Jess Nugawela
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Jess is a trained Vinyasa, slow flow, yin, pranayama, mantra, meditation & mental health aware yoga teacher.Her style is sloooow, soft, feminine, from the heart, with deep intention. Her desire is for students to drop into and immerse themselves into the energy, intention and bhav of the practice.
She creates a safe space for students to practice in the way which will be most nourishing for them in that moment – to take from the practice what they need. For students to slow down, to be present in their body, and to practise Ahimsa – kindness and compassion for themselves. To give students agency – lots of options and space for choice.

What our Students are saying
“When I know Jess is guiding a Full or New Moon practice, I do everything in my power to be there. Hers are filled with love, opportunities for gentle awakening and accessible pearls of wisdown, and she creates a feeling of being securely and safely held. Jess provides spaces within and between the practices for moments to feel deeply and listen to our own bodies, with her calming, warm voice and ever-present smile a reminder to be kind to ourselves, as much as we are to others. I come away from all of Jess’s classes feeling thoroughly nurtured, seen and uplifted, my heart a little more open and joyous. Thank you, beautiful Jess xx”
