Meet Jenelle

RYT-500

I am an outdoor enthusiast and weekend warrior. My favorite activities are mountain biking, trail running, hiking, and of course yoga. I started practicing yoga in 2006 to maintain a balanced body for my outdoor hobbies. I found so much more, and I wanted to share what I found.

I completed my 200 YTT in November of 2016 from Momentum School of Yoga and my 300YTT in August of 2021 from Centered City Yoga-Yoga Soul. My yoga practice helps me navigate the ups and downs of life. Yoga allows me to connect mind and body and find beauty in all the moments of life. Yoga has and continues to broaden my lens to see more clearly, soften my heart to love more fully, and expand my mind to live more bravely. I want to give my students a safe place to breathe, tune in, connect, and move freely. In my classes you can expect to connect with your breath and challenge yourself in asana. Coming to your mat should feel like recess for your soul!
