We open at our new location at 3410 Clairemont Rd March 14th!! Stay tuned for all the fun details!!!

My teacher, champions the “animal crouch” in preparing to jump through or even jump forward. It prepares the body to move dynamically, as though propelled by a slingshot. Join DG April 4-5 . Along with many of my students, I look flare to seeing you there!

Helps to have your best buddy to navigate this life!

Tired of the rain? Come hang out with my sunny disposition on your mat this week 😂 My schedule this week: 9:30T/Th Asana lab. Friday noon basics of Hatha yoga. Saturday SUB alert 10AM V F! Come, take practice.

Dare to dream. Dare to try. Dare to “fail” (which is really just a code word for “learn” and/or evolve). Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The only regrets you will have in life are not what you did do and did not succeed, but what you never tried because you were afraid. * I swore I would never open another yoga school, but here I am. All I can say is that and I feel so strongly that it is our dharma to teach authentic yoga to ANYONE who wants to learn that we just decided it had to happen. And we are only a month or so out from opening our doors at 3410 Clairemont! Pinch me! I’m dreaming!! 📸 .hotography

Yay! Part two of my workshop series on the basics of Hatha yoga is this Sunday! Are you new to yoga or do want to dive deeper in to the how and the why? If the answer is yes, come take practice this Sunday!

Home practice with 6 dogs is... interesting 😂 and joyful ❤️ Lonii tends to watch my whole practice, while the others come and go.

Guess what? Build out has FINALLY started for long term home!!! Lonii, and I went and checked it out today and it is going to be RAD.

I am so excited to guest teach at Ashtanga House of Yoga on Sunday, January 26th!

During this two-part course, we will use the "allies" (breath, bandhas, drishti, gunas, vayus, elements, spotlights, anatomical planes, imagery, etc.), as well as props, to experience Surya Namaskar, standing asana, backbending and salamba sarvangasana as you never have before.
*
Be prepared to work hard, laugh and leave with a deep knowledge of these asana that will translate directly to your practice.
*
Students will need to bring socks, as well as mat towel. We will use these items for a deeper comprehension of the asana and transitions. We also ask that students prepare and send in questions regarding their practice. All questions can be sent directly to Jennifer or emailed/ messaged to Ashtanga House of Yoga.
*
While students may attend only one session, they would get a lot more out of coming to both. The first course time is from 10am-12pm and the second is from 1-3pm. Preregistration is required! We only have limited seating. Each course is $60. However, if you do both, the total price is $100 please link to our website in our bio to register!

If you don’t know me already, I am a mother, wife, friend, dog rescuer, epic curser, dedicated student of yoga, lover of life, nature ju**ie, avid reader, coffee lover, silly woman who loves a joke, serious student.

I am so excited to be invited into the community at Ahoy! Message me if interested and please feel free to share!
