Jennifer Batson

Teaches at The Giving Tree Yoga Studio

Jen Batson was drawn to the world of movement at the age of 15, joining the Inertia Dance Company in her home town of Baltimore, MD in 1993. Her love of trying new experiences led her to yoga, where she was deeply moved not only by the physical aspect of yoga but also the deeper understanding of her body that she gained from continuous practice. After avidly practicing many different styles of yoga over the course of many years, Jen received her 200 hour certification in Vinyasa Yoga from New York Yoga in April of 2009. She has since studied under Jillian Pransky to gain her restorative yoga certification as well as with Biff Mithoefer to receive her Yin Yoga teacher certification both in 2010. Jen has since dedicated her teaching to providing a well balanced experience in the classroom by using breath awareness as it directly relates to asana practice; encouraging students to explore poses in an organic way for their body as a means to finding balance and benefit on and off of the mat.
