Jen “Pirate” Stafford LPTA, RYT
Jen is a certified “advanced yoga instructor” and provides classes throughout Central Florida. Jen received her 200 hr. basic training from School Yoga Institute and yearning for more, immediately went into her 300 hr. advanced yoga training. She graduated as an advanced yoga instructor from Wildflowers Yoga Studio in Gainesville, FL. she has been teaching yoga to help others ever since.
Jen is also a licensed physical therapist with 18 years of experience specializing in orthopedics. Becoming less satisfied with her work in PT since “corporate” health care has taken over. Jen believes in quality hands on care, which is, unfortunately, slowly diminishing from the standard many receive today. She has been a practitioner in yoga for many years and decided that the best way for her to live her passion of helping others was to incorporate it into her patient treatments, especially the importance of focused breathing. A mind-body connection is essential in overall health and healing. Jen blends her clinical skills with her knowledge of yoga to create a powerful tool for healing. Jen loves the feel-good stretch poses, but many of her favorites have become the balance and strength building poses, i.e., Tree/Warriors, ever reminding her that she can focus and breathe through all of life’s challenges.
Jen says, “Yoga and helping others are my passion”!
