Jenstar Movement Studio

Meet Lauren. 💪🏼

Lauren’s Jenstar story started the way the best ones do. A bestie, a free summer yoga class, and Jen on a deck doing what Jen does. It was a highlight of the summer and when Jen invited everyone to try a free class at the studio, Lauren said yes. The rest is history.She will tell you that yoga can feel intimidating when you are new, and she is not wrong. But what kept her coming back was the way Jen and the whole team of teachers make every single level feel welcome. The modifications, the encouragement, the way they pump you up just for showing up. That is the thing about Jenstar. You leave feeling better about yourself than when you walked in.

Lauren works weekly with people who have lost much of their mobility, and that work has given her something quietly profound. She sees movement as a joy and a privilege. Every squat, every warrior pose, every barre sequence. Not a chore. A gift. That kind of perspective changes everything about how you show up on the mat.

Her go-to classes? Ryan’s morning strength on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Saturday Vinyasa with Jen. Sunday Barre and Yoga with Ashley. She has basically built her whole week around starting her days right and we respect that completely.

And her perfect self care day outside the studio? A hike at the Arboretum Trail at UWGB on a sunny cool day with a breeze and great music in her headphones. The best zero dollars you can spend, she says. We could not agree more. 🍂

So glad a deck and a bestie brought you to us Lauren. 💕

Change often happens so slowly that we don’t even notice it while it’s happening.

It’s rarely one big moment. More often, it’s little snapshots stacked up over time — the choice to show up, try again, or simply keep going.

Growth can be hard to recognize when you’re standing right in the middle of it.

But one day, you’ll look back and realize you’re stronger, wiser, even more grounded than you were before.

Don’t underestimate the small shifts. They add up! Keep showing up for you.🐛🦋

Meet Karie! 🤘🏼

Karie joined Jenstar in June 2025 after moving back to the area following 22 years in Denver. That is a big transition. A new city, a familiar place that somehow feels different, and the quiet work of starting over in a space you once knew. She walked through the door and everyone was friendly and welcoming, and that mattered more than she might have expected. It made her feel a little less alone.

She will tell you that “wiggle management” is life. 🔥 And honestly that might be our new favorite way to describe what happens here at Jenstar. It makes her stronger and more focused in every area of her life and we love that she owns that so completely.

Ask her what her favorite class is and she will tell you she loves them all, which feels very on brand for someone who shows up with that kind of energy.

Outside the studio Karie is all about the outdoor adventures, paddle boarding, hiking, music turned up loud, and time with the people she loves. A full and beautiful life. 🤍🥾🎶🏄🏼‍♀️

And the thing that might surprise you about Karie? She is wickedly sarcastic. Her words. We are absolutely here for it. 😂

So glad you found your way back home, to YOU, Karie. And so glad you found us along the way. 🌀

A picture can be worth 1,000 words…

Yesterday after class - I snapped this pic. Looking at it brings me SO MUCH JOY because it represents in real time connection and community! All of these lovely people were laughing and chit-chatting with each other while putting away props.

While every class you attend is about YOU (I get some days people don’t want to be social) - it’s the moments like these (before and after class) that can enhance our feeling of community and connection. We don’t have to go through life’s ups and downs alone!

I love how many people have connected within the studio. It’s really one of the stand out things that makes Jenstar Movement Studio a special place to be!

Meet Eric! 🧘🏻‍♂️

Eric walked through the Jenstar door at the end of February after a 25 year break from yoga. Twenty five years. He signed up for our two week trial, quietly challenging himself to make it to more than one class. Safe to say the challenge worked.

What got him in the door was a friend’s recommendation and a lot of glowing reviews online. What kept him there was something simpler. He was greeted by name the moment he walked in. And nobody made him set his mat up at the front. Sometimes the little things really do matter. 😊

Eric takes his practice seriously in the most beautiful way. For him yoga is not just about the poses. He tries to weave all eight limbs into everything he does, which tells you everything about the kind of person he is. Thoughtful. Intentional. All in.

If he had to pick a favorite it would be the Friday pop-up classes with a musical theme, because Eric loves music. But honestly every class feeds his soul a little differently and he will be the first to tell you that.

Outside the studio he is an early riser who gets everything done by noon so he can nap in the afternoon and spend his evenings with the people he loves. Honestly a perfect system.

And the thing that might surprise you? Eric was a vegetarian for 40 years. 🌱

We are so glad you challenged yourself that day Eric. You inspire us right back. 🤍
