Jesse
Moore
Jesse has studied yoga
asana since 1999, and has become one inch taller since that time. She has
exclusively practiced Iyengar yoga since 2000 when she began classes at
the Houston Iyengar Yoga Studio with Constance Braden and Shaw-Jiun Wang.
Jesse began her teaching path in 2003 at the Albuquerque Zen Center, and
is now working toward her Iyengar teaching certification, a multi-year
process. She studies with senior IY teachers as often as possible to refine
her methods of teaching as well as her own practice. Jesse’s primary teaching
focus is correct alignment, and the poses are taught with props or supports,
in order to (1) avoid injury and pain, and (2) to allow students of all
levels to feel the multi-layered benefits of a correctly-done pose.
Jesse teaches the Wednesday
evening class and the Sunday morning class. |
