November 2025 Student of the Month: Jennie

Meet Jennie

Hello everyone! My name is Jennie and I am married to my best friend, Brandon, for 10 years. We have two beautiful children, Belle, 2 years old, and Ollie who just turned one. I am a former elementary school teacher and loved educating young minds for 8 years, and now I am a stay at home mom. I absolutely love homeschooling Belle and take field trips on a weekly basis, so our days are pleasantly busy.

When did you start taking classes with PYLV?

I joined the PYLV community back in July and have enjoyed it ever since! 

What have you learned since taking classes with PYLV?

What I have re-learned since taking classes is that it’s important to take care of yourself. As a mom, it’s natural to put your kids first. But we also need to be healthy and take care of ourselves and our body. 

What is your favorite yoga pose?

My favorite yoga pose has to be downward dog, especially when I’m doing yoga with my kids! They love crawling underneath me and just have endless fun!

How has your practice impact your parenting?

Practicing yoga has made a positive impact on my parenting because it gives me extra tools to teach my kids. My daughter loves attending the TOT & Me class with Miss Flavia, and one of the big take aways for Belle is the breathing exercise (especially the breathing balls). So when Belle has big feelings, we utilize our breathing exercise from yoga to recenter ourselves.

What would you tell a new parent considering taking prenatal or baby & me yoga classes?

For new parents that are considering about prenatal or the baby and me classes, I 100% say go for it! Not only are you giving time to yourself and your kids, but you’re joining a wonderful community that’s there for each other. Everyone wants to see you grow in this journey, and I am glad that I took the leap.
