Jenay Martin E-RYT 20

Jenay first experienced yoga at the age of 17 when her dad took her to a class taught by Jill Minye. When she moved to the east coast for college, yoga became her grounding force, her home.  Through yoga she found the people who spoke her language.​  At twenty-one, she was certified thru Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in the Bahamas and in that month, her life direction changed.  Jenay opened Anjenaya Yoga Studio in Occidental, Ca where she teaches multi-level vinyasa flow classes. She is also the Founder and Director of The Lotus Feed Farm and Retreat Center.  Jenay is constantly transformed by the wisdom of her teacher, Shiva Rea and is extremely grateful for all that she ignites inside the hearts of her students.

Deneene Bell: Deneene started practicing yoga 25 years ago as an antidote to grad school in a sweaty little studio in Berkeley, CA. What started as a disciplined and cathartic experience evolved over the years into a greater manifestation of self-exploration, acceptance, and celebration that has guided her life as a mom, writing teacher, and creative. Her classes weave movement, breathwork, alignment, and philosophy into nurturing and empowering Vinyasa practices designed to be accessible and sustainable for all levels, all bodies, and all beings. She received her YTT-200 certification in Shri Yoga—a dynamic Hatha practice that emphasizes alignment while honoring the body’s natural intelligence through mindful practice—with Sienna Smith, a longtime student of Gary Kraftsow. Deneene also practices Reiki, leads local and international retreats, and facilitates women’s circles to share the transformative and healing nature of embodied expression in all forms: writing, art, breath, movement, ritual. She has lived in West County since 2000.
