Jessica Gray

age: 35 | Instructor and Owner of TXK Yoga | Hairstylist at Shear Country

While Jessica Gray loves the connections that she has built while doing hair for the past 13 years, she felt led to branch out so she cut her time back in the salon and bought Texarkana Yoga. Never in a million years did Jessica think that God would lead her to this position, but she is so grateful to be the one to fill the previous owners’ shoes.  She explains, “Teaching yoga is not only fun but very rewarding. I love to love, and the studio allows me to do just that.  Texarkana Yoga has been special to me, along with many others, for several years.”

Jessica and her husband, Rocky, have been married for 15 years.  Together, they have worked hard to create a happy life for their children, Luke (14) and Everleigh (11).  They love spending time together as a family.  “Laughter is truly the best medicine,” Jessica responds.  “Even though I teach yoga, I also enjoy having my own private practice, too.  I also enjoy going for a hike, and like most women, I love to shop.  Traveling is definitely on the list of things that I enjoy, as well.”

 While Jessica loves to support local schools, businesses, and nonprofit organizations with donations for their causes through TXK Yoga, she also has a special place in her heart for those who are homeless.  She collects toiletry items and other personal items to donate to the Randy Sams’ Shelter; this winter, she plans to collect coats, blankets, and other items for the shelter.

Since she loves teaching yoga, in the future, Jessica sees herself phasing out of the hair business and focusing all of her attention on the yoga studio.  

Best piece of advice:
