Jackie is constantly curious about life and the potential of human development. Her most recent adventure outside of music has led her to an even deeper understanding of music-making and sound production.

An ardent yogi for more than a decade, Jackie was inspired by the benefit that yoga brought to her own life and became a YTT-200 (200hr yoga teacher training) certified yoga teacher. Deeply moved by the power of yoga in her own postpartum recovery, Jackie further pursued her specialty and became certified in Prenatal Yoga and Yin Yoga, which focuses on releasing deep connective tissues.

Jackie now blends the awareness of the physical body into her music teaching, helping her students overcome technical constrictions caused by physical tension. Her yoga lessons uniquely incorporate the usage of musical instruments so that students can truly experience relaxation during practice. Through better alignment, students are able to use their muscles more effectively as well as extend the range of their instrument.

Jackie would love to help take your musicianship to the next level if you are interested in exploring. For new mothers — congratulations! Know that you can continue to enjoy life and practice music, and Jackie would love to show you how.
