Lead Instructors: 

Jenni Dykema RPYT Doula

​

Jenni first encountered yoga in 2003 when her high school soccer coach incorporated it into weekly practices, in an effort to help prevent players from getting injured. Over the many years that followed, the frequency at which Jenni practiced yoga gradually increased and when she was in college, she found a more regular practice and tried many different kinds of yoga. In 2019, she decided to pursue teaching and completed her 200 hour training, followed by becoming a Childbirth Educator and a Doula. Jenni has specialty training in Prenatal Yoga, and also enjoys teaching various other styles. For her, yoga has become more than just a physical practice - it's become a way of life. She strives to bring grace, gratitude, and balance to all of her yoga classes and hopes that your time on the mat will bring the same!
