Jessica Lizardo
Jessica discovered her love for yoga asana in 2010. After many years of studying to become a classical cellist, she decided to channel her devotion to music into her new found love for yoga asana. Awareness of the immediate impact this practice had on her mental and emotional wellbeing led her to pursue a 200-hr RYT training, and through exposure to the different practices of movement, and contrology, opened up her world to Pliates. She started teaching yoga in 2014 and became trained in the Power Pilates Mat series in 2019. She has taught yoga asana in studios and community centers in Orange County, as well as a trauma-informed yoga series at her alma maters, the University of Southern California and UC Irvine and through mental health and trauma center in Burlingame. She is proud to have been a part of the Rise BodyWorks community since 2019 and carries the same trauma-informed lens and approach in her teaching through the use of language and modifications, and facilitates safe exploration of exercises in students’ bodies. In addition to teaching and practicing, Jessica provides mental health services for youth and families, seeks to deepen her knowledge and skills in these professions, and hopes to merge her skills in ways that help others experience a sense of freedom and alignment in both body and mind. In her down time, she enjoys exploring the greater outdoors with her doberman and going on food adventures with her loved ones.

Pilates and Barre share striking similarities in their approach to fitness. Pilates focuses on precise exercises that improve posture and muscle tone through deliberate, controlled movements. It enhances core strength and flexibility while promoting overall body alignment. Similarly, Barre incorporates ballet-inspired movements and small, repetitive exercises to sculpt muscles and promote flexibility. Both disciplines prioritize mindfulness and the mind-body connection, essential for achieving physical well-being and a toned physique.
At Rise Bodyworks, these fitness methods are seamlessly integrated into their programs. Whether you choose Pilates or Barre, you’ll experience a holistic approach to fitness that not only strengthens the body but also enhances mental focus and overall wellness. The combination of precise movements and mindful engagement makes Pilates and Barre effective choices for individuals seeking comprehensive fitness routines at Rise Bodyworks.
Pilates and Yogalates at Rise Bodyworks offer distinct yet complementary fitness approaches. Pilates focuses on precise movements to strengthen the core, improve flexibility, and align the body through controlled exercises, promoting enhanced posture and muscle tone. In contrast, Yogalates integrates Yoga’s mindfulness and relaxation techniques with Pilates’ core-strengthening benefits, incorporating breath control and flexibility exercises for a holistic fitness experience.
Both Pilates and Yogalates programs at Rise Bodyworks emphasize the connection between physical health and mental well-being. Participants benefit from tailored sessions that support their fitness goals, promoting overall strength, flexibility, and wellness. Whether practicing Pilates or Yogalates, individuals at Rise Bodyworks enjoy comprehensive fitness programs that foster balanced living and lasting health benefits.
