Jen is a native New Yorker who moved to DC in January 2009. She began her journey into yoga in 1996 to help combat the stress of life as a NYC public school teacher, and since then has made yoga an integral part of her world. She completed her 200-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher training at Sonic Yoga in NYC in 2006, under the guidance of Lauren Hanna and Jonathan Fields. She was trained in both Prana Flow yoga and Power yoga styles, reflecting her teachers' diverse backgrounds.

The variety in her training has served her well, and made her practice and teaching style well rounded. As a mother of two sweet boys (Zack and Max), she is ever more thankful for yoga, which has proven invaluable both physically and mentally throughout parenthood. Jen has also taught prenatal, postnatal, children's and family yoga classes. She is also trained to teach yoga to children with special needs, which has proven helpful in supporting her younger son, who is autistic. She has been teaching since the fall of 2006, and loves to help her yoga students find greater peace, strength and mobility through yoga.
