Jenn has had a lifelong love affair with yoga. She recognized that she has always been a big stew of questions about existence and always fascinated with nature and inspired by soulful sensuality, long before learning anything about these traditions. Living and breathing the teachings began in 2009, while immersed in a 200 hour YTT with Jennifer Anne Burke of The Gentle Way of Hatha. Momentum intensified onward after a 300 hour YTT with Tiffany Nicholson-Smith of The Vichara Yoga Shala, founder of Rasha Ayuraveda Clinic & Apothecary. Extensive hours immersed in concocting healing potions, soaking up Ayuravedic curriculum and providing guidance at farmer’s markets felt timeless amidst a growing passion. Her offerings and teachings have diversified over the years to include classical Vichara Yoga, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Pre & Post Natal Yoga, Kids Yoga,. Yoga Nidra, and Yin Yoga - while highlighting the power and benefits of mediation. Her most recent venture has been the creating of a project called “Yoga in Kind”, which stems from the determination to provide Free & Inclusive yoga to the community.

Yin style yoga is the ‘quiet yet profound” practice. Poses are held longer and are static and passive compared to other types of yoga. It is complementary to other styles of yoga like Ashtanga, Vinyasa etc. The Yin asanas, (sanskrit word for poses) are to encourage the fascia and deeper tissues to release tightness, stickiness and allow life energy, Chi or prana to flow freely.

Each pose ideally is held at least 3 mins but may be shorter or longer depending on the individual. Options are offered and encouraged to feel the sensations targeting different areas.

Be open to try a yin practice. I will be honoured to teach as I continue to learn yin from my modern yoga teachers.

Benefits and enhancements Physical: stability, strength, flexibility and endurance. Mental: clarity, focus, concentration. Emotional: balance and maturity. Energetic: vitality, balance and flow Spiritual: awareness, intention, grounding and connection.
