Jeni Nelson-Fagan

Immediate love of restaurants; the energy, the creativity, the food! She attended Culinary School at the New York Restaurant School where she received Pastry Arts training and later transferred to The Art Institute of Colorado where she graduated with her Associates of Applied Science in Culinary Arts. Over the last 20 years, she has had experience in all aspects of the restaurant industry. Jeni started her yoga journey over 20 years ago. Once she started practicing, there really was no turning back. Yoga has been there, ebbing and flowing through her personal journey; A place to feel supported and safe through her culinary career and raising her children. A constant, magical, sacred place. In 2015 she decided to take it to another level and enrolled in Teacher Training at CorePower. She felt, that she was at a point in her yoga practice to truly focus on giving back. Receiving her 200 HR and starting to teach, only drove her passion for bodies, breath and transformation. Needing more than the physical asana, she found her way to Samadhi Center for Yoga, to enroll in their 500 HR Extended Teacher Training. This journey has strengthened her own practice, her teaching and knowledge far beyond anything she could have ever imagined! Jeni is currently enrolled at the Yoga Veda Institute, working towards getting her Ayurveda Practitioner license. Where she can incorporate further, the wisdom of personal nutrition and spirituality of yoga. Her focus is on creating intentional breath to cultivate awareness through body and mind. Slowing down to feel and embracing the quiet spaces between and the power in stillness. Jeni is a natural at helping people learn what their bodies need for balance; Nourishing body and soul through mindful eating and movement.
