My name is Jaclyn Ross. I'm a 200-HR RYT Yoga Teacher, an 85-hour Shanti Mom Prenatal Yoga Teacher and a Certified Health Education Specialist. In my classes, you can expect alignment-focused poses with breath and meditation work that is appropriate for all levels.

I began my yoga journey in college, when I took a semester-long class at the University of Cincinnati. In this class, I was exposed to a variety of yoga styles including Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Yin. I fell in love with how yoga could be so versatile in style and accessibility. Since this class I had the dream of being a yoga teacher, but the timing was never right. I continued to practice on my own and at various studios over the years. Fast forward to 2019, I was an overwhelmed elementary school teacher expecting my first child. I began taking a weekly prenatal yoga class to relieve stress and help with the aches and pains of pregnancy. I immediately fell in love with prenatal yoga and hoped to teach one day.

In March 2020, my daughter was born and the pandemic hit. I decided to leave elementary education and set out to follow my dreams of becoming a yoga teacher and balancing the stay-at-home-mom life. I have since completed my 200 & 300 HR YTT through Uplifted Yoga with Brett Larkin and an 85-hour prenatal yoga course with Shanti Mom Yoga while being pregnant with my second daughter. I love to learn, teach, and connect with my students. I am in the thick of motherhood myself and have developed a passion for providing moms with a safe, supportive space to relax and connect with themselves, baby, and other mamas.
