Jessica Merwin, E-RYT 500, YACEP
Jessica Merwin is a Coherence Coach®. She teaches the ancient technologies of Kundalini Yoga and the new science of HeartMath® Heart Coherence to bring the body into a state of harmony (or coherence).
When we are in a state of coherence we can operate from the place of our fullest potential. We can think clearly, make better decisions, and access our intuitive intelligence. Not only does coherence change our state of being, it also has a positive effect on our physiology.
Jessica offers clear and specific practices delivered in approachable ways with scientific data reflecting much of the effectiveness of the techniques.
Jessica is a War Veteran who served in the United States Air Force. After she battled with emotional stress, addictions and depression for a number of years, she woke up to another way of living. She discovered Kundalini yoga, heart coherence, and meditation and felt the profound shifts it had on her internal state. She went from living in a state of stress to a state of inspired living. It made such an impact on her that she knew she had to teach and share the wisdom that has been passed down for eons through the yogis, and now the new sciences to back it up.
Jessica has over 500 hours in Kundalini Yoga Teacher training – training received in Greece and India, and holds a 200 hour RYT with Yoga Alliance. Additionally she is Certified through HeartMath as a Mentor & Coach, and is the owner of New Moon Yoga studio in Traverse City, Michigan.
What is Kundalini Tantra?
Kundalini Tantra is an ancient yogic path of inner awakening, subtle energy cultivation, and the harmonizing of body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in the Himalayan tradition, it weaves together the timeless teachings of Hatha Yoga, classical Tantra, pranayama, mantra, meditation, and the direct experience of the subtle body in addition to Kundalini Kriyas.
At its heart, Kundalini Tantra is a path of remembering and awakening to the innate intelligence within you, the spaciousness beneath the mind, and the steady current of prana that supports your entire life. Through conscious movement, breath, stillness, and sacred study, the practices open the energetic pathways and awaken your natural radiance and inner vitality.
Our lineage approaches awakening with steadiness, clarity, and respect for the body’s wisdom with a deep listening, a gentle attunement, and a gradual unfolding of inner power.
Kundalini Tantra invites you to develop steadiness of mind and depth of presence and to awaken the inner teacher through direct experience
It is a system that supports your spiritual evolution while also giving you grounded tools for daily life, teaching, and personal practice.
