Jess Schlesinger

Jess Dene Schlesinger began practicing yoga 17 years ago in an attempt to manage the physical and emotional pain resulting from various disabilities and traumas. She found, however, that most yoga classes she attended were not accessible for her needs. Jess continued to practice yoga on her own and explored various spiritual, psychological, and physical tools for healing personal and sociological trauma. Access-Centered Yoga combines the trauma informed language she learned from the Niroga Institute, Disability Justice, and her lived experience as a sick and disabled queer.
