Jen was amazing!!! Very accommodating. We did a house call as a surprise birthday present for my mom. Even with my toddler nephew's shenanigans, the yoga session went smoothly and Jen was very sweet. My mom does have arthritis, so I appreciated how attentive Jen was to her. Overall, she was mindful of everyone's varied fitness level and injuries. We had so much fun!! 10/10 would recommend her!!! read more

Jen Su Yoga - Yoga Near Me - Fairfield, California

Jen is a wonderful yoga instructor! She came to teach a group class for us at our retreat. We managed to find a statum style area within the park close by and got settled in for the class. She put us through our paces with gentle but firm guidance. She gives clear guidance and demonstrates the initial movements for us and always made sure to offer modifications for any injuries or physical limitations people had. She watched each person and would help correct our poses and movements as we went. She is patient and humorous, making us relaxed and eager to learn. Would love to take her classes again! read more

Jen is one of the best teachers I crossed paths with! She is super thoughtful & compassionate. At the same time, very knowledgeable & focus on the needs of each yogis. Jen creates a friendly atmosphere makes me - as a beginner feels welcomed. Jen is super patient and guides everyone through the session. Every class I've taken leaves me excited to come back for more. I look forward to stay consistent with the practice and continue the learning. read more

Yoga Class: Jen is awesome! I've been going to her classes at work at Atlassian once or twice a week for the past few months, and I've never enjoyed a yoga class at work the way that I do with Jen. She's so knowledgeable, friendly and open. She makes it incredibly easy to push yourself and I've gotten a lot stronger in my practice since coming to her. Jen is incredibly informative and great at correcting postures, my form has improved a lot since coming to her - she explains the feeling of the postures and comes and actively corrects, it's been amazing! The classes are both hard and relaxing, with a nice blend of Vinyasa sequences and Hatha breathing. You'll leave every class feeling sweaty, energized and relaxed in your body - if you haven't tried her class, you should! read more

I love doing yoga with Jen so much! I love it so much that I wanted her to do yoga for my bachelorette party (but she was unavailable otherwise I totally would've had her come). I used to bench/squat and do weight-lifting exercises regularly, and I stopped for a while because I hurt my back deadlifting, and then my gym closed. I didn't expect yoga to make me as strong as I was when I was regularly lifting, but I feel really strong! I couldn't attempt crow pose at all when we first started, but now I can get my legs off the ground and stay there. And I feel better in general! My mind is constantly running, and Jen has taught me how to focus on my breath and slow down. She remembers people's names, their issues/concerns, and she is genuinely so friendly. She adjusts classes and poses for you and really understands how to set you up for success for really difficult poses. She's set the bar for all yoga instructors I will have in the future. read more

Jen took me from 0 to handstand in 6 months! I started with Jen with no knowledge of yoga or any poses. Thanks to her patience, clear explanations, and individual attention I was able to learn the basics quickly. Jen is also great at understanding the skill level of her class, especially once you go a few times. So the overall workout and specific poses are targeted to the skill of the group with adjustments available based on the skill of the individual. That combination, as well as the overall progression of Jen's classes, allowed me to learn much more quickly than I expected. I jokingly had a goal of doing a handstand, but Jen got me there! Amazing! Jen's overall yoga style is flow and pose-based, with smooth transitions from pose to pose. Most strength building is done in the context of poses, rather than separate strength exercises. Also, her classes have great music! Follow her on Spotify! Jen is a great teacher and a friendly person. Highly recommended! I will now end this review with the universal sound that connects all beings: Oooooooommmmmmmmm........ read more

