Meet the Instructors

Hello there, I am Mrs. Jessica Hokanson director and lead instructor of the Tiny Tumbler Gym.  My passion for gymnastics started while watching the Olympics as a young girl, I was lucky enough to train as a gymnast for 11 years (completing Level 6) then moved on to competing in varsity basketball, softball and track while in high school.  I earned a Bachelor of Science in Educational Studies from the University of Missouri in 2010 and am certified in safety/risk management through USA Gymnastics.
 
I coached competitive and instructional gymnastics for 10 years at JC Gymnastics before taking over and assisting with our new Tiny Tumbler location.  I currently reside in Ashland, MO with my husband and two young girls.  I look forward to building lifelong bonds and a love for the sport with all her potential and current students, through engaging and encouraging class experiences.

Hello there, I’m Mrs. Sarah Brower and I’m a preschool gymnastics teacher and co-manager of Tiny Tumbler Gym! My love for gymnastics began back when I was in 3^rd grade and continued all the way till competing in Level 7. I then began teaching gymnastics when I was 14 and have found a passion teaching it ever since! I acquired my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology back in 2013 and was a certified USAG judge back in 2010.
 
 I’ve worked with both YMCA Gymnastics and JC Gymnastics before assisting in the opening of Tiny Tumblers. I am so happy to be here in the exciting new Tiny Tumbler Gym at the Capital City Mall. I live in Jefferson City with my husband of almost 6 years and love seeing my students learn they can achieve great things and have fun in the process! Come say hi when you’re in the mall, I can’t wait to help your little one grow through gymnastics!
