Why Yoga?

Why Yoga with Me, Jessica Seabern, is Good for You

Yoga isn’t just about bending and stretching; it’s a pathway to holistic well-being. When you step onto the mat with me, you’re embarking on a transformative journey tailored to your unique needs. Whether we’re connecting through livestream classes, in-person sessions, or serene yoga retreats, I’m here to help you thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Here’s why practicing yoga with me could be the experience that transforms your life:

1. Stress Relief and Nervous System Benefits

In today’s busy world, stress is a constant companion for many of us, and it can take a serious toll on overall health. My classes focus on mindful breathing and gentle movement, calming the nervous system and activating the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response. Together, we’ll:

• Reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone).

• Create a sense of calm and grounding.

• Promote deep relaxation and emotional well-being.

2. Build Strength, Balance, and Bone Density

From Functional Yoga to Ashtanga Yoga, my sessions are designed to help you feel strong and resilient. Together, we’ll:

• Enhance bone density with weight-bearing poses like Warrior II and Forearm Plank.

• Improve balance, which is essential for reducing fall risks—especially as we age.

• Strengthen your core and joints through gentle yet effective movements.

3. Increased Flexibility and Joint Mobility

Flexibility and mobility are essential for living a vibrant life, and my approach ensures a safe and sustainable way to improve them. My classes include:

• Slow Flow Yoga: Ideal for opening up tight muscles and enhancing range of motion.

• Vinyasa Flow: Build strength and flexibility in a joyful, breath-integrated sequence.

• Yoga for Seniors: Designed for aging bodies to promote joint health and mobility with therapeutic-inspired movements.

4. A Variety of Classes for Every Body

My teaching philosophy centers on inclusivity. I offer styles to suit all levels, needs, and goals:

• Gentle Yoga: A restorative practice, perfect for beginners or those seeking ease.

• Flow Yoga: Energizing sequences connecting breath with movement.

• Functional Yoga: Focused on enhancing daily mobility and injury prevention.

• Slow Flow Yoga: A mindful and meditative practice.

• Ashtanga Yoga: A dynamic, traditional style for those ready to embrace a challenge.

• Yoga for Seniors: Accessible classes that help you age gracefully and feel your best.

Every class is a supportive space where you’ll leave feeling strong, calm, and uplifted.

5. Livestream Yoga: Practice Anywhere

Can’t make it to an in-person class? My livestream yoga sessions bring the practice to you, wherever you are. With classes hosted on my Zoom platform and through the Center for Yoga LA, you’ll enjoy flexible scheduling and the comfort of practicing from home.

Discover the Bliss of Yoga Vacays with Jessica Seabern

In our bustling lives, it’s easy to forget the importance of self-care and reflection. That’s where yoga retreats—or yoga vacays—come in. Join me, Jessica Seabern, in one of these transformative experiences combining the best of yoga, travel, and community, all set against breathtaking backdrops.

Why Choose a Yoga Vacay?

1. Holistic Healing

Yoga retreats offer a unique opportunity to delve deeper into your practice, no matter what your level is, offering a variety of methods, including many styles of Hatha yoga such as: Therapeutic Inspired yoga, Gentle Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Functional Yoga and so much more. This diverse approach ensures that every student, regardless of experience level, can find a practice that resonates and supports what they are seeking and what their mind and bodies are ready for.

2. Mindfulness and Reflection

Alongside yoga, we integrate practices like pranayama (breath control), meditation, sutra studies and journaling. These elements foster a deeper connection to oneself, encouraging mindfulness and self-reflection that can lead to profound personal growth. All participation is always optional, I want you to enjoy your experience feeling no pressure.

3. Adventure and Exploration

Every yoga vacay is not just about yoga—it's about exploration! Picture yourself hiking through the stunning landscapes of Nosara, Costa Rica, swimming in the pristine waters of the pink sand beaches of Harbour Island, and Eleuthera, Bahamas, surfing the waves near Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, or even enjoying a beer and local music (sessions) at a pub in Northern Ireland.  Enjoy local adventures and experiences, ensuring a well-rounded experience.

4. Nourishing Dining Experiences

Yes, experiences!  One of the highlights of any retreat is the food. I choose locations that offer amazing fresh healthy meals, mostly farm to table, that not only fuel your body but also delight your taste buds. Sharing meals with fellow friends, new and old fosters connection and encourages beautiful conversations. We laugh a lot, we sometimes cry, we support one another while enjoying amazing local food and if so desired,  wine and bevies too. The family style meals and brunches we’ve experienced at the annual Ocean View Club or The Other Side, resorts in The Bahamas have their own stories, the beautiful honor bar has its own stories as well. 

5. A Community of Laughter and Connection

The shared experiences during a yoga vacay often lead to lasting friendships. From quiet moments of reflection to laughter-filled evenings, these connections can be as transformative as the yoga itself.
