Hi, I’m Jessica Jennings, MS, ERYT, RPYT—founder of Ma Yoga®.
When I became a new mom – even though I’d been teaching prenatal yoga for years – I felt isolated, depleted, and mostly unprepared.
For years, I’d relied on getting to class to feel good in my body. Suddenly, I was too busy, too tired, and too overwhelmed to make that happen.
I created Ma Yoga to support women through their whole journey – from fertility through postpartum and beyond.
In nearly every language, ma means mother – like mama (妈妈) in Chinese, ema in Estonian, and maa (ما) in Persian.
In Sanskrit, ma also means the most powerful and wise – like Ma Kali, the mother of all goddesses.
After more than 25 years of working with moms and moms-to-be, I believe that when we learn to truly mother ourselves – physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually – we can begin to embody our highest, most powerful and wise Ma self.
Thank you for allowing us to support you on your own unique “Ma” journey.
Ma Yoga is proud to be part of a growing movement to uplift and support underserved birthing people in Los Angeles and beyond.
Through our nonprofit arm, MaYoga.org, we provide scholarships, advocacy, and community-based support through Ma Circles: small neighborhood classes that offer expert, nurturing care.
Ma Circles are safe, empowering spaces where every mama-to-be can find yoga, birth and postpartum prep and a supportive group “kula”, or community of the heart.
Support a mama with a gift that truly nurtures her in body, mind, and soul – perfect for baby showers!
Whether she’s pregnant, postpartum, or just in need of space to reconnect to herself, a Ma Yoga Membership offers grounding, strength, and support that’s there for her – anytime.
Sometimes the best way to support your favorite mama is to give her space to nurture herself.
