Jenny Barrett

Introduced to yoga during college at California State University, San Marcos, where she obtained a bachelor of science in psychology, Jenny connected immediately to Yoga's healing benefits. While exploring various styles of Yoga, Jenny was inspired and moved by the traditional style and the discipline that Ashtanga Yoga had to offer. She began her committed practice in 1997 under Tim Miller at the Ashtanga Yoga Center in Encinitas. She has been a devoted Ashtanga practitioner ever since. In 2004 Jenny completed a yoga instructor certification through Tim's teacher training course in Encinitas. Jenny is thankful to all her teachers, Tim Miller, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Mary Jo Mulligan, Dena Kingsberg and all her yogi friends and mentors Shannon Thompson and Amrita Saracini.

Jenny began teaching yoga in 2000 to young women at Shakti Rising in San Diego, California. Shakti Rising is a leading-edge organization providing holistic, gender-specific and trauma informed services to young women ages 15-30. She has continued to teach Ashtanga and Vinyasa flow throughout San Diego. Jenny has come to know the many healing and transformational benefits Yoga offers and is inspired and determined to share this five thousand year old science with others.
