Jessica Smith, Marketing Manager at Lacy J's, is a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. Since 2007, she has instructed a number of classes at various facilities and events in the Permian Basin. She began practicing yoga while in college to fulfill a physical education requirement, but found herself continuing to practice as her love of yoga grew and she eventually attended a teacher training right after graduation.  Jessica’s classes build a connection of the body, mind, and breath through challenging and rejuvenating poses to navigate a path of discovery to our personal strength, confidence, and authenticity.  Experimentation, adventure, honesty, and laughter are always encouraged! Jessica maintains her 'yoga student' status by attending various workshops and conferences and building her home practice.

I have always enjoyed being active and pushing myself to try new things, but once I became a mom I found it more difficult to make time to do those things. I finally made the decision one day to set aside some “me” time, get back in the gym, and take care of myself a little bit. Although it wasn’t an easy change to make, as my strength grew so did my confidence and I was reminded of the importance and enjoyment in strengthening my body and my mind. Today I am stronger, more energetic, and more confident which helps make me be a better wife and mom. I am so excited to be a part of the Lacy J team. I want to help our clients become stronger and more confident as they meet and exceed their goals!

My love for yoga began while training for a marathon as I attended a “Yoga for Runners” class in Houston and quickly fell in love with it! My instructor inspired me where I wanted to learn more about the history, challenged me to grow in my own practice and one day be able to share what I have learned with others. After the marathon, I began to branch outside of Vinyasa and started to enjoy hot, Iyengar and Power. 

I’ve always been interested in the more athletic, physical side of yoga.  Before I recently had my son, I taught yoga classes at Odessa CrossFit. The classes provided mobility improvements and gains in flexibility to counter balance with the weight lifting. I loved introducing yoga to the athletes and ultimately observed them as they grew in their practice.

Yoga will always be a passion of mine and having the ability to teach it to others makes it even that much more special.
