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
Yoga Foundations teaches you the postures the rest of your practice is built on. This isn't a flow to follow along to. We take one posture at a time- Warrior 1 & 2, Triangle, Downward Facing Dog, Sun Salutations- and learn each one properly: how it's meant to feel, where everything goes, what it's for. Slowly, named as we go, with time to ask and time to rest. Nothing assumed, nothing to keep up with. Turning up not knowing a single pose is exactly right; that's who this class is for.
Every session is the same in spirit, whichever shapes we land on: unhurried, clearly explained, and gentle enough that there's always time to ask, adjust, and rest when you need to. Child's pose is always there when you want a pause. Come as often as you like. The more you meet these shapes, the more they start to feel like yours.
And once they do, you're ready for the next step: an easy move across into Slow Flow, Hatha, and the rest when you feel like it. This is the doorway. Everything else opens up once you've walked through it.
Start here. It all gets easier from the very first class.
