Jessica Frost

I grew up here in Walnut Creek and am an Instructional Designer by day. I am a single mother to my beautiful daughter, and Nonna to my sweet grandson.

With the ups and downs of being a full-time, working single mother, I fell in love with the community at Indigo Yoga and Pilates since being referred in 2018 and have continued to grow my practice through the many amazing teachers and offerings.

As a student of yoga, I’ve found a deep connection to mind, body, and spirit through my practice in a way that has been healing and enlightening.

As a Registered Yoga Teacher of Destiny Eurkus’ Vinyasa Flow and Healing Wisdom 200hr Teacher Training through Indigo Yoga Studio, I’ve learned the art of sequencing, philosophy of the yoga sutras, anatomy and hands-on-assist.

I am excited to share this medicine with the community at Indigo Yoga and bring awareness to the tools I’ve found beneficial to living a deeper, more connected life through mindful breath and intentional movement.

I practice what I teach.

Jinah Choi

Jinah Choi has been practicing yoga since 2013. She initially enjoyed yoga as a low-impact physical exercise and quickly learned that it provided a meaningful way to honor and connect with her body. Her journey deepened as she sought to explore yoga beyond the physical asanas, leading her to complete a 200-hour teacher training at Barefoot Movement in Oakland. She has also trained in trauma-informed yoga through Exhale to Inhale (16 hours) and prenatal yoga with Roxanna Smith (50 hours) at Indigo Yoga Studio in Walnut Creek, California. Jinah’s teaching integrates mindful breathwork, detailed alignment, and insights drawn from psychology, yoga philosophy, and Buddhist teachings. She continues to deepen her practice under the guidance of Tara at Inner Mother Yoga Studio in Seoul and is a perinatal yoga teacher apprentice with Leonora Willis at Daughter of Samoa in Oakland. Off the mat, Jinah enjoys Gong Fu tea rituals, attempting latte art at home, and staying active with strength training, pilates, gyrotonic, and golf.

Lily Manderville

Lily was first introduced to Yoga 18 years ago during a ballet summer intensive. She continued her alignment-based Yoga training with Bay Area teacher Dana Lawton (Loka Yoga Oakland) throughout her undergraduate program at Saint Mary’s College of California.
 
Lily is a Yoga Alliance-certified ERYT-500 Yoga Teacher and Continuing Education Provider. She specializes in Children’s Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Standup Paddle Board Yoga.
 
As a teacher, she enjoys learning from her students and their experiences… on and off the mat. Lily brings fun and laughter into her teaching. While keeping students grounded, she loves to create room for play!
Awaken with the sun and embrace a dynamic Yoga practice that harmonizes with the ancient teachings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the transformative Eight-Limb Path of Yoga. This mixed-level class artfully weaves breath and movement, fostering flexibility, strength, and endurance for participants ranging from active beginners to advanced practitioners.

Join us on Fridays for a special emphasis on exploring diverse Yoga philosophy themes each week, balancing self-study with energizing movement to create a comprehensive mind-body experience. Each Friday class will be divided between a short Yoga philosophy reading, discussion, and gentle Yoga movement.
