Today we’d like to introduce you to Jesse Mills.
Hi Jesse, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
I got my start in the world of instruction through cheerleading. Cheer was a huge part of my life and played an even bigger role in why I decided to start instructing. After working as a cheerleading coach and choreographer for a while, I wanted to change it up a bit, so I entered the world of gymnastics! Teaching recreational gymnastics taught me a ton about skill drills, proper shaping, and alignment. Over the next few years, I developed a love for floor work and tumbling. Building on my extensive knowledge of cheerleading, tumbling, acrobatics, and gymnastics – I also teach yoga! I received my yoga certification in 2019! Specializing in yin, vinyasa, and sound therapy, I founded TumblingYogi.com in 2021. TumblingYogi is an online yoga studio and professional platform created to offer my various services in Tumbling, Yoga, Cheerleading, and the Acrobatic Arts. I offer both online and in-person offerings for yoga classes, private lessons, clinics, and workshops! Through my website you can see testimonials from previous clients, upcoming events, blog posts, and view my NEW virtual class schedule and virtual library!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Creating TumblingYogi was no small task! I began during the pandemic and remember feeling so overwhelmed by all of the new content that was being made and how creative it was. I remember thinking “There are so many people doing what I am TRYING to START doing, how will I ever match up?!” Through tons of trial and error, TumblingYogi began to grow slowly but surely. I know it sounds like everyone says, “If you stay consistent, you will be a success!” and that is TRUE! I showed up for myself and TumblingYogi every day, while still teaching my regular classes for other studios – almost 2 years later, I am still growing and making mistakes. But those mistakes make you smarter and challenge you to think outside of the box.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
TumblingYogi is an online yoga studio and professional platform I created to offer my various services to my community. Specializing in Tumbling, Yoga, Cheerleading, and the Acrobatic Arts, TumblingYogi offers both virtual and in-person private lessons, Tumbling and Acro clinics, Yoga workshops, and more! On my website, you can also check out my new virtual library where I showcase my yoga specialities. Classes include yin, vinyasa, sound therapy, and inversions! I am most proud of the diversity that I get to display when it comes to being creative with my teaching and the things in which I teach. I don’t feel like I am tied to one thing, and everything I do builds or adds to another facet of my teaching. It honestly makes me feel so powerful, knowledge is one thing no one can ever take from you.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
I would like to give credit to all of the business owners who gave me a chance to teach in their spaces and allowed me to learn from my mistakes. I also I have a very strong support system at home that keeps me grounded in times when I don’t feel like a star instructor or business owner. Most of all, I have to Thant my students! Being that I teach some many different specialities, my students range in ages from 6 to late 60s! I get to experience so many walks of life and learn about their experiences as we learn to grow together. Being that I have taught for over a decade, I find that I am definetly a forever student.
