Jessica King

Jessica came to yoga over 20 years ago as an alternative way to “work out”. Immediately she felt the mind-body connection, but it took her many years of exploring and practicing to understand yoga was more of a “working in” for her. Jessica’s original training was in vinyasa yoga, linking breath to movement, and exploring the uniqueness of each practice day to day. While her practice is still largely vinyasa-based, her additional training in special populations including kids yoga, prenatal yoga, yoga for athletes, and trauma-informed yoga shines through also. Jessica’s yoga teaching is heavily influenced by her career as a licensed clinical social worker. She looks at the whole person, their environment, and their support system, and incorporates all of those systems to help people recognize their full potential. Jessica believes people are resilient and they can transform after challenges and that mindfulness practices help the transformation process. Jessica is currently completing her certification in Somatic Experiencing and infuses mindful somatic language, as well as the inner child work of Internal Family Systems into her teaching. Jessica lives in Wilmington, NC with her husband, 2 sons, and dog, Maggie. She owns and operates Stillpoint Counseling and Wellness, a group practice aimed at bringing a holistic perspective to mental health.
