JENN GERRITY-HICKMAN

RYT-200, Certified Trauma Informed Yoga & Meditation, & Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Facilitator, Vinyasa

 

Hey there! I'm Jenn — Co-founder of Embodied You Holistic Wellness, Yoga Lover, Mindfulness Guide, and SEL Superfan!

​

I've been on the yoga journey for almost a decade, starting with just wanting a good stretch and ending up falling in love with the whole mind-body-spirit thing. Turns out, yoga is way more than just cool poses—it's a deep, magical, sometimes messy path to healing, growth, and inner peace (with a few wobbly tree poses along the way).

​

I teach with a big heart and a gentle, playful vibe—combining movement, breath, and mindfulness in a way that feels authentic, inclusive, and totally human. My approach blends traditional yoga wisdom with modern practices like somatics and trauma-informed care, all wrapped up in a cozy, welcoming space where you can just be you. 

​

By day, I'm a K-2 Special Education Teacher who sneaks yoga and mindfulness into the classroom (shhh, don’t tell the kids—it’s actually good for them!). I also team up with local schools to bring yoga to students and athletes, and basically say “yes” to any chance I get to share the benefits of yoga with the community.

Off the mat, you’ll often find me hiking through nature with my spouse of 17 years,watching a good thriller movie with my soul level son,  baking sourdough while sidestepping five fur babies who clearly think they’re in charge, digging in the garden to connect more deeply with Mother Earth, or curled up with a good book—depending on the season and my caffeine levels!

​

I can't wait to connect and share the magic of yoga with you. Let’s breathe, connect and grow together one asana at a time.
