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.”

    “Jen delivers her retreats with an intuitive and generous practice. Jen's yoga practice is full of playful exploration, soft giving, and gentle receiving whether it be in thoughts, movement, or conversations. There are always delightful connections and friendly togetherness to be discovered with other participants. Locations are thoughtfully selected to provide an extension of your experience to deliver comfort, grounding, and communal oneness. My retreats with Jen are my body and mind resets and my time for reflection for my past, present and future self.

  • "Hands-down the best yoga teaching I’ve ever experienced"

    I attended the CoreLife Yoga retreat at Bingin Beach, Uluwatu, Bali, led by the incredible Jen. It was hands-down the best yoga teaching I’ve ever experienced—a perfect blend of strength and endurance that left me feeling vibrant and energized. Jen’s unique approach, weaving in themes of feminine empowerment, made the practice deeply meaningful and transformative.

    I went with my best friend, and we had an absolute blast! We’re already planning to make Jen’s retreats an annual tradition. If you’re looking for a rejuvenating and inspiring yoga experience, I can’t recommend this retreat enough!

    “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. I am so very blessed to have met this beautiful soul, to help me in my healing journey!”
