Jessica Kung
Meditation
Jessica Kung is a yogini, artist, designer, and thought leader. She began her training in yoga in 1998 at Jivamukti Yoga in New York City and became a certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher in 2003 while still in college. She started Yogis at Yale immediately after, and completed her thesis on yoga and the expression of architecture, pioneering a multi-disciplinary approach joining art, architecture, and Yogic studies. 20 years later she is still efflorescing her initial research through her work leading the Make Conscious studio practice. She is now a practicing artist/designer leading creative teams and building projects around the world that challenge the status quo by reconnecting consciousness, energy, and the body in the creation of space, site, brands, and institutions.
All spaces are visionary. From 2010-2012 she completed a deep retreat of 450 days of silence with Stéphane Dreyfus during which she completed the practices of Vajrayana Buddhism alongside her art practice. When she left retreat, she started Triveni Yoga with Stéphane and certified hundreds of Triveni Yoga teachers. Most recently she has reconnected with her ancestral lineages and is continuing her studies through Taoist, Nyingma, Emei, and Shaolin schools of inner and outer alchemy, landscape, qigong, and kung fu.
She has published two books and exhibited and performed her artwork at museums and galleries around the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, LACMA, Centrale Montemartini in Rome, Italy, the The Battery in San Francisco, CA, and the European Art Center in Xiamen, China. She is also a leader in the AAPI community and supports AAPI ancestral healing. Jessica has a B.A. in Architecture cum laude from Yale University, and an M.F.A. from California College of the Arts.
