    Jenny was born and raised in Suffolk, VA but has been on the OBX full time since the summer of 2014. She has been a full time portrait/wedding photographer on the island since 2021. When not behind the lens, she’s on her mat. She started to dabble in the yoga world the year of 2015 but it wasn’t until the beginning of 2019 where she really started to deepen her practice. When covid had closed all of the OBX studios… Her friend/yoga instructor started to teach classes in his backyard every day and that’s when yoga became something she realized she needed rather than just wanted. Jenny graduated with her 200 hour YTT certification in 2022 and has made it a goal of hers to share with people the same thing that was shared with her that changed her life. Honest yoga, that’s what she strives for. Her goal is to create a space that gives people the confidence to try new things, maybe fall over once or twice, but then get back up and try it again. She’ll keep you on your toes with one funky transition after another. Be ready to walk out of her class with a wide open heart and a smile on your face.
