JESS ERB

Classical Pilates Instructor 

Licensed Massage Therapist

E-RYT 500

Jess is a yoga teacher and teacher trainer who expanded her movement practice to Pilates in 2021. In a bid to manage hip pain and fibromyalgia, she first started consistent practice at Movewell, with Amy. Since then, she’s attended Rebel Pilates Collective classical training. 

Informed by her journey into fat liberation, the core philosophy of yoga, bodywork, and somatics, Jess’ philosophy of movement is one of joy, wellbeing, and vitality rather than aesthetics or burning/torching/shredding. Movement can be a healing opportunity and enhance the enjoyment of life! Make no mistake, though, this does not necessarily mean easy or forgoing goals for vibes. She loves to meet you right where you are and guide you to where you want to go, finding playfulness as you go.

Supporting this philosophy is over 13,000 hours of training, teaching, and professional practice. From traditional Chinese cupping, Thai yoga massage, and myofascial release, to power yoga, yoga for every body, and gentle somatic yoga, to classical Pilates, Jess has built skills through her passion for learning and working with others for over a decade.

-Leah

“Jessica is an amazing pilates instructor! She made me feel super comfortable as someone new to Pilates. Cannot recommend enough!”

-Rachel 

“Jess is an absolutely amazing instructor!!! I had never done Pilates before and was intrigued but also scared to try it. Jess was the BEST, she took things at my speed, never made me feel silly for mis-understanding a direction or needing something to be shown to me another time. Her understanding of anatomy is also insane, I learned so much about my body!!”

-Anneliese

“When I took class with Jess I really felt both comfortable and challenged. Her explanations/cues allowed me to understand the technique and proper form in a way I previously did not!”

-Erin

“Pilates with Jess opened up a whole new world for me!!! I’ve always felt safe and secure, which allowed me to PLAY! Her knowledge of the body, how it moves, and real time “bus stops” and options to make moves accessible in my body allowed me to try new movements I never had the confidence to try before. Highly recommend.”

-Ana
