What We Learn To Teach, We Integrate.
It is as simple as that. When you know you will be responsible for sharing something with another human being – you automatically take it to heart in a different way. Whether you take the training for personal development or with the intention to begin teaching yoga we encourage our trainees to begin to SEE through the eyes of a teacher. The PATH of Teaching is a PATH of integration: making something a living wisdom which can then be shared and passed on.
Passing on the living wisdom of yoga is the purpose of our 200 hr devoted yogi teacher training.
Giving you the tools to teach/practice vibrantly, progressively and with confidence is our commitment to you.
We are dedicated to bringing you the finest Art, Science and Tradition Yoga has to offer. The Parampara (teacher to student unbroken lineage) is something we are deeply devoted to and take quite seriously here at our Island Yoga Shala (school).

“Finding Jenna and DEVOTED YOGI has been a profound blessing for me. I have practiced yoga in many places, and I find that the healing art of yoga is being offered with such clarity, generosity, and respect in Jenna’s studio. There is no judgement, which fosters a safe space to be where you are in the practice, and to reach for the edge of your practice, when inspired. By weaving a deep understanding of yoga philosophy, anatomy, and embodied consciousness- Jenna cultivates room for the divine to emerge, for the ordinary to become illuminated. Authentic connection is revealed. I cherish my time here, and I always leave class feeling renewed and resourced- regardless of the circumstances going on in my life. DEVOTED YOGI is a bright, warm treasure, that reminds me to live in the larger arc.” – Erin Ohara (Mother/Musician, and Graduate of Spring 2017 200 hr YTT)
