Meet Jennifer
Jennifer started her journey with yoga back in 2011 and has never turned back. The yoga path has given her many gifts on this life journey with continuous waves of change and transformation. She is an ERYT-500, the owner of Desert Lotus Paddle Boards, a certified SUP yoga instructor, and YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider). You'll find her yoga classes challenging yet uplifting, allowing you to take on the tools of yoga to understand your journey with an emphasis on continued growth. Her passion for yoga and adventure is evident in her dedication to creating a welcoming and inclusive space, where students of all levels can flourish and find balance. During her free time, Jennifer enjoys hiking, camping, and traveling with her husband Trevor and their four dogs Sansa, Shanti, Shifu, and Sunny.
Meet Emily
Emily had practiced yoga sporadically for years; however, her journey truly began in 2015 when a beautiful studio opened in her neighborhood. It was there she discovered she could feel deep peace, self-love, and acceptance. These are areas Emily struggled with for years after a breast cancer diagnosis at 29 and a life-long battle with her weight. She decided she wanted to teach, to help breast cancer patients/survivors and to represent bigger-bodied Yogis. In 2021, she completed her 500-hour teacher training and sound practitioner training in 2022. Emily loves to combine sound healing with her yoga classes, which include gentle flow, restorative, chair, Yin, and Yoga Nidra. Emily believes that yoga can change your life for the better, and bring peace, joy, and optimism to everybody. You just have to be willing to try.
