hi, i'm jennifer.
I first found yoga in high school at the local YMCA. After nearly 15 years of practicing (off and on in my free time), I rediscovered a passion for yoga after a challenging year, and committed to a regular practice. Two years later, I decided it was time to dive deeper and accomplish my goal of getting a yoga teacher certification.
In 2020, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training with Steph Ball-Mitchell of Yoga and Ayurveda Center. In 2023, I completed an advanced 300-hour yoga teacher training at Yoga and Ayurveda Center. To expand my knowledge and practice, I have pursued additional certifications in chair yoga, restorative yoga and yoga for mental health. I enjoy introducing people to yoga and helping them find emotional and mental relief from life’s everyday stresses.
​
I teach small group and private classes in person in Arizona and online, as well as at VASA Fitness Chandler and Yoga's Arc (a mobile yoga studio in Arizona with corporate and nonprofit partners across the state).


My Teaching Philosophy
I aim to introduce people to yoga and the impact it can have for emotional and mental relief from life’s everyday stresses. I’m passionate about making yoga accessible for everyone.
