From Students' Hearts

"Jacqueline has a strong and clear voice, providing excellent instruction paired with thoughtful music choices. She ensures there's always time to rest, creating a balanced and enjoyable experience."

Matthew C.

"Jacqueline is the epitome of presence. Her tone, energy, and heart-intention are felt in every experience she curates, inspiring all of us who attend her classes and workshops to continue to cultivate our own heart-awareness practices."

"As a fairly inexperienced yogi myself, Jacqueline has made me feel incredibly welcome during each of her classes and moon circles that I’ve had the pleasure of attending. She creates a warm and inviting space, that’s always paired with amazing sound or a spot-on playlist. Jacqueline’s classes always leave me feeling rested and truly inspired."

Nicole R.

"If you have not yet had the incredible good fortune to have found your way into one of Jacqueline's classes as yet, I'd strongly encourage you to do so. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or an absolute newcomer to the practice, I have no doubt she will provide you with exactly what you need.

I have been practicing Modo for over twelve years, and before that, Bikram was my thing. I can honestly say that her classes never ever disappoint. She is always able to create a space where you immediately feel the warmth of her welcome and reassurance that "you've got this!" ...whatever your level of ability. Jacqueline is the type of teacher who is precise in her instruction, pays attention to detail, ensures that the form for each posture is demonstrated in a way that's accessible for all, with reminders to listen to your body, not to over extend and rest when you need to ...minimizing any risk of injury over time. Her pacing is always perfect, and her ability to meet each of us where we are at, and yet challenge us to find our edge is just amazing!

Even her music choices for each and every class are carefully curated to support an ambiance where one feels held, understood, and safe enough to release whatever they may have been holding onto for maybe that day/week/month/year. Letting go, if even just for the time you are in her class, makes such a difference to your general wellbeing and how you then navigate/experience the world. Jacqueline is a "yoga alchemist" who pays careful attention to the mind, body, and soul... You will leave her class transformed on the inside, which over time radiates out, in the best way.

We ALL need a little more Jacqueline in our lives."

Melanie B.

"I have had the immense pleasure of witnessing Jacqueline's journey as a yoga teacher from her beginning.

Jacqueline has always held her students during her classes; offering intentional care through her words, sequences, music, adjustments, and presence. She provides a sacred space where meaningful work happens. When I go to her yoga classes, it means more than just a class to me - it means time for myself, to take care of my whole self, while practicing in and with community.

Jacqueline exudes passion and care in her yoga teaching and life. She is always striving to grow, both as a person and in her teaching. Jacqueline teaches yoga through her heart, connecting students with the wisdom of the moon, and our seasonal world. Her classes are dynamic and evolving, offering a beautiful challenge, keeping students present and intrigued.

Jacqueline has always provided a safe space for all. She continually teaches us the importance of presence, and knowing ourselves. She acknowledges each of us where we're at, encouraging us to listen to our bodies as we move from posture to posture, breath to breath, making adjustments based on our observations.

Jacqueline's genuine radiance as a human being, and confidence from years of continued dedication provide yoga students with an unforgettable experience that never leaves you."
