I am not sure I can articulate nor accurately express how positive this experience has been for me. I first attended Jess’ studio in June, for a free community class…let’s just say I have not stopped coming to classes- just about daily since.

I attended Ky Washington’s Aromatherapy Yoga class and loved the whole experience. Ky is a wonderful instructor and knows her craft. I left relaxed and happy. I hope this class returns soon!

Came for the astrology, yoga, and reflection. Left with that and more great vibes and energy recharged seen and "My heart is over flowing with joy," that summed up my first experience. Amanda gives great instruction and knowledgeable and personable.

Is my go-to yoga & meditation! Jess’s presence and energy is grounding. The practice itself, even in classes I attended by two subs, is uplifting.

I am coming back to my yoga practice after five years and two kids and could not have asked for a better spot for it. I started with the Fundamentals series to see how it felt and the atmosphere was so welcoming and come as you are. I am so grateful to be back on my mat and to have Jess and all the incredible teachers here.

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I am new to yoga, and have never attended any type of class before. I was very nervous at first. Nadiya was so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. I left class feeling so refreshed and encouraged. Such a great experience!

I got the 7 day new student special and I’ve attended 3 classes so far: rocket, string and steady, & slow flow. Kegan and Jess are amazing and teach beyond the mat (integrating yoga philosophy). Excited to try out the different instructors too ✨ 11/11 would recommend. Parking is easy and convenient

I’ve been practicing with Jess for over a decade & I think she is hands down one of the best yoga instructors in the area. I am so excited she has her own studio & it’s such a great space! Intimate but inviting, and the line up of instructors here is top notch! Drop in for a class - I’m sure you’ll become a fan too!

I just took Tuesday morning Yin with Shannon and she is great! She has a very calming voice and I like the yin postures she teaches. I also got into a car accident recently and she listened to me and worked with me to create modifications for my needs at this time in my yoga practice. I highly recommend Shannon’s class.
Jess Purtell’s yoga studio was exactly what I needed! I’m so grateful to have this studio nearby to practice all my yoga needs from Rocket to Yin. 🧘🏻♀️

Friends: When something is so good I just can't gatekeep it. Please join me in welcoming Jess Purtell Yoga to the Belle View Shopping Center. My yoga practice started almost 25 years ago in Arizona. I moved to the DMV in 2003 and have spent the past 21 years trying to find authentic yoga in an environment that provides community and a solid range of classes. Well, now it's here and it is awesome! Times are stressful and we need yoga! Please go check it out because I know you won't be disappointed. Jess Purtell -- we have been waiting for you and I am so glad you are here!

I went to Jess Purtell Yoga to try Rokiet class with Kegan. I did not know what to expect but curiosity won over me so I went … and … it was really fantastic class! The teacher, Kegan turned out to be a charismatic, energetic and fun person but most importantly a highly experienced and knowledgeable professional. He knew how to stretch, encourage students and make everyone enjoy every posture. I left the class relax, happy and with good energy. Definitely, I am coming back for more classes with Kegan and other teachers. The studio is at great location, free parking, very comfortable, a lot of space on the floor, has natural wood, very clean, no smell of chemicals like in other studios.

I’ve been going to Jess’s Pilates and yoga classes for a couple of months now and can’t say enough about how wonderful they are. Not only is it a great workout, but it’s a fantastic community. Jess really takes the time to get to know everyone and makes it personal. I just wish I had found her sooner!

Jess is a fantastic yoga teacher, coach, and a mentor to so many practitioners looking to enhance their yoga practice. Jess was my first yoga teacher and she completely broke down the barrier of any reservations/doubts I had about my body's ability to learn yoga poses. She has a rare talent of making people feel comfortable, and she meets people where they are (and on the mat!), taking into consideration every person's unique abilities. Jess is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of foundations, history, and philosophy of yoga. She continues to research new developments in the science of yoga and fitness overall, and shares that information with her students. Jess has a holistic approach to yoga: body, mind, spirit. No matter where you are on your yoga journey: the very first class or a seasoned practitioner--Jess Purtell's yoga will deliver for you!

I’ve been taking yoga classes with Jess since 2015 and there is a REASON I keep coming back :) Jess’s sequences are fun, challenging and always have a deeper meaning for the practice that I can take off the mat. The music is also beautifully choreographed into the flow and the energy is HIGH that sometimes you just want to sing out loud! Whatever you are in your practice Jess will meet you there with a poem mind and heart!

Jess is a fantastic instructor! She is extremely knowledgeable, creative and fun! Her Pilates for Yogis classes are challenging, but easily modified for your skill level. She inspires me to push myself to do more than I could (or would) do on my own. I love a class that I can laugh all the way through, while still getting a fantastic workout. Plus, she has created a great community of people to practice with.

Jess Purtell is a phenomenal yoga teacher. I have followed her from studio to studio for over 10 years because of the quality of her instruction and her engaging classes. She teaches challenging, fun classes with awesome music. I, also, really appreciate that she integrates work that is important while we age - balance challenges and body movement that helps your brain. I make attending her weekly classes a priority!

Jess is my absolute favorite yoga teacher of all time! I have been practicing on and off for 20 years and since I've been attending classes with Jess the last six(?) years I have finally found some consistency in my practice because I LOVE HER CLASS. The music is always different and great and I really enjoy that each class in completely different. I also really like that she works in occasional pilates and non standard yoga poses.

I've been going to Jess's yoga and pilates classes for over four years and I love her! She brings so much energy and enthusiasm to the practice, and both types of classes she teaches (yoga+pilates) are a great workout. I've been able to grow so much as a yogi with her guidance- she has a great understanding of anatomy and will explain it in class and make sure you're aligning yourself correctly in poses. I really appreciate her perspective on meditation and expanding your practice to include the spiritual side of yoga too. I've also gone to many of her workshops and the Goddess Retreat; they've all been such wonderful experiences because she puts so much time and effort into the content and breaks it down in a way that's relatable (for example, polyvagal theory workshop was incredible and something I continue to monitor about myself, the meditation series on her page is fantastic and a great intro into meditation or a great way to deepen your current meditation practice, etc.). You can't go wrong with any of her classes or workshops, you'll love them all :)

If you want an amazing work out for mind, body and soul come to Jess for her pilates for yogis class! Her thoughtful explanations on how to work your body and treat your mind leave me feeling amazing for the rest of the day and stronger than I have in the past. Cannot recommend her classes enough!

I've been doing yoga regularly for a little over a year, and started with a beginner series taught by Jess. I was initially apprehensive, thinking you had to look a certain way or be able to do the kind of poses you see all over social media.
Jess immediately made me feel like I belonged, and has helped me to discover many of the amazing benefits of yoga for the mind, body and soul. Her classes are vigorous, joyful and no matter what's going on in my life, I always feel better afterwards. And there is always great music - you can't help but sing along, and it is welcomed in Jess' classes.
She has a passion for what she does and it is passed along to all through a deep knowledge of yoga and the body, her dedication to continued education, and commitment to building a close-knit wellness community. I highly recommend Jess and encourage you to visit her studio soon!

Love this studio and Jess, she has such a positive energy and her studio is beautiful. Jess is a gifted teacher and her classes are always so much fun (and challanging). I'm so lucky to have found her. As an extra bonus the studio is in a great neighbourhood with parking, which is not always the case in other studios - who wants to be late for yoga class?

My wife, Jane, and I have been practicing with yogi Jess for several years — she’s one of the best we’ve ever had. The experience of practicing with her has been enhanced by the opening of her private in-home studio — great space, equipment, lighting and acoustics
