Jennifer Ekman

Jenn Ekman (she/her) earned her 200hr RYT certificate in 2020 from Brett Larkin Yoga. She then earned her second 200hr RYT certificate from Haum Yoga in San Francisco in 2022 studying under Nat Kendall, Rachel Wilkins and Jeremy Falk. Certified in Vinyasa, Hatha, Accessible Yoga and Yoga for All, Jenn strives to create an inclusive, non-competitive environment for all students.

First finding yoga over 20 years ago as a great form of physical exercise, Jenn quickly realized that the body isn’t the only thing yoga exercises. Now with a strong meditation practice and a desire to serve her community, she has embarked on a journey to delve deeper into yoga philosophy and the tools yoga offers for use on and off the mat. She is a huge fan of using props and encourages students to meet themselves on the mat in the present moment. Jenn teaches a slow vinyasa flow with an emphasis on finding the balance between sthira and sukha (effort and ease). She believes the practice of yoga provides great support off the mat in our technology infused and fast paced world, enabling us to slow down and be present in our own mind, body and space.

When Jenn is not on the mat she can be found singing musical theatre in venues all over the bay, singing jazz with her group the High Seas, playing chauffeur to her two amazing kids, biking, hiking, traveling the world, or reading a good book. She is currently assisting and undergoing a mentorship with Nat Kendall, and in training to be a CASA worker.
