About Me

My name is Yesica Rodriguez. When I started practicing yoga more than 15 years ago, I realized that yoga asana is one of many gateways to the journey inward. What you experience in your body, you can feel in your heart.  I was drawn to yoga because of how beautifully it can accommodate people of all shapes and sizes, differing abilities and walks of life. 

Born in Puerto Rico but raised on the East Coast, I felt like I was from two different places but not completely from either.  This experience inspired me to travel and build connections with people from different cultures and backgrounds.  This also informs my teaching style, as I prioritize making sure that class feels accessible to everyone regardless of their age, shape, ability or yoga experience. 

The physical practice of yoga is a method of more deeply knowing yourself. My class isn’t about the “right way” to do a pose.  Rather than mastering a certain pose, the focus is on how it feels in your body and on the practice. I encourage students to be curious and open to discovery in their practice. When you know yourself, you will know what you need out of your practice, whether it’s more challenge or more gentle support.  I seek to hold space for this and offer guidance without getting in the way.

I am the Mother of two boys and a fur baby named Flash.  My favorite activities include playing guitar, singing, dancing, writing, hiking, reading a good book and cooking healthy meals for my family.

I am available for private classes, corporate classes, retreats and special events. I am also available to teach prenatal modifications for yoga teacher training, prenatal yoga continuing education training and prenatal yoga teacher training.  Keep reading for my areas of specialty and my yoga education background.
