Jenny Chao
Jenny has been fascinated with the living human experience from a very young age. She recognized there was more to self-understanding than our eyes could see and our bodies could experience outwardly. She has curiously questioned the intangible that could only be felt in the deeper aspects of our lived experience for the bigger part of her life.
Jenny discovered the yoga practice as a teenager who was interested in meditation and has been engaged in continued self-inquiry ever since. As someone who has managed years of chronic pain, moved through various debilitating health conditions and struggled with depression in the past, Jenny realizes the gifts that yoga and meditation offer us in empowering oneself in our own healing process. As a guide and teacher for the practices of yoga, mindful movement, meditation, breathwork and sound, Jenny’s intention is to support others in innate self-connection to ignite deeper understanding and self-agency to one’s own living experience. She recognizes that these contemplative practices are great tools for navigating life so that it feels well-aligned, peaceful and fully embodied on all levels, widening a person’s capacity for compassion, groundedness and a holistic life; in addition to simply existing in this modern world. Jenny believes that you are your own greatest teacher and the practice supports the innate connection and understanding to living authentically as you.
Jenny has been sharing mindful embodiment practices in the New York City metro area, as well as virtually online, to private clients, public groups, corporate companies and through special events for 10 years and has been a practicing student for over 2 decades. Jenny is a proud member of the New York Nike Well Collective Trainer team, is a teacher trainer and holds thousands of hours of training in various movement and meditation modalities. She recently completed her Yoga Therapy certification and works to envision new environments where self inquiry, inner connection potential healing can be engaged in our present day life.
