic yoga structuring, trauma-informed yoga, pelvic floor dysfunction, prenatal and postnatal yoga, and special populations including those with chronic pain. Jessica also has a bachelor degree in psychology from Jacksonville State University (2020).

Jessica has been practicing yoga since 2016. She discovered yoga on a health journey and began practicing. From there, she found how yoga can heal everything from your body to your mind, your spirit, and beyond. She obtained her first teaching certificate in December of 2016. She then received her 200 hour certificate in 2017 with HereNowYoga (Becca Impello and Kim Drye) in Birmingham, Alabama—an Alignment-based training. After that, she received a 500 hour certificate in December 2018 and her certification in Yoga Therapy in October of 2019, both with Etowah Valley Yoga (Sue Hopkins) in Cartersville, Georgia. She received her 100 hour Prenatal certification in December of 2019 with Abbey Brewer at Etowah Valley Yoga. Jessica’s main Yoga Therapy style that she uses comes from training with Kaya Mindlin, who founded SRY (Supreme Release or Spinal Release Yoga). She has also does additional philosophical training with Kaya. Jessica receives personal guidance from her guru, Shivaram ji. Jessica is a student of Advaita Vedanta, and she studies Veda theory (Veda Studies, Shantala Sriramaiah), Vedic chanting (Kaya Mindlin), Ayurveda (Yoga Veda), Jyotisha (Vedic Tradition), and Sanskrit (HUA).

My passion for teaching is in the therapeutic and healing world of yoga. I work privately with clients who are looking to process past trauma and realize/rework habitual patterns. Many of my clients are dealing with pelvic health concerns, insomnia and sleep disturbance, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, and other forms of chronic pain. My desire is to help each individual find deep peace, rest, and healing. I work to help you find balance through stillness in a tumultuous and busy world.

What is Spinal Release Yoga Therapy?

Supreme Release Yoga (SRY) is a deeply nourishing, restorative, rejuvenative style of Yoga Therapy. In every session, we will work to quiet the mind and release tight and tense muscles. You will be guided in poses that release the entire spine (tailbone, sacrum, psoas, ribcage) in a very meticulous way that allows for a full release especially in tight or stuck areas of the spine and body. You will be guided through specific pranayama using the breath and guided relaxation meant to calm the nervous system allowing for a state of calm and tranquility. For full benefit, you are encouraged to practice this style daily (shorter practice is fine) and meet with a SRY Yoga teacher weekly.

Reposted from after spending a lovely morning with them

What a wonderfully relaxing and healing experience we had at our event with this morning.

A few takeaways from the session:

🌿 You’ll get from it what you need

🌿 You are allowed to relax

🌿 Give yourself permission to relax

🌿 Affirmation: “I’ve got you, I’m not going to let you down”

🌿 It’s very difficult to think of anything else while you’re humming, so give it a try if you’d like to quiet your mind

Thank you, Jessica, for having us at your beautiful studio!
