Jenny (she/her) 

My yoga & movement practice is always evolving. As I get older and my life seems to be in constant shift, I am inspired by spaces on the trail or by the pool, in the garden or on the beach to practice healing movements. It is possible that you may encounter me on one of the bridges on Perseverance trail doing heel raises, squats and down dog. In my home, I have mats and blocks next to the stove, by my bed and on the porch to support a more fluid practice. Injury, the seasons, life-experiences and my changing-aging body are a constant guide.

 

Being creative, inquisitive and playful in my body is often how I process and heal. Weights, bands, blocks and kitchen countertops are just some of the props I use to access different postures and joy. I am invigorated by linking movements together in sequences that combine yoga postures, PT, functional fitness, meditation and metaphor. 

 

As a teacher, I offer an inquiry-based model to my students which incorporates kindness and edges, personal experience and poetry. I like to do detective work - looking for clues by examining physiology, form and lifestyle; testing hypotheses through dissection, discussion and trial and error. At the end of the day, it's not about fixing my students, (or myself) but honing tools to create shifts, uncover pockets of awareness and practice caring for ourselves with tenderness and love.

Thanks for submitting!

Land Acknowledgement: It is our privilege and honor at Auke Bay Yoga to live, work, and practice here on Lingít Aani, on the unceded territory of the Áak'w Kwáan who have resided in this area since time immemorial, and who have historically been displaced from what we know today as Berners Bay and the Auke Bay areas of D'zantiki Héeni, known by its colonized name of Juneau. 

 

We would also like to recognize our relatives of the Taku River, the T'aaku Kwáan who came to reside at Anax Ya Andagan Ye' otherwise known as South Douglas, without recognizing them would further contribute to the erasure of their very existence and the many contributions they have made to this community in the past, now, and in the future. The T'aaku are our relatives, we care for them, and are thankful for the stewardships they too will continue to make in perpetuity.

​

Gunalchéesh to the Áak'w Kwáan for your continued stewardship and guidance as we move forward together recognizing the historical and ongoing harms of colonialism. We humbly give thanks to the land and its ancestors for their wisdom, strength, and generosity. May we honor and protect this sacred earth together for generations to come.
