"I'm alive, and therefore enough" 

Jess Rizkallah

I am a teacher of teens and young adults, in secondary schools and in support groups. I am an instructor in everything from dance fitness to yoga. I am a business director who has worked in the corporate field as an editor, a project manager and a writer. I am a cancer survivor who believes we owe it to ourselves to respect our bodies and spend time ‘undoing’ the ravages of 21st century living.

But mostly I am a believer in JOY and the magic of movement!

Through all of my life I have turned to movement and mindfulness as a leveller and as a way of finding joy and happiness. 

My yoga journey is very significant to me. I went to many yoga classes with a variety of teachers to try and find the style that resonates with me. I found my tribe in Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga and have completed my advanced teacher training (500 hour) with two of Sadie Nardini’s master trainers.

​

Whilst I respect and honour the traditions and essence of yoga, I have a modern vinyasa flow style and focus on biomechanics, safe anatomical movement and intelligent therapeutic practice. I believe the asanas work deeply on the body’s form to correct postural issues and injuries.

In 2019 I completed a Yin Yoga training with Sarah Lo and furthered my knowledge of anatomy through an immersive three-day workshop with Leslie Kaminoff.

I am a qualified Mindfulness Teacher, a Health Coach and a Positive Psychology Practitioner. My intention is to offer workshops and consultancy where the intertwining of movement and positive psychology form a powerful platform for elevating the wellbeing of others.

I have recently completed a Masters degree at UEL studying Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, delving deeper into the science of happiness.

My journey as a Wellness Educator and Coach is only just beginning……
