Move Well With Jen Non

A bit delayed in posting but here’s my June schedule of classes! See you on the mat 🧘🏻‍♀️

So I did something a little crazy.

Your sometimes-uncoordinated, sometimes-out-of-beat yoga teacher is now officially a certified barre instructor 🥹

Beyond the physical demands of the practice, it was the mental aspect that really challenged me: creating intelligent sequences, staying on beat, and being several steps ahead so you can seamlessly cue the next movement a few counts before the switch.

But as they say, the only limitations you have are the ones you place on yourself. Good thing I’m willing to bet on myself every damn time.

Eternally grateful for ’s guidance throughout the process and for cheering all of us on from start to finish. Full-circle moment: years ago we were fellow teachers at different neighborhood studios and gyms, and this month I got to be her student 🥹 Also so grateful to for hosting such a welcoming space for all of us throughout the training 🫶🏽

Also so grateful for the amazing support and energy from my fellow trainees - our time together was brief, but so fun and memorable 🫶🏽

And of course, thank you for volunteering as tribute for my practice teaching class 😂

coming soon 😉😂

Schedule for May is up!

Limited classes this month as I'll be doing a short training course mid-May (and also a taking quick holiday break towards end-May).

Hope to see you guys on the mat soon.🧘‍♀️

There’s been a lot happening lately - in the world and closer to home - and I’ve noticed how easily it can build into stress or anxiety.

April being Stress Awareness Month felt like a good reminder to come back to a few simple practices that help me regulate and reset.

These are some of the ones I keep returning to - especially on days when I feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in my head.

Sharing in case you need it too 💜

What helps you reset when things feel like too much?

P.S. These are tools that have helped me, but they’re not a substitute for professional support. If things feel persistent or overwhelming, it might help to speak with a qualified mental health professional.

If you’re in the Philippines, has a validated directory of mental health services and organizations (mentalhealthph.org), and .health has an easy-to-book platform with licensed professionals.

I recently joined Hati Health x Breathing Room’s EmpowHer Series – and beyond the workouts, what really stood out were the conversations around women’s health.

From BMI and strength training, to broader gaps in research and representation, these sessions were both empowering and thought-provoking.

Over the past few years, I’ve also been intentionally incorporating more strength training into my routine – especially knowing how important muscle mass is for women as we age. This felt like a timely and meaningful reminder.

I also appreciate what .health is doing – not just through events like these, but by actively working to bridge gaps in women’s health and empowering women to take charge of their wellbeing.

Thanks .health x .ph + partners and for the sessions and giveaways 💜

April group class schedule is up! See you on the mat 🧘‍♀️

I've enjoyed sharing my practice at Greenhouse At Village Square Alabang these last few weeks. Catch my last Saturday session tomorrow 4pm, if you're in Alabang!

The session is free to attend, just bring your own mat.

If you tend to think it’s all or nothing — especially when setting New Year resolutions — here’s your reminder that something is enough.

I used to think habit-building meant going all-in, but honestly, starting small is what actually sticks. Ten minutes of moving is better than none. Adding a bit of greens to each meal is a more sustainable way to eat well than following a highly restrictive diet. Taking a quick pause outside is better than pushing through.

These small habits aren’t flashy or dramatic, but they add up. And they’re easier to come back to on busy weeks — which is when I need them the most.

One small habit I’ve added to my mornings is a glass of Birch Tree Adult Boost with breakfast, especially on busy days. It’s an easy way to support my energy and iron levels, and just one of those simple routines that genuinely makes a difference for me.
