Jennie
Yoga Instructor
The sacred art of yoga has been my doorway to self-awareness- mind, body, spirit. It is a bridge that connects parts of ourselves towards integration and wholeness. For all the miraculous I have experienced within this practice, I cannot help but share with others. Meditation, yin yoga, vinyasa flow, and pranayama breathing exercises are my jam! These modalities are timeless and they evolve as we do.
