Jennifer became an Army spouse in 2002 and raised a family while being an active volunteer in the military community, from FRG leader to substance abuse mentor. In 2012 she began her yoga teacher studies in Chicago with master yogi Kim Schwartz, and she continues to study with mentors from both the B.K.S. Iyengar and Ashtanga lineages. Jennifer has led and taught free yoga events for active duty soldiers, veterans, and military families at two of the seven duty stations where she has lived. It brings her great joy to blend two of her biggest passions together: yoga and the military community.
