I love being able to share in this beautiful space with these genuine, kind women.

✨Meet Jen Lowry! ✨

Jen began her yoga journey in 2001 after her doctor’s suggestion to ease her anxiety. Her love for yoga began after her very first class; feeling a new sense of peace and connection. In 2011, she wanted to deepen her understanding of the practice and took her first in-depth 200 HR Teacher Training through Moksha Yoga Center in Chicago. 

With a heart for sharing the practice with those struggling, she furthered her education with certifications such as Y12SR with Nikki Myers; an adjunct to 12 step programs and Yoga for First Responders, YFFR in Bloomfield, CO.

She completed her 300 HR and Yoga Therapy certifications through Purusha Yoga in San Francisco. During her Yoga Therapy certification she studied; Yoga for the aging, grief and death, yoga philosophy, holistic anatomy, somatic therapy, advanced meditation, Pilates and Thai yoga bodywork. 

It was through Purusha she developed her Moving Mindfully with Grief program and unique bodywork offering.

Jen truly believes in a holistic approach to wellbeing and that through self study, movement and breath you can uncover and release dis-ease. 

Jen enjoys leading a well rounded Hatha/Vinyasa style class as well as working 1:1 with clients based on their individual needs. 

In her free time, she enjoys connecting with nature through travel and hiking and listening to live music. She has also been a licensed cosmetologist for 33 years, with a genuine passion for helping others look and feel their best.

🧘🏽 Meet Jen on your mat, Thursdays at 6pm for Hatha Vinyasa flow. Or private message her for Bodywork consults! 🧘🏽

Here is a Metta mediation to start your 4th of July weekend.

Sit in a quiet comfortable place. Take a few deep belly breaths and exhale through an open mouth, then allow yourself to just breathe normally. Softening the muscles in the shoulders, belly, hips, arms and legs.

Metta is first practiced toward oneself, since we often have difficulty loving others without first loving ourselves. Sitting quietly, mentally repeat, slowly and steadily, the following or similar phrases:

May I be happy. May I be well. May I be safe. May I be peaceful and at ease.

After a period of directing loving-kindness toward yourself, bring to mind a friend or someone in your life who has deeply cared for you. Then slowly repeat phrases of loving-kindness toward them:

May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be peaceful and at ease.

Repeat this bringing to mind someone neutral in your life and then again for someone who is difficult to get along with or understand

Finally sending this Metta towards all those suffering in this world.

May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be peaceful and at ease.🙏🏻🕊️♥️
