I’m Jess! An experienced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 785+) and the founder of Becoming Retreats & Becoming Yoga Academy.

For the past 9 years, I’ve had the honour of teaching yoga around the world, creating transformational retreats and experiences designed to help people reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and feel more alive in who they are.

Alongside retreats, I lead both 200-hour and advanced 300-hour yoga teacher trainings, as well as mentoring aspiring teachers through my Inspire Mentorship programme - supporting them in building not only their teaching skills, but the confidence to pursue their goals and dreams within the wellness space.

My teaching experience spans across weekly studio classes in Edinburgh, private 1:1 sessions, large-scale PR and wellness events, YouTube and on-demand classes, as well as working with high-profile Team GB athletes and footballers. No matter the setting, my approach always centres around creating classes and experiences that feel empowering, welcoming, and deeply transformative.
