When it comes to coaching and teaching, Jen sure makes you feel comfortable. Her knowledge about yoga, indoor cycling, and strength training really stand out. Her diverse knowledge drives her proper instruction and techniques. She's a great teacher to train with and it's a great experience every time!

"I have attended yoga classes overseen by at least a dozen different instructors in the past year. Jen was recommended to me by another yogi, and I was so impressed that I have built my weekly practice around her schedule even though her practice is at a gym further from home. She’s worth the drive."

"As a massage therapist I know the importance of taking care of one's body. This rad outdoor yogi [Jen] helps me get grounded by focusing on synchronicity of breath with a properly executed pose. Love the unique philosophical analogies she intertwines throughout the flow--tuning up mind and body, feeling very connected to the earth and my own soul.
Side effects: Sometimes I get so happy after a class with Jen I feel like I'll explode into a million twinkling stars
{poetic insight may vary}."

"Jennifer is very detail oriented and has an intuitive sense for instructing a fluctuating group of regular and new students each week, tailoring the class to do what is best for that given night. More specifically, Jennifer demonstrates multiple options for each pose or flow in order to give new students the support they need and more advanced yogis an opportunity to expand their practice. Her approachable and positive attitude makes for a great atmosphere in the yoga studio, which ultimately creates a space for collective and personal growth. She is always available after class to answer specific questions or to help further guide students on their path."

"From the very first class I took with Jen...I always felt absolutely amazing! Her energy is awesome & she radiates positivity. I learned that [yoga is] not just about physical flexibility, but so much deeper--it's also about the mental and spiritual strength & flexibility that goes right along with it. She is such a great teacher of this. Next time I'm down in SoCal, I'll be sure to find out when and where her next class will be!"

My experience during yoga in Jennifer's classes are beyond relaxing. In the past I have taken some yoga classes, but never took the time to really acknowledge the beauty of yoga. Jen's classes were the jump start to improving my yoga practice--while also taking the time to learn more about yoga and its history.

"I began doing Yoga with Jen about six months ago. I had never even set foot in a yoga studio, and had no idea what to expect. From the moment Jen walked into the room, I felt a sense of ease. She greeted the class warmly, and then had us begin in Child's pose. Throughout the class I definitely felt challenged, but also confident. Jen would help me with my alignment for the more complex poses. By the end of class, I was very relaxed, yet motivated to pursue my yoga practice, and have been attending classes every week since.
Jen is an excellent instructor. She's passionate about her practice, and is always trying to incorporate new ideas and concepts in the class. Whether you're a seasoned Yogi, or a brand new beginner, you can never go wrong with Jen."

"I originally started working out with Jennifer a couple years ago doing a Bodyworks class. She teaches a full body strength training class with weights. From the first time I went I loved it. A lot of it has to do with her. She is such a warm and caring person that you forget she is pushing you as hard as she does.
Jennifer has made our class a community. Because of this wonderful workout class I started taking her yoga class at the start of the year. This is 100% because of her. I have never taken yoga but Jennifer has so much knowledge. She works with everyone at all levels. She makes everyone feel comfortable. This is a great class for anyone who wants to relax and have a great workout at the same time. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great yoga class with a great instructor."

I so look forward to Sunday mornings at LA Fitness taking Jen's Bodyworks class. It is so much fun! We all laugh and tell jokes while we are working out every part of our bodies! Jen is so calm and sweet and inspires us to try our best and be the best we can be! I wish she taught more classes at our gym. Even my 12 year-old daughter loves her class!

As an occupational therapy patient of Jennifer's I was very impressed by the way she incorporated her yoga techniques into my therapy sessions. I was a complete novice to this wholistic approach. Jennifer was excellent. She made me feel very welcome to this mind/body discipline of one's own life improvement. I highly recommend her!

I was very fortunate to be part of Jen's Functional Fitness Zoom class during Covid. I was trying to get in shape for my upcoming knee replacement surgery but was not able to exercise at my gym. Jen's class provided me with one of the best all around exercise programs I have ever had. I attribute a big part of my quick surgical rehab to the excellent conditioning achieved through my workouts with Jen. Her positive attitude and encouragement always made it fun. Thanks, Jen!
