My {Yoga} Story:

Hey there - my name is Jen. 

I'm an Aussie living in the US.  Proud mama.  Wife.  Business owner.  Dancer.  Singer.  Drummer.  Doer of things. Goddess.  

I have been practicing yoga for over fifteen years and always knew, deep in my heart, that I wanted to teach.  I would be taking a class and just feel a yearning inside of me, a calling to find my spirituality, and tap into something deep inside myself to give to others.  In 2019 I finally took the time to do my Yoga Teacher Training, with a plan to go out and find teaching opportunities.  But life happened and I was drawn back to our family business.  I found myself floundering in dissatisfaction with my work as a CFO, trying to be the best mum (mom) I could be to my two boys, I was disconnected from my husband, and struggling with aggressive perimenopause that would ravish me with debilitating migraines, blood clots, mood swings, and all kinds of crazy! (Yes - I know, I know - TMI - but seriously - this stuff is REAL!!!)    Then Covid-19 hit and, although there was so much uncertainty, there was also an opportunity for me to be of service.  Some wonderful friends gave me a nudge and offered to be my students and my first Zoom yoga classes began.    After teaching for free for almost a whole year, I realized it was time to increase my offerings and get Good Vibes Village going for real.

​

I love all kinds of yoga and have had the privilege of practicing with some incredible teachers.  I was trained under the YogaWorks methodology, which blends eastern and western teachings of yoga, "focused on improving strength, flexibility, stability, and improving mental clarity and calmness".  My own teaching is a blend of Vinyasa flow, Kundalini, Hatha, Yin, & Restorative Yoga styles.  I recently completed my training as an Energy Medicine Yoga® Foundations teacher and weave these incredible energy-balancing techniques into our yoga flow classes.  I like to give guidance in alignment, believe strongly in listening to your body & honoring how your body can move, and I really cherish breathwork & mantra chanting, encouraging vibrational flow to shift energy in your body.

Let the good vibes flow!
