Breathe Practice Elevate
Nourishing the body, mind, & heart through movement & breath
Welcome!
I’m honoured to share my learnings as a teacher and student of yoga asana, pranayama, meditation, and yoga philosophy.
As a truth-seeker on the path of living a life of innate joy and freedom, I’m deeply inspired to share the ways in which a consistent yoga and meditation practice has transformed my life.
Move Breathe Be Still
I teach active styles of yoga and movement, such as Vinyasa Flow, Barre, Mat Pilates & Reformer; the more gentle practices of classical Hatha, Yin, Restorative and Chair Yoga; and the inward practices of Meditation and Pranayama (yogic breathing).
Whether you’re looking to move or be still, all of my teachings are firmly grounded in honouring the body, calming the mind, and nurturing the heart by cultivating a deep connection to Self.
Listening Reflecting Writing
I am deeply passionate about the study of yoga philosophy and consider it to be the foundation that informs my teaching and way of living. On my Journal page you’ll find writings on key teachings from the roots of South Asian yoga tradition, as well as my own inquiries and reflections as a knowledge seeker on this path.

Testimonials
“I have known Jessica as a student in teacher training, as a teacher in drop in classes and as an indispensable member of the Yogaspace teacher training faculty. In each of these roles, she has been determined, talented and reliable. An ex-dancer with a background in Pilates and Barre, Jessica is a creative and inspiring āsana, prānāyāma and meditation teacher with a kind, fun and nurturing manner. Her hard earned knowledge and commitment to the philosophical underpinnings of the practice put her in a rare category of teachers. An authentic and integral person, Jessica has developed a strong and devoted student base over her time on the Yogaspace drop in schedule and she has been the chosen mentor of many students going through teacher training. As the Director of my 24-year-old yoga studio, I have come to rely on Jessica tremendously. She is the teacher I have chosen to carry on my work, training yoga teachers and leading classes on our drop in schedule because she’s as smart as a whip, she is committed to the well being of her students, she is professional and to anyone who is lucky enough to cross her path, she is a dear friend.”
- Kathryn Beet, owner & director of Yogaspace Toronto & the Yogaspace 200 & 300HR teacher training program
“As a yoga teacher trainer and yoga philosophy instructor, it is rare to come across a person with the level of commitment and natural raw talent as Jessica Ullathorne. Her dedication to learning, self awareness and inner growth is deeply inspiring, and it has been one of the great pleasures of my 20 year career to have had the opportunity to work with her. Jessica is kind, personable, and extremely hard working with a single pointed focus. This combination of characteristics is exactly what it takes to not only succeed in ones' chosen profession, but also to succeed as a person who lifts and inspires others to be their own personal best. Jessica is a credit to our yoga community and I know that her amazing career is just beginning.”
- Hali Schwartz, renowned Yoga philosophy instructor & Yoga teacher trainer
“The first time I attended one of Jessica's vinyasa classes at Toronto Yoga Co. I remember leaving class being so surprised at the creativity, the compassion, and the physical challenge of the class - having never attended a yoga class quite like it before. It was that class that got me hooked completely, and was the main catalyst into my desire to become a teacher as well. Jessica leads with empathy, she is highly intuitive of each individual in her class, and when she pushes us that extra little mile, she tops it off with a smile; reminding us to be kind and practice with self-compassion. She integrates her deep understanding of Yoga philosophy into all of her classes, bringing the teachings of this practice forward and marrying all aspects of Yoga in a way that is consumable by any level of practitioner. I am constantly learning something new about myself, about others, and about the practice by attending Jessica's classes weekly.”
- Lindsey, public class Yoga student
“I love Jessica's classes, for me they are perfectly balanced between challenging and fun, strengthening and quiet, consistent yet always different. Jess makes everything look effortless – the āsana and the teaching. So I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from her in the Yogaspace 200HR teacher training, and to continue working with her as my mentor afterwards. I've learnt to create safe, fun and creative sequences, beneficial to students of all levels. We also incorporate practical exercises and hands-on adjustments. She encouraged me to find my own voice as a teacher and most importantly the confidence to actually start teaching. On top that, her passion for teaching is absolutely infectious. I can't recommend mentoring with Jess more highly to anyone who is just starting out as a yoga teacher. Thanks Jess, for being a wonderful guide, mentor and friend.”

Yoga is you connecting to You; connecting to the body’s intrinsic intelligence; connecting to the inner wisdom that is woven into each conscious breath, in each conscious moment, illuminated in each conscious being.
