Jennifer Japenga Paaske
Having been involved in gymnastics for more than 20 years, it was the similar physicality of the asanas to gymnastics that first piqued Jennifer's interest in yoga. When she first experienced the pure vibrancy of flowing with breath and movement while connecting with the universal spirit, she realized the path of yoga went well beyond the asanas. Jennifer is particularly inspired by the compassion, wisdom, and authenticity of Jonny Kest, Rusty Wells, Paul Dallaghan, Jane Austin, and Seane Corn (and the list is growing!). She holds a B.S. in Exercise Science, a K-12 teaching credential in Physical Education and has been an instructor in the health and wellness industry for over a decade. Linking breath and movement while discovering one’s inner teacher and personal edge are a core focus in all classes. A highlight of Jennifer's yoga journey has been starting a yoga and gymnastics program for expat families in Shanghai, China, where she lived for 3 years. Currently residing in Mill Valley with her husband and son, it is Jennifer's hope to continue to share the benefits of yoga with others, both on and off the mat. .
