Jessie Davies
Lead Trainer, E-RYT 500
Owner of Freebird Yoga Studio in Mechanicsburg Pa & Creator/Lead Trainer of Freebird Yoga Academy, Jessie began her yoga journey in 2006 after seeking a way to balance her career as a licensed massage therapist and her self care routine. She fell in love immediately. After practicing for a few years she began to dream up what it would look like to share this beautiful practice with others.
Jessie completed her first 200 hour teaching certification with Baptiste affiliates Evolution Power Yoga in 2014. Her love for learning & curiosity for the practice kept her growing! She has since completed an additional 200 hours with both House of Yoga in York city and most recently Patrick Beach & Carling Harps Awakening Yoga Academy based in Seattle. Jessie graduated from her 300hr leadership teacher training with Create Karma of Lancaster, earning her E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance. Prior to opening Freebird Studio she has co-lead multiple 200hr training programs in York and has graduated close to 50 teachers. A student of the practice for over 18 years and teaching for the past 10 Jessie has accumulated thousands of hours both on and off the mat. “This practice has given me so much…to share the magic and possibilities with others is truly my life’s work”
Brooke H, York
"It was an honor to be taught and mentored by Jessie through the process of becoming a yoga teacher. Not only is Jessie thorough in her knowledge of anatomy and how the body moves, she also is passionate about honoring and providing support for all bodies. Jessie has continued to inspire me personally & professionally with her perseverance, dedication, and commitment to lead with integrity to the practice of yoga and spirit of authentic, wholehearted, badass-ness. She’s a wonderful mix of spicy and sweet with a huge compassionate heart for others healing & growth. You not only want a teacher like Jessie, you NEED a teacher like Jessie."
