JACKIE CANNON

Jackie has been practicing yoga for more than two decades and completed her 200-HR yoga teacher training in Radiant Body Yoga with Kia Miller. Her classes aim to help students work through physical, emotional, mental and spiritual issues on the mat so they can embody who they are meant to be off the mat. Trained in Iyengar, Ashtangha, Kundalini, restorative yoga, breathwork and meditation, Jackie blends modalities along with cathartic movements, reflection, passion, a little humor and some great tunes to create a unique and transformative experience for her students.

​

As a mama, former corporate consultant, grieving daughter and sister, and lover of the planet, Jackie has turned to yoga through it all - to strengthen and heal her body, calm her mind, and open and live from her heart.

​

Jackie believes wholeheartedly that yoga is meant for all - not just those who can afford it; or those who can land a handstand or get their feet behind their heads; or those who like to chant and sit in silence for hours; or even just us humans. That's why she founded Ment. Jackie wanted to create a space where everyone - students, teachers, communities around the globe, and the planet - could experience and benefit from the power of yoga. 

​

Originally from New Jersey, Jackie found a second home in the hustle and bustle of Washington, DC, where she lived for more than 10 years, met and married her husband, Jeremy, and gave birth to their daughter Lilly. They now reside in horse country Maryland and love visiting the local farmers’ markets, bakeries and breweries.
