For Jeni, spirituality and faith has always been integral to all aspects of her life. An athlete from childhood, Jeni began her yoga journey at the gym in the mid 90s and initially approached yoga as she had with dancing, running, and soccer thinking of yoga as a purely physical practice. Yet, when Jeni began to practice Bikram Yoga in 2006, she suddenly felt the power of yoga: the physical, mental, and spiritual paths in her life blissfully merged.

Left wanting to know more, Jeni studied Ashtanga, Iyengar and Anusara-inspired Vinyasa yoga disciplines and has found a beautiful medium in her practice and teaching. Her classes are vigorous, creative, safe and uplifting while empowering students to seek inner paths of discovery and improvement. Jeni completed her 200-hr yoga teacher training at Prana Yoga Center in La Jolla. She has received her 500-hr certification through YogaWorks at Prana Yoga Center under the mentorship of Stacy McCarthy. As the practice of yoga is an on-going self-discovery, Jeni continues to be inspired by her two primary mentors and takes classes with master teachers wherever she goes. It is her passion to continue to grow and share in the journey.

Jeni, who is fluent in Korean, has traveled widely and enjoyed success in a variety of careers: from singing to teaching overseas. She currently teaches ESL and children's literature at schools in La Jolla and Sorrento/Carmel Valley in the day time.

It is an utter joy to know that the triumphs and struggles on the mat can also translate to life off the mat: be still, surrender, let peace reign, always learn, build, accept, and love
