Hello, I'm
Jenna Saunders

Certified Instructor: Yoga; Meditation
Jenna found yoga as a student at Virginia Tech where she attended yoga classes at the on-campus gym. She moved to San Diego from the east coast after her graduation in 2008 and has grown to love the practice of yoga. Through her practice she discovered the healing benefits of yoga both on and off of the mat and hopes to help students learn about yoga beyond the physical asana practice.

She completed a 200 hour teacher training with YogaWorks in April 2012 and the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga 200 hour teacher training with The Chopra Center in November 2014. Jenna is passionate about living a healthy and active lifestyle while enjoying the journey along the way. She has a true passion for her yoga and meditation practice and is happiest when she's on her yoga mat. Jenna primarily practices Ashtanga yoga, hot Vinyasa Flow, and the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga.
