Bali Bliss
Jessica Devi
Jessica has been practicing and studying health through movement, yoga and wellness for over 25 years. She is passionate about facilitating a personalised approach for each person in a way that is unique to their body, mind, history and hopes.
Jessica is a sensitive, warm and knowledgeable teacher and through the integration of mindful movement, breath practices and awareness techniques Jessica will support you to find – not only the best version of yourself but also a life that is deeper and more connected.
“I continue to be inspired by the endless possibility yoga and movement practice presents and have first hand experience in their healing power, both within my own body and mind and the bodies and minds of those I have had the privilege of working with. I truly believe we have the power to transform ourselves; body, mind and spirit and to discover new and more sustainable ways in which to be in our world.”
Jessica is drawn to both traditional and modern yoga, dance and movement practices that are sustainable, authentic and therapeutic in nature. She draws from these to create sessions in which the emphasis is on listening to your inner wisdom, nourishing your body and mind and creating long term, life-sustaining, change, growth and development. She believes everyone can do yoga – it doesn’t matter how old, how big, how inexperienced or how uncertain you are – yoga is a practice for ALL people.
Bali is a stunning location to dive into your health and wellbeing and Jessica looks forward to sharing this special time with you.
