9:00 am	Beginner Yoga COMMUNITY CLASS Jenny Wicke Jenny was introduced to yoga 15 years ago. In 2004, she completed her first teacher training program with Clayton Horton. She studied closely under his care and participated in his Mysore assistant program at Greenpath Yoga in San Francisco. She completed another "teacher training" with David Swenson in 2007. Her appreciation for Eastern practices, including Vipassana Meditation and traditional Ashtanga Mysore-style yoga, draw her continually to India. She has found the Ashtanga practice most useful to effect cleansing and self awareness. In India, she has studied under Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath and Saraswati, as well as Rolf Naujokat. Now, back in Texas, her intention is to inspire conscious living in her own community. Jenny's classes incorporate movement with breath to aid in circulation within each system of the body. This way, toxins can be released and the usage of energy becomes efficient. She works with beginners to build strength, stamina and flexibility. She encourages her students to use their practice as an opportunity to turn inward and find stillness.
