Jen's yoga is accessible, and doable with variations always offered so ALL bodies can take part.

Jen’s classes have been life-changing. For someone with physical limitations, a lot of classes aren’t an option. In Jen’s classes, there are always options I can do and it genuinely feels ok to take a different option. On top of that my strength and flexibility is up which makes other tasks easier. Most special is Jen herself who has an amazing ability to make the day brighter.
