Fort Collins, Colorado

Jen began practicing yoga in 2000 as a break from traditional gym workouts, discovering it as a powerful tool for stress relief while working as an entertainment journalist in Los Angeles. This initial experience led her to pursue yoga teacher training in 2011, and she has been teaching ever since, focusing on breath and mindfulness while integrating traditional yoga with modern anatomical insights. Influenced by the teachings of Sri Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar, Jen emphasizes adapting practices to individual needs for transformative experiences. She is an E-RYT-500 teacher who has trained under Sigrid Matthews, Maria Christina Jimenez, Leslie Kaminoff, Gary Kraftsow, Rod Stryker, Janet Stone, and Tracee Stanley. Her grounded, embodied approach helps students who struggle to relax find ease and presence. After moving from Los Angeles to Fort Collins during the pandemic to be closer to family, Jen enjoys hiking, skiing, and exploring Colorado with her terrier, Lady, while cherishing time with her niece and nephews.
