Derick Brassard, Forward New York Rangers NHL

I have been working with JL since the summer of 2012 on my mobility and range of motion to name a few.  Her keen sense of awareness for what I need as a professional athlete in the off season is exactly what keeps me in the game.   The exercises and mobility work that I do with JL have made me stronger as my range of motion has improved tremendously.

Garilyn Whitney

I've done many PT sessions with JL in her studio. I feel more focused during a PT session and it makes me actually go work out having someone waiting for me and motivating me to work. JL is an experienced, knowledgeable trainer & the bonus of training in her studio is that her pack (Blue, River & Kilo) are always there. I enjoy the privacy of a PT session but she also offer group fitness, so there's something for everyone.

Joe Eppele, Offensive Lineman Ottawa Redblacks CFL

Prior to working with JL I had accepted the fact that my career as an athlete, and the resulting injuries/surgeries, had left me with permanent limits in my range of motion. With JL's help I've seen huge gains in my mobility as well as a noticeable reduction in the associated pain.

Philippe Trudeau, Goalie Bridgeport Sound Tigers


As an athlete in the OHL, it is particularly important that I maintain my flexibility to achieve optimal performance.  JL's unique combination of yoga and mobility training works for me!! I have done other types of yoga but I find her classes challenging and extremely effective.... I always leave feeling more agile.  I highly recommend "JL Core" -- it has certainly become an essential part of my training regime.

JL’s program not only teaches players how to stretch, activate their muscles and increase their mobility, but also provides them with a fundamental understanding of muscular-skeletal structure, proper terminology and best practices for elite athletes. The results are noticeable through improvements in flexibility, mobility and self-awareness while being delivered in a fun and challenging environment.

Joe De Sena, Spartan Race founder

JL is a trail blazer when it comes to innovative approaches that improve the overall performance of elite and professional athletes.  Her intense combination of YIN yoga and mobility training is a revolutionary method for eradicating pain, improving overall mobility and reducing the risk of injury.  If you haven’t tried one of her renowned “MOGA” classes – you should....even the most ardent “jock” can’t help but become a “true believer”

I'm a long distance runner on hiatus this summer recovering from an injury. Been at physio for 2 months and after just one of your yoga classes, I felt better than the last 2 months of physio. Ran 5k today for the first time without pain ... thanks JL!!

John Beasley, Chief Manager

I have had the pleasure to have JL work with me at our resort in the Bahamas.  She has conducted personal training and group yoga.  Her energy,  knowledge and aggressive approach to wellness training is very impressive.  My wife has experienced her remarkable knowledge in mobility therapy; yielding significant results for her.  My only problem,  as stated in the islands,  is she isn't in Nashville where we could use her routinely.  JL has become part of family at Grand Isle.

Fitness Enthusiast & Goaler U Mom

I train almost everyday and have for years, whether it's for the next marathon or half, I'm always looking to improve my fitness levels (and my times). I incorporate regular strongman and strength workouts into my schedule along with proper stretching. After taking one of JL Core Yoga  classes (with my son's hockey team), I realized what all the hype was about (and what I was missing in my training plan).

JL's carefully explained and demonstrated exercises brought my muscles much needed relief and restored my flexibility. My son, a goalie on a competitive hockey team looks forward to JL's sessions. After the classes he says, " I feel so much more limber and flexible after that". We are both looking forward to our next session! Thanks JL!!

I've been going to JL Core for close to a year now and love it! The smaller class size allows for more personalized training and individual attention. JL is great at motivating us to work harder and achieve our goals. The classes are fun, the atmosphere is great and JL is awesome!

My son (a goalie) has been going to JL Core every week for almost a year now for the youth training and he absolutely loves it! He looks forward to going every week and I have seen such a big difference in his confidence, stamina, agility and strength on and off the ice. JL is amazing and I would highly recommend her to both youth and adults!
