Jessica Winderl

Founder AYS Norway / Atman Yoga School

Jessica lives and breathes her practice of yoga in every aspect of her life, and she believes that embracing the chaos (and magic) of being human is a radical act of spirituality.

After years spent working in law firms (and moonlighting as a ski bum in Colorado and Utah), Jessica took the leap to teaching yoga full-time. Throughout her yoga career of almost two decades, she has taught thousands of students internationally, worked as a brand ambassador for some of the biggest names in yoga, taught at large festivals across the US and Europe, written an Ayurveda book, hosted a podcast, and inspired countless students on their journey of yoga. In 2015 she founded the Atman Yoga School®.

Modern yoga is a lived practice, which has supported Jessica through the treatment of a rare cancer, immigrating to a foreign country, navigating a traumatic birth during the Covid lockdown, and the re-arrangement of identity during motherhood. It has also provided the framework for gratitude and trust in her life - from her dedication to passing along the wisdom of yoga, to meeting her future husband in a ski gondola in Switzerland. Her current favorite practice of yoga is exploring the limitless love between a mother and child. She has also found that her daily practice of patience in parenthood is the most hard-core yoga around!

Jessica lives in Hemsedal, Norway in the Scandinavian Alps with her beloved son, husband, and husky dog.
