About Jennifer Golden:
Jennifer Golden is the co-owner of The Yoga Center Retreat and first discovered yoga in 2007 when she dropped into an Ashtanga class. She has been practicing yoga ever since and completed her 200-hour YTT in 2019. She knew that becoming a teacher would be the best way to share her passion of mindful movement with others, as well as give back to the amazing community that has enriched her life in so many ways. Her goal in every class is to create an environment where you can let go of your expectations and find the inner stillness that can only be reached by linking mind, body and breath.
