Jen is a scientist, humanitarian, yoga practitioner and teacher. Initially drawn to yoga as part of her own healing journey, she eventually discovered Rocket Yoga, which offered the perfect balance she needed to develop a disciplined practice with space to explore. Later, she turned to Dharma Yoga to grow her spiritual practice, and more fully integrate yoga into all aspects of her life. Jen approaches yoga much like an experiment, and encourages everyone to investigate the potential of their mind-body-spirit connection. She value autonomy over authority and strives to empower individuals to develop a compassionate, intuitive and exploratory yoga practice. Jen is a student above all else and is grateful for her teachers and mentors, namely Sri Dharma Mittra, David Kyle, and Nathania Stambouli, as well as those of the Ashtanga and Dharma Yoga lineages, past and present. She has completed over 1200 hours of training and is a certified Dharma Yoga and Rocket Yoga Teacher.
Michelle (also known as Big Meesh) is a residential architect, an ashtangi & rocket student, and a yoga teacher. Michelle came to yoga as a way to introduce exercise back into her life after suffering a concussion in 2013. Along with regaining strength and balance, what Michelle didn't expect to find was the connection between the mind, body, and breath and how the practice permeates into all facets of her life even off the yoga mat. Michelle is a EYT-200 through Yoga Alliance and is certified to teach the Rocket under David Kyle, as well as Yin Yoga through Yael Flusberg. She's also a regular, Ashtanga Mysore practitioner and is grateful for her teachers, Maggie Lively & Jarrick Browner. In the yoga room, she's all about creating a safe space, building a supportive community, including all types of bodies, while honoring individuality. Off mat, Michelle enjoys traveling around the world with her husband of many lifetimes, hanging around with their adorable pups, designing the house of your dreams, and fishing at local ponds to always smash her personal best.
