Jessi Ceiri is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Original Hot Yoga Instructor, Yoga Foster Kids Yoga Instructor, Level One Thai Bodywork Therapist, and RCAA Certified Running Coach. She currently works at Loyola University Maryland while also coaching clients and teaching in the Baltimore area.
As a trainer, Jessi has a passion for helping people incorporate fitness into their lives in a way that works for them. She believes movement should be accessible and sustainable for people of all ages. Jessi enjoys building workout programs that combine strength, balance, mobility, and cardiovascular training to create a well-rounded approach to fitness. Her coaching philosophy emphasizes balance, rest, and listening to your body, and she believes that combining physical fitness with personal development helps people build confidence and a lifelong relationship with movement.
Jessi teaches 90-minute Original Hot Yoga classes and holds a 300-hour yoga certification. She loves the mental and physical challenge that hot yoga offers and enjoys helping students develop strength, focus, and resilience through their practice.
She is also trained in Thai Yoga Bodywork, having completed a Level One Thai Bodywork Certification taught by Francisco Morales Bermudez. Jessi conducts comprehensive 90-minute sessions that incorporate massage techniques, assisted stretching, and traditional energy line work. Her bodywork practice is complemented by her knowledge of breathwork, meditation, and the history and principles of Thai massage, allowing her to offer a holistic approach to recovery and self-care.
As a runner, Jessi has participated in everything from Girls on the Run events and 5Ks to several marathons. She has ten years of experience coaching athletes for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon distances. Coach Ceiri believes in a training approach that combines running with strength training and mobility work to help athletes arrive at the start (and finish) line healthy and strong.
Jessi is a former elementary school PE teacher and enjoys working with people of all ages and fitness levels. Outside of work, she loves reading, watching reruns of FRIENDS, and spending time with her two dogs. You can often find her relaxing on the couch with a good book (and probably thinking about pizza).
