Hire the Best Yoga Instructors in California
Arcata, California
Stories have posture. I help artists, entrepreneurs, and wellness professionals uncover the shape & color of their story and turn it into content that is clear, authentic, and emotionally engaging. Storytelling & Creative Direction My background combines theatre, clowning, yoga, and somatic movement, which allows me to approach your story not just intellectually—but through the body and lived experience. I work with clients who want their stories to feel clear, immersive, and imaginative. Services include: • Brand storytelling • Concept & idea development • Translating complex inner experiences into engaging content • Multimedia storytelling through text, image, audio, and video My approach helps uncover what already exists beneath the surface—and shape it into a story others can feel and understand. Yoga & Somatic Movement My creative coaching is also informed by my experience teaching yoga and somatic movement practices. Areas I work with include: • Ashtanga Yoga (Primary Series) • Chair Yoga and Restorative Yoga • Personalized stretching and mobility routines • Pain relief videos • Feldenkrais movement principles • Tom Myers Anatomy Trains • Alexander Technique • Posture and embodied awareness A core question that guides my teaching is: "How do we find and embody an easeful posture without rigidity?"

Hi, I’m Jess — a book editor and yoga instructor with a background in copywriting, storytelling, and content strategy. I work with authors to refine their manuscripts so their ideas come through clearly, powerfully, and authentically. I am proficient in American-English AND British-English. **I do not use AI in my edits! I read every word and edit from a readability and flow position. I’m especially drawn to writing that explores psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and personal transformation — work that invites reflection, challenges perspective, and engages with themes like consciousness, behavior, and self-inquiry. My approach to editing is both structural and intuitive: I help strengthen clarity, flow, and narrative impact while preserving the author’s unique voice and intention. With experience across editing, writing, and narrative development, I bring both big-picture insight and careful line editing to every project. Whether shaping the overall direction of a manuscript or refining sentence-level clarity, my goal is to support authors in creating work that feels grounded, engaging, and meaningful. Alongside editing, I work as a virtual yoga instructor and mentor. I guide both students and fellow teachers through mindful movement, and offer mentorship in sequencing, cueing, and teaching development to help create more intentional and confident classes. I’m certified in Trauma-Informed Yoga as well as Yin, Vinyasa, Hatha, Power, Sculpt, and Bikram-style yoga. Services: • Book & Manuscript Editing (Developmental + Line Editing) • Copy Editing & Writing Support • Virtual Yoga Classes & Workshops • Mentorship for Yoga Teachers (sequencing, cueing, teaching guidance) If you're an author working in personal growth, spirituality, or thought-provoking non-fiction and are looking for an editor who understands both structure and depth, I’d love to collaborate. My work is rooted in helping others communicate clearly, connect deeply, and express their ideas with honesty and impact. ** I have lived a nomadic lifestyle for over 2 years. This style of life has and continues to provide me a wide perspective of life and of those who walk it. My hours may vary, but my commitment to projects stays consistent. Note that I am based in Southeast Asia.

Chino, California
Hi there! I'm a creative writer / film photographer with a focus on travel, outdoors, and wellness content. Born and raised in Southern California, I have always had a deep connection with the ocean, mountains, and great outdoors. After receiving my B.A. in Business Economics, I was curious about the world, so I spent two years teaching English in France and gained the most incredible travel experiences. This is where I discovered my passions for solo traveling, connecting with people from international backgrounds, and consistently learning new things. During my free time, you'll find me climbing, surfing, snowboarding, or doing yoga!
