Alignment Therapy Workshops
If you have discomfort, injury, or a chronic condition...
You’re probably feel exhausted from going to different practitioners, paying tons of money, getting a bit of relief and then finding yourself where you started in a few days.
Or maybe you’ve given up and decided to live with it…
Either way – welcome to Alignment Therapy!
Hi I’m Jessica Jennings, MS. I combine my background in Kinesiology with more than 20 years of teaching therapeutic yoga to help people relieve their own pain, and support healing over time.
Alignment Therapy isn’t about “good posture” or “straight spine.” It’s about understanding your patterns, and learning to subtly – but powefully! – move muscles, bones, awareness and breath in a direction that supports space, strength, play, power, and freedom.

The Five Sacred Steps of Alignment Therapy
Over the 20+ years I spent helping people out of pain with a combination of Kinesiology and yoga, I developed a pretty simple system to understand what an a particular body area might need to feel better and heal.
With roots in Anusara Yoga, alignment-based yoga uses the five elements as a sort of “checklist” to see what might be needed to find balance and healing:
SPACE - Receptivity
We’ll explore where you might need space in your body, starting with the breath. Generally, compression is involved in all muscoloskeletal issues, so we’ll identify where we might need some more space for circulation and prana to flow with ease.
EARTH - Resistance
Wherever we have space we need stability. What muscles are forgetting their job to hold us in alignment? We’ll wake them up, engage, and create strength in that area with a firm but loving hug in.
WATER - Release
Deep within our hips and shoulders we have muscles that tend to group when we’re stressed – and stay gripped long after. We’ll release these so we can get a little playful, flowy energy back in to our hips and shoulders.
FIRE - Rootedness
What does it mean to engage our core without sucking the belly, flattening the back, or any of the other common actions that create more misalignments? We’ll learn how to root in to the support that’s within us – so we feel more support where we need it.
AIR - Radiance
Once we’ve got space, stability, release in the deep hip flexors and support from our core – we get to actively expand. This is the “stretch” in any pose – and the moment that healing happens: when circulation, nerves, lymph and prana flow in a whole new way through you. Enjoy!
