Hey You! I’m Jenn.

I’m so happy you’re here. I’m a yoga teacher, life coach, writer and proud owner of a studio in Muskoka. It may seem like I wear many different hats but everything I do is tied together with a common thread.

My passion for helping you embrace who you really are so you can live a life that you love.

I believe the change you’re seeking happens on the inside. When you clean up the noise in your head, get clear on what your heart really wants and learn to love and appreciate yourself, all the outside pieces will come together.

COACHING

I believe that lasting change and transformation starts within. As a life coach, I support my clients in learning to recognize and then question the voice in their head that holds them back so they can live with more meaning, purpose and joy.

The biggest barrier between you and the life you want to live is - you. The clock is ticking. Ready to build a life you love?

My brain needs to be constantly reminded of what actually matters and how lucky I really am. If I drop the practices that bring me perspective and cultivate gratitude, my mind quickly zooms in on what isn’t working, what I need to change and how much better my life would be if/when. That’s why I’m so drawn to this practice and the work that I GET to do. I don’t just share the lessons that I’ve learned with you, I get to constantly (re)learn and reinforce those lessons in myself.
.
For me, all of this work boils down to remembering to look at what’s good. To see how incredibly blessed we are. To know that most of the things we worry about are first world problems. I woke up yesterday feeling overwhelmed and anxious about some changes coming up. I crawled back into my cozy bed with my book and a hot cup of coffee and these words popped out at me.
.
“You can be helped to look at the world and see a different perspective. Where some people see a half-empty cup, you can see it as half-full. Perhaps people will be moved to see that there are very, very, very many people in the world today who will not have had the kind of breakfast that you had. Many, many millions in the world today are hungry. It’s not your fault, but you woke up in a warm bed, you were able to have a shower, you put on clean clothes, and you were in a home that is warm in the winter.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu
.
Suddenly the changes coming up don’t seem that overwhelming. The anxiety falls away. My eyes are open to all the wonderful things in my life. It was just the reminder I needed. So I’m sharing (as always) because maybe some of you need it too. Look around at all the good things in your life today, no matter how simple and mundane they may seem. Even your plain old breakfast is a gift. xx
.
I know I’ve been really into sharing bits of wisdom from the books I’ve been reading lately - this book worm is back! Anyone out there interested in a @pycmuskoka book club this summer? We’ll pick one book a month that helps you take your practice off the mat and have a chatarunga free, cheese filled hangout to chat about our biggest takeaways. Let me know below! ❤️🙏🏻

The days leading up to my first yoga class ever I felt equal parts excited and sick to my stomach with doubt. The nights leading up to the opening day of @pycmuskoka I lay awake in a panic thinking, wait, what if no one comes? Now I look back on these two milestones as some of the things I’m most proud of in my life so far.
.
What if I’d waited until I felt ‘ready’? What if I’d believed the voice in my head saying there were already enough yoga teachers and studios out there? What if I’d let fear win?
.
I’m so grateful that I can reflect back on these moments and remind myself to follow the fear - it means I care. Same goes for you. The scariest things also happen to be the most rewarding despite the fact that they usually come with a whole lot of second guessing, overthinking, doubting and fear of what other people will think. Nice of life to do that to us, isn’t it?
.
I’m still working away on that something new that I’m SO excited to share with you soon and in the spirit of being honest (I can’t help it) it’s just as scary to me at times as those early @pycmuskoka days. And of course, while sipping my morning coffee and reading The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, the universe delivered exactly what I needed to hear.
.
“Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember our rule of thumb: the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.”
.
So I felt compelled to share. If there’s something you’re working on/towards right now or maybe more likely, something you’re avoiding working on/towards right now because it scares you, here’s your nudge from me in rainy London to follow the fear.
.
I’ll be following mine all week and could use some company, okay?
✌🏻❤️

Here’s a little reminder for your ‘first world problem’ brain. All those things you complain that you HAVE to do can just as easily be viewed as things that you GET to do. By switching out one little word you’re instantly reminded how lucky you are.
.
You GET to go to work because you’re lucky enough to have a job.
.
You GET to take the garbage out because you’re lucky enough to have food.
.
You GET to workout because you’re lucky enough to have a healthy body and a healthy heart.
.
You GET to wake up to your alarm tomorrow a little earlier than you’d like because you’re lucky enough to be alive.
.
The list goes on.
.
Small shift.
Big impact.
✌🏻✌🏻
