About Jenna

She/Her/Hers

Jenna stepped onto her mat after sustaining an injury that didn't allow for any high-impact exercise. She was hesitant to try something new, but at the encouragement of a friend she started trying different classes and teachers and began to enjoy the practice itself. For the first time, she was able to feel what her body could do and how it felt-with no judgments and no expectations.

As a teacher, Jenna strives to offer a safe, welcoming, and grounded experience for all her students. There is space for everyone, beginners and seasoned practitioners. Taking care of people is Jenna’s true nature so creating a nurturing space, giving people time to breathe, to let go is something she truly treasures. 

Prior to teaching yoga, Jenna was a social worker in Boston Public Schools and at a Residential Treatment Center for young men.  She saw firsthand in others as well as in herself the physical ailments that come when we are not taking care of ourselves mentally and physically.  Since the pandemic, Jenna has returned to social work and works in an outpatient clinic in the Boston area serving those with trauma, anxiety, depression and early onset psychosis. Jenna sees teaching as an extension of her therapeutic work.  Instead of sitting and talking to someone to help them feel better, she is helping her students help themselves through movement and breath, she feels honored to serve her community through compassionate healing and vibrant classes.


“I've been taking Jenna's classes for years and I can honestly say that each one is a unique and thoughtful experience that leaves me feeling healthier both physically and mentally. You can tell that Jenna puts a lot of intention into every aspect of a practice and provides a complete experience. She also makes awesome playlists that go great with yoga and meditation.”
