Yoga & Wellness

Jen is a yoga teacher, studio founder, and student of yoga therapy whose work is rooted in the belief that practice can be both accessible and deeply transformative.

She began practicing yoga in 2008 and, after years of personal practice, completed her 200-hour teacher training in Costa Rica. What began as a personal practice gradually became a larger exploration of the relationship between movement, attention, breath, embodiment, and wellbeing. She has since completed multiple yoga trainings and certifications spanning different approaches to movement, including Children's Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, Himalayan Sound Healing, and Reiki Healing.

In 2025, she founded Yoga Muse in New York City with the goal of creating a welcoming, accessible space where people could experience yoga without needing to fit a particular image of what a yoga practitioner should be. Through Yoga Muse, she has developed programming for a wide range of students, including foundational yoga, mobility and stretching, Pilates, prenatal and postnatal yoga, pain-focused practices, somatic work, and classes for children and older adults.

Teaching has deepened Jen's interest in the individual experience of practice. She is particularly attentive to the ways people arrive in their bodies—their patterns of movement, energy, attention, tension, and capacity—and to how a practice can be adapted to meet a person where they are rather than asking the person to conform to the practice.

She is currently pursuing an M.S. in Yoga Therapy at Notre Dame at Maryland University, expanding her study of yoga as an individualized and therapeutic discipline. She is also pursuing an M.S.W. at Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, further developing her understanding of the psychological, relational, and social contexts that shape wellbeing.

For Jen,, yoga is less about achieving a particular form than developing the capacity to listen, adapt, and respond. Her work continues to explore what becomes possible when the practice of meditation, mindfulness, and movement deepen the practitioner's relationship with themselves and others.
