Jess G Yoga         

 Jessica Goulding, or "Jess G,"

grew up in Houston, Texas and was introduced to yoga in 1990 as part of her dance training there, and later at the University of Texas at Austin. After earning her B.F.A. in dance, she moved to New York City to dance professionally, and continued studying yoga. In 2004 she became a certified yoga teacher through the teacher training program at Yoga Mandali Studio in New York, studying under certified Anusara  teacher, Lisa Keays.  While in New York City, Jessica taught at Yoga Mandali and World Yoga Center, as well as Ballet Academy East and the NYU Tisch School of the Arts.

She and her husband, Nick, came to Austin in 2004, and in 2005 their son Nathaniel was born. They were blessed again in 2007 with their daughter Havia. In 2005 Jessica completed her post-natal yoga training at Yoga Yoga, and for 6 years taught popular post-natal classes for moms and babies.

Jess G's teachers include Christina Sell, Lisa Keays, Jackie Prete, Bindu Wiles,  and Pastor Larry Coulter. 

When she's teaching, Jessica strives to bring out the inner beauty in each student as they playfully explore the asanas (postures). Each class has a theme that ties the yoga on the mat to life off the mat.

Outside of the studio Jessica spends her time hanging out with her family and with other moms and yogis. She loves swimming,  water skiing, boating,  and just being out by a lake. Since becoming a homeowner, she's getting into gardening, and feels that digging in the dirt is good for the soul. She is committed to chips and salsa, girlfriends, and having a good dance partner.
