MEET THE TEACHERS AT EMPOW3R YOGA

Hi there! I’m Jenn Baker, a RYT200 yoga instructor and certified sound practitioner. My passion is in creating a space for others to reclaim their inner balance. Yoga is an integral part of my wellbeing, helping to combat the daily stresses of life. I’ve spent the last few years delving deeper into the therapeutic benefits of sound and how frequencies and vibrations can help to reduce stress and anxiety. When not on my mat, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, golfing, or bringing zen to the parents at the hockey rink!

I'm a RYT-200 yoga teacher who first discovered yoga in college. After undergoing back surgery in 2015, I found that a consistent yoga practice was essential for my physical recovery as well as my mental and emotional well-being.

I love sharing the practice with others and strive to create classes that are accessible and welcoming. Whether you're brand new to yoga or deepening your practice, my goal is to create a space where everyone feels supported.

When I'm not on the mat, you'll find me reading, running, or spending time with my two dogs, Olive and Otis. My husband and I recently moved to Colorado from Tennessee, and we've been soaking up all that our new home has to offer—hiking, exploring, and catching as many concerts at Red Rocks as we can.

Yoga is a huge part of my life. It grounds me and makes me stronger both physically and emotionally. My classes are created for you, in order to share what I’ve learned and love, to help you to become more fearless and flexible in life and within your practice. I seek for you to thrive in life by nurturing your body and mind by integrating breath to help you find peace within (along with wiping the sweat off your mat :)

I am a mother of an amazing son, Mason, who is back at college and two golden doodles, Bentley, 3-1/2 years old and Mercedes, 3 years old. The doodles keep me very busy and luckily I’m able to shut the door for my yoga practice, otherwise I would be practicing doodle yoga—wait, could that be a thing? Maybe that’s something we all could talk about, lol!

For me, yoga has always been more than movement — it’s a way to reconnect with yourself, quiet the noise, and create space for healing. 

As a Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist®, Holistic Wellness Coach, and the founder of Lunar Wellness & Nutrition, I bring a whole-body approach that combines mindful meditation, nourishing practices, and intentional movement.

Over the past decade, I’ve guided clients through gut health, hormones, stress, and energy challenges — while also sharing my passion for fitness as a Certified Personal Trainer and Yoga Teacher. I love weaving these worlds together: strength, yoga, and mindfulness, all working hand-in-hand to help people feel balanced and resilient in body, mind, and spirit.

When I’m not teaching or working with clients, you’ll likely find me hiking Colorado’s mountains with my husky, rock climbing, at a live concert, or simply enjoying time with friends. Wellness, to me, is about finding joy in the journey — and I can’t wait to share that journey with you on the mat.

I'm a board certified athletic trainer, personal trainer, injury prevention specialist, ergonomic assessment specialist, reiki practitioner, IIN holistic health coach, mindfulness educator AND a yoga teacher. My goal is to meet my clients where they are at and help promote sustainable habit changes, not quick fixes. I love seeing my clients trust their bodies and move confidently throughout their daily lives and hobbies. 

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training from Springfield College and got my personal training certification through NASM.  I've worked as an Injury Prevention Specialist for Fortune 500 companies to assist them in reducing their injury rates and implement site wide injury prevention and ergonomic programs.  I emphasize stability, strength and joint health as it's important to support our bodies for sustainable pain free activities.  

I've lived in NY, MA, a RV, ID and now CO. When I was 22, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was a major source of inspiration to take my healing into my own hands and live a life that felt more aligned with my body. 

In my free time you I'm hiking mountains with my husband and border collie, training for trail half marathons, reading, sitting around a campfire, or looking for the best chai lattes in Colorado.
