Jessalynn Hakanson

Teaches at Sanctuary

Humbled by the presence of breath and heart, yoga awakens grace within the movement of Jessalynn’s practice and life. Her vinyasa classes encourage a smile or two, dynamic movement, pranayama practices, and the sweet surrender of ego to reveal peace. Jessalynn’s prenatal classes, Om Grown Mamas, combine postures, breathwork, and meditations that cultivate a nurturing source of strength and confidence while empowering the transformation in pregnancy and birth with grace. Practicing yoga since 2001 and sharing her experiences since 2004, Jessalynn holds certifications in prenatal, postnatal, and a 200 hour RYT yoga certificate through the Yoga Center of Minneapolis. She has a background in various styles such as vinyasa, ashtanga, jivamukti, yin, and restorative. Jessalynn is grateful to her teachers in Minneapolis and all her fellow practitioners along the way.
