We had the good fortune of connecting with Jerrelle Wilson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jerrelle, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is embracing my authentic self.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What makes my practice so different is that I try to cultivate and understand all body types and backgrounds that come to practice with me. I want the world to know it is possible for all people to have a sustainable and efficient movement practice that continues to be accessible and challenging on their own terms.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my friends are visiting we are grabbing drinks at Swan Bar in north park and eating at fortunate son later that evening. We would the next day eat at surf and soul in La Mesa. Take my yoga class at mission beach fit athletic that over looks the beach and end with dinner cooked by me relaxing together and enjoying the evening

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I dedicate my shoutout to my mom and dad. They have always been realistic and supportive of me when I look at new life adventures. My dad is my favorite yoga student and continues to impress me daily.
