the PRACTICE

the PRACTICE

Rooted in traditional vinyasa and inspired by alternative movement modalities that strengthen the mind-body connection with breath as the bridge.

With movement as the medium, the practice is intended to integrate the human experience - to move through what is moving through you.

Jaclyn is a yoga teacher and movement artist led by her unwavering belief in the transformative nature of movement. The Practice is offered with the intention of guiding others to find their sanctuary - an inner strength and place of peace within.

Her Sanctuary is The River - a constant state of arrival and departure, unwinding its way to return home.

For me, the most meaningful part of Jaclyn's classes isn't just the yoga itself, it's how she makes you feel. She creates a space which excites you to show up on your mat, a space that is welcoming and positive and lifts my spirits. I always leave feeling lighter, calmer and genuinely happy. Her classes strengthen the body, but also have a way of helping me reset and reconnect.

I've taken many yoga classes over the years, and Jaclyn's truly stand out. Every class feels unique - thoughtfully designed with options to level up in poses while still keeping things playful and accessible. Her hands-on guidance is always clear and intentional, and she creates an environment that feels warm, safe, and welcoming every time. The music is always on point and makes it easy to fully drop into the flow. I consistently leave her classes feeling grounded, reset, and so grateful. It's such a special experience, every single time.

I couldn't have asked for a better first retreat experience. I came looking to learn a new sport and make new connections and left with so much more. Incredible waves, relaxing yoga and the most supportive and inspiring group of women. I can't wait for the next illuminate retreat - thanks so much for an amazing week.
