Jennifer Borrowman is a Philadelphia area based Yoga Teacher with over twenty years of experience as a Physical Therapist. She completed her Yoga Teacher training in 2011 with the British School of Yoga, received her MA in Russian Studies from Saint Andrews University in Scotland, and her BSc in Physiotherapy from Manchester University in England.

As a Yoga Teacher, Jen's priority is for students to feel both inspired and safe as they practice yoga. Her gentle physical and verbal adjustments allow students to challenge themselves while preventing injury. The non-judgemental environment in her classes helps students to practice kindness towards their bodies. Jen teaches self-awareness, so students are empowered to discover where they need to build more strength or more flexibility. She encourages students to find patience, compassion, calm steadiness and trust in themselves, while creating space in the body and mind, and following the breath as a guide.

My passion for fitness began over 20 years ago, after staying home with my first son and realizing I needed time for myself! I began taking yoga classes once a week to add to my fitness routine. At first, it was solely for the physical practice but I slowly began to realize it was so much more. In 2014, I found healing on my mat as I struggled with a devastating health diagnosis. During treatment I put all other fitness routines on hold and solely came to my mat. It was at this time that I realized just how much more yoga was than a physical practice. I found peace and comfort on my mat while still being challenged. I realized the time spent on my mat brought strength, calmness and helped clear my mind. I knew I wanted to deepen my practice and share this with others
