Meet Your Lead Trainer, Jennie Joan
Your lead trainer, Jennie Joan (JJ) (E-RYT, 500 hr Experienced, Registered Yoga Teacher, BA Psychology & Holistic Health, Reiki II, Certified Herbalist), has over 3,000 hours of training and teaching experience in multiple traditions including Vinyasa, Yin, Kripalu, Recovery Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Yoga for Body Image, Barre, Trauma Sensitive Yoga, and Reiki. She’s currently an MSW graduate student at the University of Southern Maine, as well as asjunct faculty. She is the owner of Arcana, yoga school director and a Sea Change Yoga teacher and board member. She’s also a mom, and a person in long term recovery.
JJ practiced yoga for the very first time at the age of 12 and has watched it shape her entire life since. Jennie’s goal is to embody what she teaches, accrediting yoga to helping her grow through obstacles like PTSD, substance use disorder, and an eating disorder. She believes yoga has the power to transform our lives rapidly and radically and to teach us not just to live, but to live well. Jennie has proudly trained over 75 yoga instructors in Southern Maine and is humbled by the work they do and the love they bring to the yoga community.
