Jessica Lyn Jennings

Jessica is the founder of Ma Yoga for Pregnancy and Motherhood. When she first learned to meditate, her teacher told me that if she couldn’t practice twice a day for 20 minutes, she shouldn’t bother. So when her baby was born and she barely had time to get dressed in the morning, she stopped. Meditation wasn't there for Jessica at the exact time she needed it most in her life. A year later, she started asking herself: Who are all these men to tell me how long her meditation has to be? Jessica started exploring what she could do if she only had two minutes. What would be the most transformative, grounding, and uplifting thing she could possibly do for herself? The answer eventually became Ma Meditation. Jessica has spent 25 years supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood through yoga, alignment, breath, and meditation, and 15 years training teachers to do the same. Ma Yoga is about bringing the practice out of the fancy studio and into our daily lives. Maybe it's two minutes in the car before you go inside, or sitting and breathing while your little one plays... whatever works for you. It’s about learning practices that help us go from giving 150% and feeling depleted to giving to ourselves so we can give 100% & keep our cup filled. We don’t need 20 minutes, a quiet room, or to be “good” at meditating. Sometimes just making the choice to step out of the current of your life for one moment is enough to shift our mindset, our day, and, over time, our life.
