"Jen, owner of Nurse of Yoga, is an amazing teacher. She really knows the body and how it works, explains it clearly and has knowledge of how to release the fascia in a way that is gentle but effective. I have taken a few classes and have had great results and released a lot of tension each time. The space is really nice and she also has many tools that are specifically for body work, which is incredible. Jen is also just a great human being, so intelligent and perceptive, generous with her time and attention. She definitely is a gem!"

"Jennifer recently opened her Nurse of Yoga studio in Mendocino, next to the Mendocino Volunteer Fire Department. Her shop is located downstairs, and has an inviting yet relaxed atmosphere when you step in. Jennifer has a unique approach to her yoga instruction, focused more on myofascial release and tension release than finding a perfect Asana. Both locals and visitors to the Mendocino area looking for a gentle but effective healing session can pop into one of Jennifer's daily classes (with room for up to a dozen or so people in class) to release knots, stretch, and work on imbalances in the body. She can accommodate individuals, couples, or friends and has a friendly, down to earth vibe that makes her instruction particularly beneficial for non-yogis, but all levels of experience will benefit from practicing with her. Personally, I was struggling with a tight psoas muscle and Jennifer helped me to relieve my pain in just two sessions following her guidance both in session and at home. Her practice is unique among local yoga studio offerings and definitely worth checking out while you're in the area! "

"I had an amazing session with Jennifer! She helped release tension in my leg after an injury using myofascial release techniques. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the body’s anatomy, knowing exactly how to approach pain through a variety of exercises and tools. If you’re dealing with pain or have a specific concern you want to work through, I highly recommend booking a session with Jen."

"I had a great experience doing yoga with Jen. She took the time to meet me where I was in my practice and focused on my specific problem areas. I really appreciated how she incorporated fascial work into our session - it made a big difference in how I felt afterward. I’m excited to see her again and can’t wait to continue learning from her! Looking forward to more online opportunities."
