YOGA ON MARS

TEACHER SPOTLIGHT ✨ JENNIFER PROTIVNAK
—————————
Jennifer (or Jenn) has been practicing yoga almost every day for almost 15 years. Her practice is rooted in about 7 years of fully home-based yoga. As a self-proclaimed “Movement Enthusiast”, Jennifer loves movement of all kinds - yoga (of course), hiking, biking, swimming, running, climbing, strength training, and playing any sport - but especially soccer or volleyball.

Jennifer became a 200hr certified yoga teacher in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Rocket yogic styles in April of 2021. Her favorite yoga classes to teach are creative Vinyasas & workshops focused on strength and skill building, as well as flexibility in yoga. Her classes offer students physically challenging flows that often work toward a peak pose.

She joined the Yoga On Mars community as a student in September 2022 and has loved both practicing and teaching here ever since! You can catch one of her classes at the studio Saturday mornings or Monday evenings.

Domenique, the owner of Yoga On Mars, is a certified Yoga instructor whose teachings are rooted in the Vinyasa Yoga lineage. While completing her 200-hour training in Vinyasa through One Point One Yoga in Bloomfield, Domenique gained an appreciation for cultivating a sustainable & purposeful Yoga practice, by interweaving breath work and meditation along with the physical postures. The philosophy of Yoga, and the practice’s ability to flip her perspective by encouraging self reflection, is what continues to inspire her today. Her personal practice is constantly evolving.

Domenique’s classes offer students the opportunity to move through challenging shapes and transitions, often working toward a peak pose. She loves to get students moving in unique, yet functional & healthy ways, that will inspire students to ask questions. As an instructor, she aims to empower students through this movement and exploration. Students can expect an emphasis on the anatomy of shapes in her classes!
