Hi there! I'm

Welcome To Jenni Sol Yoga And The Yoga Badass Academy
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
I love that you always incorporate not only the stretches and poses that your students think we need (e.g., pigeon ) but also those that we may not realize we need, such as other ways to stretch and strengthen the glutes or an extra set up 5 push-ups to leave us feeling confident and strong! I also love your positive and enthusiastic spirit. Your classes are simultaneously the most challenging and the most fun yoga classes I've ever taken. You continually challenge your students physically, yet somehow keep us smiling and connecting with our deepest selves in the midst of the work.

Jenni is constantly challenging and encouraging her students. The cues and reminders for body position are extremely helpful in making sure you can gain the most out of each class. She is so great at connecting with each student and genuinely cares about them. I have gained so much strength and flexibility in the short amount of time I have been practicing with Jenni. Thank you for providing an encouraging and welcome atmosphere! I’m excited to continue and see where it leads me!

Core work is so much more accessible after working with you.

First...
Jenni Sol Yoga’s Journey
I’ve always been a seeker. My life’s work has been about service, bringing people together, and having fun doing it. I’ve always sought out safety, power, and empowerment in all things. I’m also someone who needs to laugh, be light in the process, while still being the best I can be. I’m proud to say I am a mover and a shaker now, but it was not always this way.
Growing up I was a very shy, quiet kid who loved to dance, to do gymnastics, to simply move my body. Movement is a form of self-expression and use of energy that inspires me. I would dance and sing for hours by myself, and I always felt pure joy in the process. When I was 21, I became a ‘gym rat’ because I fell in love with how empowered I felt by getting strong. I loved running, and lifting weights, but I kept getting hurt - physically injured - in the process, which had a ripple effect on my mind. I knew I had to make a total shift.
and then...
I found yoga.
When the gym began offering yoga, I realized I needed a serious change so that I could stay sane, peaceful - joyful - without getting hurt. I began taking yoga as a compliment to running and lifting weights. The shift happened once I realized I could stay safe and still feel empowered by movement while practicing yoga. I also saw my low back pain disappear, my deep core strength improving, and I had better posture than ever in my life.
After a few years of finally feeling stronger and safer in my body I knew I had to teach. I had struggled for years prior trying to get clear about my life’s purpose. Following the constant pull toward yoga, I decided to pursue my first 200 hour yoga teacher training. Even though I was always petrified to stand up in front of a crowd and speak, I taught my first yoga class to 30+ people with hardly a waiver in my voice.
It was as though something else spoke through me - something greater, a feeling like I had never experienced. I had actually stood up in front of a crowd and taught. I knew then I had to make this come alive. The realization that I COULD be a yoga teacher, and a great one at that, became my life’s dream.

Finding my calling
As a new yoga teacher I meandered through multiple iterations of what that was ‘supposed to’ look like, feel like, and should be. I was becoming more confident leading others through a greater sense of calm and empowerment, while trying to find my own inner voice and life purpose. I had been practicing with as many different teachers as I could, and developed a home practice in the process to keep up with my own learning. When my daughter was born naturally from the power of ujjayi breathing (or ‘breath with sound’) I knew I had found something so incredibly powerful, so peaceful. And I felt more alive than I had ever felt. I realized then yoga had become my life’s true calling.
but then...
Becoming The Specialist
Ultimately, I just wanted to help people find their true power just like I had. During my first yoga teacher training I began leading basic Power Vinyasa and Ashtanga Modified Primary classes to interested individuals at a variety of locations. Soon after I again studied the human body and got in front of as many individuals as I could so that I could integrate other yoga styles and diversify my knowledge of modifications for every practitioner. The more I taught, the greater my knowledge became. Even though I loved working with people through the yogic lens, there were always gaps in my knowledge. I realized I needed to keep experiencing, studying, and practicing so that I could be a top yoga professional - a yoga expert.
but then...
What ‘Yoga Success’ looks like
When the first Covid lockdowns hit I had been teaching for close to 10 years, and most of that time as a full-time yoga professional. Everything I knew (and had grown on my own) had completely vanished. I not only had to reinvent how I helped people find their calm power if I wanted to keep teaching, but I had to reinvent myself. The medium through which I taught became virtual, and I took everything online so that I could continue to provide support and transformation through yoga. I decided to take on more studies AND grow Jenni Sol Yoga simultaneously.

Creating Your Methodology
By 2021 I had built Jenni Sol Yoga to include daily virtual yoga classes, meditations, pranayama practice, and masterclasses into what I titled The Yoga Badass Academy. The Yoga Badass Academy is a yoga school where students can take classes and courses to increase their overall skills and strengths in order to find true transformation.
Upon getting certified as a personal trainer (and now undertaking the nutrition coach training) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, I have the desire to work with people who need a total shift in lifestyle, through the lens of yoga. I want to create a greater impact in the lives of my students, and a holistic approach is a beautiful way to unite all the pieces together.
I am focused on helping my students find their light to a greater sense of health by offering live classes, Video On Demand, private yoga intensives & accountability sessions, and 1:1 consulting for wellness businesses.
Prior Yoga Badass Academy courses include:
*Basic Badassery: Yoga & Fitness Foundations,
*Handstands & Inversions
*Ashtanga Summer School,
*Handstands & Power Challenge,
*Yoga Teacher Mentorship Program: Launch & scale your Wellness Practice
I am currently offering 1:1 programs in these areas. Book your free consultation with me to learn more about how you can be transformed.

‘Yoga Success’ Moving forward
During the pandemic I also took an advanced 300 hour yoga teacher training in the Ashtanga tradition so that I could exceed my own expectations of how I can keep growing as a leader. My training was with world-renowned Ashtanga yoga teachers Kino McGregor and Tim Feldmann (and amazing company!) of The Miami Life Center: it was the first and only advanced Ashtanga training outside Mysore, India to be approved by the lineage holder, Sharath Jois. I've also completed my Certified Personal Training under the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and am almost finished with NASM's Nutrition Certificate. Whew!
Today, I am proud of what I’ve accomplished, and excited to hold the torch of this truly inspiring journey for my students.
I'm here to support YOU.
Now that I’ve gotten to this point I’m able to help hundreds of yoga students each year learn more about yoga, fitness, and health; not only as a safe, physical form, but as a philosophy that guides each of us to live in harmony with our world. Together, my students and I laugh (a LOT!), we learn, we play, we practice proper alignment to stay safe; and we continue to grow into the highest forms of our true selves.
finally
Creating Your Methodology
I like to think Ashtanga is for more ‘studious’ and serious yogis (it is a ‘teacher’s practice', afterall), where Power and Vinyasa Yoga are like taking my students on a field trip to the best and most diverse playground we can find. Because I teach from the lens of the Ashtanga lineage, I have a serious foundation that will last lifetimes; Power, HIIT Yoga, Yin, and Vinyasa Yoga help bring the play and lightness back in.
What I teach isn’t just ‘yoga asana’ - instead it’s a lifestyle that has a beautiful ripple effect in our world. I’m truly grateful to be a part of each individual’s yogic journey, and I hope to support yours.
Covid Precautions
I am currently working according to the Tompkins County Health Department requirements:
*I do not offer physical adjustments or assists at this time, unless previously discussed.
*We will be in contact prior to our meeting about how we are feeling; if there has been any possibility of Covid exposure or illness I ask that we postpone in-person sessions or classes.
Thank you for understanding.
I owe my handstand success to Jenni Sol because I haven't worked on it like this in a long time.
