Taylor Dusseault
Hi! I’m from Upper Michigan and went to MSU for my undergrad, where I completed my 200-hour training through Yoga State. I love to drink coffee, stay active, and travel!! After moving around a bit, I’m finally back in East Lansing for grad school. I’m so excited to be teaching at Yoga State this semester! I teach hot vinyasa classes that range from upbeat and energizing to moderate and light, depending on the day. I can’t wait to meet you all on the mat!

Skyler Cordova
Hi, I’m Skyler 💌
I moved to East Lansing for law school at MSU College of Law from Chicago, where I completed my undergrad. I’ve always had a passion for wellness, moving my body, focusing my mind, and supporting overall health, which is why I immediately fell in love with Pilates.
I’ll be teaching Hot Mat Pilates. Where we will start grounded, sweat it out, and finish feeling strong, clear, and centered. All while bumping music and sweating it out.
I can’t wait to move with you at Yoga State🕺🏽🪩🧘🏽‍♀️

Esme Rios
Hi! I’m Esme Rios, I moved to EL in 2023 from Texas to attend law school at MSU. I am currently in my last semester and am teaching Hot Mat Pilates at Yoga State! I am trained in STOTT Pilates and am excited to see all the new faces in my YS classes this semester. ✨

Madison Chambers
I’m Madison and I’ll be teaching Hot Vinyasa and Aligned Flow. I have been teaching yoga for 7 years and I love teaching creative flows that challenge my students while showing them how strong and capable they truly are! I just moved to Lansing to get my PhD in sport psychology at MSU where I study how yoga can be a preventative measure against disordered eating in young athletes. I’m so excited to get be apart of the Yoga State community!!

Yin is back!! But, what is it?

Yin Yoga is a practice focused on working past the superficial layer of muscle into the deeper connective tissues – ligaments, tendons, fascia. While heat is perfect to allow the muscles to relax and lengthen in a Vinyasa practice, Yin is practiced in an unheated space so the stretch is targeted to the Yin-like connective tissues. Longer, static holds create feelings of deep relaxation and bring more stillness internally as well as externally.

Yin provides more than just the physical benefits, as emotions are energetically held in the physical body. Approaching your Yin practice with respectful awareness and the addition of props (blocks, bolsters, blankets, and straps, etc.) can support a deeper emotional experience. Yin is the perfect tool to balance out yang forms of yoga asanas, such as Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga, etc. Even the most devoted practitioner of yang yoga can benefit from the increased flexibility and joint stability that Yin provides. From beginner to advanced practitioner, Yin is for you!

What are you hoping your life feels like next?

If you can name it, you can create it. And yes! It’s possible, with the right tools and support.

I’ve been leading Yoga Teacher Trainings since 2008. This is my 21st 200-hour training, designed to help you do less, feel better, and live more aligned right where you are.

You’re not too new. Not too busy. Not too stiff.
You are exactly where you need to be!

All you need is willingness.
The rest unfolds with guidance, practice, and community.

If you’re feeling the pull, message me. I’d love to share more and support you every step of the way!

I was wondering… what are you hoping your life feels like next?

If you can describe it that’s already a beautiful first step. And yes… it’s absolutely possible if you have the tools and stamina.

You might start to doubt it. You might think it’s too hard, too far away, or out of reach. I’m here to tell you, it’s not. I know this path, and I can guarantee that you can do this and I can teach and show you how. Hi, my name is Jen (in case we haven’t met yet), this is the 21st 200 hour training that I have led since 2008. I have learned and experienced so much through the years about the power of Yoga and how it can benefit a vast variety of people in the most profound ways. I have a lot of experience working with a multitude of situations that have felt a huge benefit through the study of yoga.

I’m leading a unique Yoga Teacher Training designed to help you actually do less while accomplishing more and feeling better, more grounded, and more aligned with the life you’re leading and hoping for. This program has been honed over the years to meet the current life challenges so it meets you where you are right now. This program is the best.

What do you need to show up with? Willingness.

You’re not too old or too young.
Not too new to yoga or too experienced.
Not too stiff or too flexible.
Not too busy and not too still.

You are exactly where you need to be for this to work beautifully.

Do you have time? Yes.
I’ve been leading these trainings since 2008, and every single person has found the time. In fact, this training supports time management and helps you create rhythms that make life feel more easeful.

You’ll build habits and skills that support your happiness and health for so many years to come. Yoga regulates the nervous system and is one of the most powerful practices we have for physical, mental and emotional well-being.

If you are interested in becoming a teacher of Yoga, this course has been proven to turn out the best teachers in the business. You will earn your 200 hour certification and it will allow you to teach a variety of styles of yoga and is honored throughout the world. This certification also is a symbol that is instantly acknowledged in the professional world outside of yoga. Employers see you as healthier, both physically and mentally. More capable to be lead and problem solve, more qualified to handle situations and tasks. So many times after someone completes this program, they message me that they were chosen above other applicants due to this certification. Society is realizing through scientific studies and situational proof that Yoga works as a positive benefit in every situation.

Community is such an important part of the human experience as well. Making connections and having meaningful friendships and relationships is very valuable. Learning to listen to yourself and others in order to understand. Feeling seen and being heard as well as the ease of being interested in something or someone and becoming more interesting to others is a challenge in many situations. You will find community and connection here.

Now, let’s talk about the money.
We offer the most flexible and personal payment plans you’ll ever experience. Not only is Yoga State known for its exceptional training reputation, we are also known for our great deals on pricing. This is an investment in you and your future and you are absolutely worth it. This is the most valuable thing you can put your money towards and it will give you an overwhelming return in ways you never realized were possible.

So truly, all that’s required is willingness. It’s okay to feel nervous. It’s okay to feel excited. Just be willing to choose something that will change your life for the better.

I promise that you will be so grateful to yourself for saying yes to Yoga State Teacher Training this year. I’ll be right here, working alongside you, supporting you every step of the way to ensure you get the best possible outcome.

Please message me so we can talk through the details. I’d love to send you more information and answer your questions.

I’m really looking forward to hearing from you.

With so much love,
Jen
