Gentle Yoga with Jenny

Heartwood Preserve 4100 Starkey Blvd, Trinity, FL, United States

This yoga class is calmly paced and includes stretching, breathing techniques, slow movements, and relaxation. All levels are welcome and modifications of poses will be offered. Your Host: Jenny Hennek My Yoga practice has been included in my dance classes for over 15 years. Yet it was not until after an illness that I discovered my desire to teach Yoga and share its many healing benefits. As I was brought back to health through Hatha Yoga, I hoped others could experience the same. I completed the teacher training program at the Himalayan Center and I am humbled and grateful to teach Yoga and hope to impart the many blessings I have received to my students. My classes are Gentle, with a focus on flowing stretches and a meditative focus of light woven through the teachings. My hope is each student comes away feeling bathed in light and their body and soul feels radiant, flexible and filled with vitality. I believe in a compassionate approach to my practice and in teaching. I enjoy the students I meet, I know in many ways that it is really they who are teaching me. Please Bring:  • A yoga mat • Blanket • Any optional props if needed – blocks, strap, bolster – to help assist in your practice This is a free class, love donations only 💝. ** No pets please.
