Hi, I'm Jen.
For over a decade before I ever stepped to the front of a room to teach yoga, I was a dedicated student. My personal practise naturally gravitated toward stronger, more rigorous disciplines, which perfectly complemented my background in Personal Training and Strength & Conditioning.
I have a deep appreciation for the mechanics of building functional power. But structurally, we need more than just heavy lifting to thrive in modern life; your nervous system needs intentional space to regulate and rest.
That balance is exactly why I built MOKU. I specialise in teaching Hatha, Vinyasa, and the wonderfully dynamic movement of Mandala Vinyasa. Very soon, I will also offer Yin (for when you need to melt over a bolster and tune out the world) and Shake the Dust (a high-energy somatic release).
Whether you need to build bulletproof joints, flow creatively, or literally shake the Friday stress out of your body, I’ve got you covered.
See you on the mat.
Description
Mandala Vinyasa: Elemental Flow
A strong, dynamic, 360-degree practice rooted in the official methodology of Dulce Mandala. Moving continuously around all four corners of the mat, this practice is breath-led, physically demanding, and highly structural.
Each class focuses on a specific element (Earth, Water, Fire, or Air) to target specific areas of the body. We begin and end with deep, floor-based Yin postures to target the connective tissues, while the peak of the class is a rigorous, heat-building Vinyasa flow. Expect to work hard, move continuously, and regulate your nervous system.
Earth Element (Hamstrings & Grounding):
Focuses on deep forward folds, grounding postures, and building structural strength and flexibility through the hamstrings and the back line of the body.
Water Element (Hips & Fluidity):
Focuses heavily on opening the hips, groin, and pelvis. Expect fluid, continuous movement and deep structural release in the lower body.
Fire Element (Core & Twists):
A highly active, heat-building practice focusing on core conditioning, deep spinal twists, and internal strength.
Air Element (Backbends & Front Body):
Focuses on the structural opening of the chest, shoulders, and quads. Expect demanding backbends and deep expansion through the front line of the body.
