- back to teachers -

Jen went to her first yoga class in college where she instantly fell in love with yoga!  She had so much fun trying to do the different poses and greatly enjoyed the flowing movement of the sequences.  She soon discovered some of the wonderful yoga studios in Manhattan, where she was able to not only nourish her physical practice, but was introduced to the philosophy and history of the yoga tradition.  Jen sees the asana practice as a powerful tool to uncover the spiritual self – using the physical body to free the subtle body.  Jen graduated from Laughing Lotus’s College of Yoga where her teachers, Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi, inspired her to teach from personal experiences and to see teaching as an offering of the heart.  In her classes, Jen encourages the union of movement and breath as a way of unlocking the inner stillness and peace that signify the true Self.  She recently trained with Karma Kids Yoga, an experience that has helped reinforce her sense of fun and playfulness into her teaching.  The devotion and passion that Jen has for the practice is what has led her to teach – she loves yoga and is eager to share her enthusiasm for this beautiful practice with others.  She is forever grateful to all of her teachers and spiritual gurus that continuously inspire her along this journey.
