Hi, I'm Jenna 😙 if youve been to my classes you probably know that I always forget to tell you who I am so here we gooooo.....

Yoga Instructor since 2019, Belly Dance Teacher, Climbing Enthusiast, Gamer, Book Lover, Dog Obsessed Mad Woman, Ex-Weeabo (日本に住んだことがある)

I honestly believe one of the greatest connections to achieve in life and the greatest gift to maintain is the one you have with your own body, and everything else that encompasses it. Your breath, your energy, your senses, your mind, your soul. The very vehicle in which you navigate and store life, emotions, experiences.. until my early 20s i had absolutely 0 conscious awareness of my own body or what I was even putting into it. Everything I am today has come from putting the work in, nothing worth having comes easy.

Each of us is our own walking universe and yet our focus is constantly pulled away to things we don't need and things that dont make us happy. This is why I love Yoga, it feels like an energetic removal of the dust and grime and noise that clouds your vision and stifles your bodys energy, its a homecoming. My two original pulls to yoga was; 'i need my mind to reset so I can figure out who I am and what I want' & 'i want to be strong and flexible.'

Belly Dance has graced me with a connection to my feminine nature and truly embodying the power and privilege of being a woman. This practice celebrates the raw sensuality of the divine feminine through movement and emotion, and allows me to shimmy my hips to KoRn in a way that I can only describe as soul-soothing.

As someone who has suffered with bouts of depression i can say rather confidently that movement has saved my life.
I feel the most alive when I teach, when I dance, when I see my teaching shine in the eyes of my students. It is an honour and a blessing to facilitate these classes and im deeply grateful for those of you who resonate with my classes

Remember that you are an extension of the power that created the universe 🥰

Anyway here's my boy Uncle Iroh dropping points of reflection -
"Its time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions. Who are you? And what do you want?”

Love you all

Once again, our Saturday morning Yoga with Jenna has just finished, and our yogi's floated off into their days - we love to see it!

Jenna is back with us at Big Heart Yoga in Madeley, on Monday - have you booked your place yet?

It is a celebration of self-expression, body confidence, and joy. Every week you'll begin gently, warming the body with yoga-inspired stretches, then dive into iconic movements, shimmies, hip circles, chest isolations, snake arms, and fluid body waves.

You do not need rhythm.
You do not need experience.
You do not need to “look” like a dancer.

You just need a willingness to show up and move.

You'll finish with a short choreography, giving you space to feel the flow and add your own flair. This is more than a dance class. It is connection, confidence, and joy in motion.

Book your spot now : https://bigheartyoga.as.me/bellydance
.. and if it is your first class with us, use the code BHY10 when booking to save 10% ❤

Some of you have probably seen my journey since the beginning, some of you have just met me! So I figured I’d give you a little insight into myself and my journey so far in this current version of Jenna.
I've been practicing Yoga since 2017 and teaching since 2019. And when I tell you Yoga changed my life, that is a diabolical understatement. The practice of Yoga has transformed my life in every single possible aspect. From my thoughts and perspectives, how my body looks and moves, my relationships, my path and purpose, my “sacred energy exchange life”. Everything is enhanced. I only ever wish I had started sooner.

After 23 years of bumbling through life I truly hit a wall of feeling hollow, numbed out and completely emotionless. I wasn’t feeling alive or joyful or excited about literally anything going on around me. During my Yoga Teacher Training I told everyone “I’m glad that I’m here but I haven’t felt ANYTHING through the whole journey of booking this course, flying to Bali, and being sat here right now with all of you”.

I had a lot to unlearn and relearn from poor values and lack of boundaries growing up. Vulnerability is power. Emotions arent weak. Your triggers are there to help you reflect, wake up and evolve. You are a being that is hard-wired for joy and pleasure. We all grow up with such limited perspectives and ideals with the world, and we're only equipped to deal with it how we're taught by our role models. For some of you, myself included, maybe you didn't have the right tools or knowledge or environment to make sense of the world and people around you.

My YTT cracked my foundations. Through these daily mindful practices, community of like-minded souls and authentic relating activities, I sat and I BAWLED my eyes out in front of these beautiful women. I was finally in the perfect environment, with the right role models, with the right community, with the right tools to move away from the person I didnt want to be anymore.
Healing gives you space to realise that there's a whole other side to this human experience, a light at the end of the tunnel, a way to live so fully, so unapologetically you, so joyful, that you didnt know was possible.❤️

Thirty, Flirty & Thriving 💃🏻

I loved that movie as a kid, its probably the only movie I've ever seen where the main character is called Jenna 😂

Sometimes i feel ive lived so many lives times during this incarnation, like ive learned so much and experienced so much but still dont know a damn thing✌🏻
ive travelled a lot, lived in foreign countries, fallen in love, lost, grieved. Life is ever so humbling. 🙌🏻

Its like ive levelled up a lot, gained new skills, unlocked new traits and areas, and then suddenly been sent barrelling back to the starting area of a video game like when youve completed the story, and have to start all over again, but hench as f**k from the previous playthrough and exp hehe (Crisis Core comes to mind as I type this, amazing game)

I look at my photos and videos of myself and honestly I think the 8 year old version of me and the 80 year old version of me would both be my biggest fans.
I'm proud of who I've become and what I've achieved

I'm intrigued and excited to see where ill be in the next ten years ☺️

Thank you for the people in my life who have always been nothing but endlessly supportive and shown me unconditional love. I have an abundance of love for you all ❤️❤️❤️
