Meet Jen Herman Benalt, LMSW, RYT 200

I am warm and welcoming with a whole lot of “quirky” mixed in. I love shoes, the color orange, traveling, baking, a really good burger, word games and all things New Orleans. The smell of coffee and hearing the leaves crunch under my feet make me smile. Watching re-runs of Gilmore Girls is my guilty pleasure. My dream dinner party guests include: Lucille Ball, Jimmy Carter, Mr. Rogers, Jim Henson, Nina Simone, Carol Burnett and Barack Obama. I live in Westchester County, NY with my hubby and kiddo. They are both loving, fun, super smart, creative and fill my life with great joy.

I have completed additional training with Kidding Around Yoga International and am a Licensee.

I am currently enrolled in a Yoga for All teacher-training program furthering my commitment that YOGA IS FOR EVERYBODY.

Working with children and families, helping them to develop self-confidence, and planting the seeds to lead with compassion is my joy and life’s work. I am honored to share the beauty & power of yoga with the community through my child, family, teen and adult yoga classes.

Jessica-Parent, Rye Brook, NY

It has been a gift to have Jen teach my children and their friends yoga in my backyard. Jen brings her incredible positivity and light to our class and shows the children a sense of normalcy and activity they have been craving. Jen brings songs, yoga poses, crafts, mindfulness and an open space for the children to share what is on their minds. My 5 year old and 2 year old adore Jen's classes. Jen's patience and ease with the kids is what makes her so special. We are so lucky to have found her
