Why Jenlightened?

My yoga journey started with a New Year’s intention in 2024. I was looking for another form of active recovery, and I promised to be an early-morning accountability partner to one of my dearest friends. I had no idea that I would fall in love with yoga, incorporate it into my day-to-day life, and eventually decide to work to become a certified yoga instructor.

Fast forward to May: I had the opportunity to teach classes at some amazing studios, but I knew I was searching for more and had more to offer. Through coaching and goal-setting, I decided to offer pop-ups and special events for friends and friends of friends to share my love of yoga with others. I gained more inspiration when a friend offered me the chance to teach private lessons to a very special client. I changed how I viewed teaching, and working with my client has made me a better teacher. Later, I had the opportunity to host a workshop with the amazing ladies from my hair salon, adding more experience to my journey. With the help of several friends and my husband, the idea for Jenlightened was formed.

My goal is to work with private clients or events to add a little peace to their lives through movement, breathwork, and focus (meditation). For private clients, I’ll craft sessions to help meet their individual goals. With special events, we can work together to build an event that is fun, educational, and relaxing. Overall, I really want to share my love of yoga with others and help build coping techniques for living in a stressful world.
