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
Yin is the slow one, the deep exhale at the end of your day.
Where faster classes move you through pose after pose, Yin asks you to do very little: settle into a handful of floor-based shapes and simply stay, each one held for several quiet minutes. Bolsters, blankets and blocks support you the whole way, so your muscles can switch off and the practice can work deeper, into the connective tissue, fascia and joints that rarely get a look-in.
Don't let "gentle" fool you, though. Staying still is the real work here. As the minutes stretch out you'll feel plenty, a slow, steady opening that releases tension you didn't know you were holding, and a quiet that settles the mind as much as the body. You'll leave looser, softer and unmistakably calmer.
It's the perfect counterbalance to busy days, strong practices and long weeks, and quite possibly the kindest hour you'll give yourself all week.
Good to know: Yin doesn't build heat the way a flow does, so bring cosy layers and thick socks to keep that warmth wrapped around you.
