Yoga is my passion and I would love to share its gifts with you. After six years of regular practice the longing for knowledge overtook me, so I followed my heart and went to the source spending six months traveling and studying throughout India and Nepal. In 2017 I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at World Peace Yoga School in Rishikesh, and furthered my studies with Yogacharya Bharath Shetty in Mysore. I have been fortunate to return each year to Mysore and plan to for many years to come.
Yoga embodies so much more than physical movement – for me it is a true path towards inner peace. Each expression of movement an opportunity to make peace with the posture, with ourselves, and ultimately the with world we inhabit.
See you on the mat!

After years battling postpartum and major depression Jenn turned to yoga in an effort to find inner peace and quiet at the suggestion of her therapist. She began attending classes at local studios choosing gentle and restorative classes. In the quiet, dimly lit room the healing began. A regular practice invited many hours and opportunity to sit and turn inwards. Jenn was drawn to the idea of teaching in hopes of inspiring clients of all shapes and sizes to discover that yoga is for everyone. Jenn completed her 200 hour teacher training in 2020 and her 500 hour training in June 2021. Jenn teaches from a trauma aware, body positive heart space. She loves to experiment with props and you can almost always expect a giggle (or two)!
