Whitney 

Whetten

Through yoga and art, Whitney wishes to bring greater health, harmony, and happiness to individuals, to the community, and to the world. She began her journey with yoga when she took her first yoga class at the age of 15. She immediately knew that she had found a path worth exploring. Within a decade, she went on to receive her yoga teacher certification and has furthered her education with a 500 hour certificate and an aerial yoga teaching certificate. Having received her Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology and her minor in Dance at UNM, her classes are full of creative exploration and anatomical awareness. Through intention, breathing, asanas, and meditation, Whitney aims to leave her students feeling refreshed and renewed after each class.

Jennie Pletsch

Jennie first knew yoga would be an important part of her life in 2007 when she first began a regular practice in midst of the loss of her parents. Yoga was the aspect of her life that allowed her to process that trauma with some ease. Jennie began her study of yoga in Bhakti yoga which is the yoga of devotion or from the heart in 2011. She became a full time teacher of Hatha yoga in 2015, and continued to expand her knowledge through multiple YA approved trainings including Aerial yoga in 2017. She has led aerial and traditional yoga teacher trainings in Thailand and has recently settled in to Albuquerque with great gratitude to be able to share her practice with New Mexico!
