Jen Holmes

I'm Jen and Yoga is a part of me and my everyday life. I began practicing while at university in 2014. It helped me escape stressful times and the confines of my own mind.

Time went on and Yoga was something I picked up and dropped. And every time I picked it back up, I noticed a deep sense of connection to myself & the wonderful benefits it brought me.

The end of 2024 came and my life completely changed. My long term relationship had broken down. Everything I'd looked ahead to in my future, was no longer promised.

I fell into a toxic relationship and when I managed to leave, I had to take some time to focus on myself and observe what I actually wanted for my life.

Yoga came calling and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to redirect my life. To finally pour energy back into myself.

I spent 3 months travelling, mainly throughout Thailand - during which I completed my 200 hour teaching training April 2025, in the beautiful Yoga school of One Yoga on Koh Phangan. And is the most sacred, special time of my life so far.

I learned so much about myself, began the process of facing my demons, grew in ways I never could have imagined.

The 4 week course was intense and tested me in many ways. But it stripped me back completely to who I am at my foundation. And provided me with everything I needed to start my own journey as a Yoga teacher.

I now teach both Hatha and Vinyasa - within all my practice I place significance on listening to our own bodies.

Self compassion is at the heart of how I teach. And this acceptance and love for the self has actually saved me.

So I now want to offer this to others and hope they can take something from my sessions that serves their lives in one way or another.
