Emily

Emily is a West Michigan native who was called home to Grand Haven after spending the last 10 years in Chicago. While in Chicago she discovered yoga by getting dragged by a friend to a free intro week at CorePower and unexpectedly got hooked! She specifically fell in love with Yoga Sculpt (yoga with weights). She was drawn to this music-based class, the intense work-out, and the energetic feeling of moving and breathing together as a community. In between jobs, she decided to do Yoga Sculpt Teacher Training where her passion and connection to the yoga community was amplified. Her classes are upbeat, challenging yet accessible, and FUN. She is stoked to bring this format to West Michigan and hopes you will join her at Wildflower.

Jenn

From a young age, Jenn has always felt the healing energy from the forest and had a deep rooted love for nature. You can find her most days barefoot, taking time to pause and appreciate the gifts from our earth. She often weaves these elements into her Vinyasa classes to create a meditative and grounding flow allowing life to breathe through us in the present moment. She and Brittany Jaskowiak founded Sacred Moon School of Yoga in 2019 and love sharing their knowledge and passion of yoga, guiding others to find their voice and style in becoming yoga teachers themselves.

Dan

Yoga has been a part of his daily life for nearly 10 years, in which he has instructed for five. Dan loves incorporating functional movement with breath and upbeat playlists with flow. His hope is that each class challenges you in a different way so you can grow your practice and move freely throughout the world.
