Instructors

Josh Schmidt (Lead Instructor)

Josh has practiced yoga and meditation for over a decade and has been teaching for the last five years. What started as a routine movement practice to help maintain balance with weight-training and sports has turned into a daily exploration of being in greater harmony with life. Josh believes that yoga is beneficial on many levels of experience; physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual - but that in order to receive these benefits one must apply the principles of yoga to the way you live. In addition to teaching yoga at MetroRock, Josh offers Life Coaching & Meditation Coaching for folks who want to expand their sense of wellbeing in every aspect of life.

Francesca has been studying and teaching yoga for over 7 years. She continues to learn and explore new ways to bring this practice into all spaces. Francesca’s mission is to recognize her students’ individuality and honor their uniqueness, trying to leave space for self-discovery during practice. Recently Francesca became a Reiki Master, this intuitive energetic healing practice aligned with her overall goals. To guide and aid anyone seeking to find moments of peace, calm, and clarity. Her classes focus on strength through alignment, always incorporating and honoring to the best of her ability the more traditional yoga practices of pranayama and meditation.

Parker Jennings

Parker (she/her) has been practicing yoga since 2015. What started as a casual activity has led into a deep practice that has helped her to reconnect her mind and body. She began as a dancer at age 3 and now is a runner, hiker, climber, yogi, and a big fan of anything that gets her outdoors. Parker received her 200 HR YTT from My Vinyasa Practice in February of 2023 and has been teaching remotely and in Brooklyn, NY for the past year. She is now located in Chelsea, and is a working actor in Boston. Parker hopes that stepping onto the mat in her class will allow you to drop into your body, find freedom, connection, and strength, both inside and out.
