Kind Words

  • "Jen is a gifted and rare teacher"

    “Jen is a Master Yoga practitioner. I have a 4 decades Yoga practice. My private sessions, group yoga attendance and Jen’s 4 day Yoga retreat has taken my yoga practice to a new level. Jens depth of understanding of anatomy and physiology is nuanced and precise, her subtle awareness of postures transcends the physical, touching and opening a sky like spaciousness. Jen is a gifted and rare teacher.”

  • "From belly laughs to bellies full of the most amazing and beautiful food, the journey was divine."

    “I’ve been to retreats all over the world and Jen’s is truly the best I’ve ever experienced. She brings a warmth to the group that opens everyone to be themselves, she heartily welcomes laughter and guides the yoga sessions masterfully. I left feeling strong, deeply nourished both physically and spiritually, and connected to myself and others. From belly laughs to bellies full of the most amazing and beautiful food, the journey was divine.”

  • "This retreat nourished my soul inside and out."

    “I attended this retreat as a means to reconnect with my sister - not only did I have the best time with her, the yoga, location and amazing food was next level. Jen was the best teacher I have been to. This retreat nourished my soul inside and out. Jen’s knowledge is bountiful and her way of teaching is encouraging and nurturing. I really cannot express enough how amazing this retreat really is. Do it for yourself, you won’t regret it!”

  • "I’ve become incredibly strong and flexible."

    “I’ve been lucky enough to have been doing yoga with Jen for about 15 years. I’ve been doing yoga for a long time and have never come across a teacher as good as Jen. My body shape totally changed over the years and I’ve become incredibly strong and flexible. Her mindful classes also helped me through a very difficult and tragic time in my life and I will always be grateful for the support she gave me. She is a very intuitive teacher and has the perfect voice (surprisingly important for yoga) and personality for teaching yoga. She’s definitely one in a million.”

    “I came to retreat and was brand new to Yoga. Jen is so amazing and professional that she could provide me all the help I needed as a complete beginner, and continue to inspire the experienced members of the group, all in the same class. I left the retreat so relaxed and revitalized and filled with so much knowledge that I now use everyday! I can not thank Jen enough for her patience, kindness and incredible knowledge.