Yoga Class: Great yoga instructor and able to work with a very diverse population. Is able to adapt and modify classes/movements for each individual. Wonderful energy that was able to create an amazing community. Jen taught classes in "themes" or "phases" where there was a common goal that people would aspire to accomplish. For example, all the core work and shoulder stability that people would practice every week would someday help people to do a handstand. Colleague: As the manager of the gym, Jen was a pleasure to work with. She was always willing to help me promote whatever program was going on at the time and help it thrive. Over the year that she was here, she was able to create a very strong and tight-knit community. When we had our "Squat Challenge," Jen would integrate hip and ankle mobility into her classes and encourage people to participate in the challenge. In a world where most yoga instructors cancel classes for reasons like their "chi is out of alignment," Jen is incredibly professional and good at communicating. For the few times she needed to cancel class, Jen made sure to inform myself and the members that she was going out of town weeks in advance. Each class started and ended on time like clock work. Overall: I would recommend any gym manager to hire Jen and I would recommend any yoga enthusiast to take her class. Thank you so much Jen! read more

Jen is the best yoga teacher I've ever had I love how she manages to make yoga fun, relaxing and challenging at the same time. I already had some experience before coming to these classes, but no other teacher was as knowledgeable, patient and deeply connected to the students as she is. read more

My office loved Jen so much we had to double our classes to twice a week! She is humble, thorough, and quite patient about our group's antics. We've been learning from Jen since September 2016 and it's pretty cool to see how far we've all come in this time. After only 4 months we had progressed to handstands (by request). Other notes from our employees: - calming voice - remembers our names - remembers our individual problems and follows up on them - gives lots of options for varying levels - very ~flexible~ depending on how everyone is feeling (too full/injured/sore/weak) - advances slowly and safely - takes the time afterwards to answer individual questions Definitely a fun bonding experience for a small office! You can't go wrong with Jen. You get a workout too. Seriously. read more

I've been taking Jen's yoga classes at work for a couple of months now, as my first attempt at yoga. I was hesitant and sceptical in the beginning, but I keep being amazed at how fun and challenging yoga can be. Jen is a wonderful instructor, she keeps things fun and good challenge for everyone. Thank you, Jen! read more

I worked with Jen for about 6 months of my yoga practice. Jen strikes a great balance between the health and fitness side of yoga, and the spiritual/mental aspect. Jen helped me a lot to work on my asanas, by being really detailed about the technicality of the position. While this was tough at first, it really paid off later as I was able to hold poses with greater ease and precision, which helped me relax and be mindful in the practice. I am moving overseas so won't continue my practice with Jen, and I'll miss her classes immensely. I can recommend her with the highest regard. read more

I'm extremely inflexible and have always had neck and back problems due to my computer job. I have tried many different yoga classes and came across Jen's and my search is finally over. Jen is patient with my less-than-perfect poses, and is very encouraging and helpful. Jen also does a great job holding her laugh in as she corrects my poses while I grunt to maintain stretches. Definitely going to try to make her classes at least every other week. read more

Jen Su Yoga - Oakland - Yoga Near Me - Fairfield, California

See all

I'm not a fan of Yoga. Yes I buy Yoga tops and pants but I just wear them and not for yoga. I tried Yoga through out college years (7AM class, what was I thinking back then?) and fitness center group class (imagine 50 people in the class... couldn't even breathe or move). I gave up on Yoga and I continue buying Yoga clothing so I feel like I'm part of the Yogies. Until Jen's private beach yoga class showed up on my feed, and my best friend was so eager to go and she threw a puppy eyes... and I guess I had to go with her. It was a nice Sunday in October, the weather was a bit chill but not cold. I was walking on the sand and struggling walking our way to the spot. My mind was flighting and seriously debating if I should turn around. "Yes, let's leave! Let's go home and sleep some more." "NOoooo! You signed up for this! DO IT." "Ugh it's yoga..." "Overcome your fear and stop being lazy!" ... things like that going in my mind during the short 5 minutes walk. #dramaqueen With continuously struggle and the class finally started. Surprisingly, all the voices were gone once Jen started talking. All I heard was the instruction and the sound of wave, all I saw was the posture and the clear sky, all I did was following whatever she asked us to do and it felt great. What's nice about the private class was that Jen and the staff came over to correct my postures and make sure I feel alright. It was a very nice experience and totally different than my previous classes. Jen has this special power to make her students calm and worry-free, as a previous anti-Yogie, I'd definitely recommend Jen to anymore who'd like to give Yoga a second try. read more

She is such an excellent instructor!! Loved each minute learning yoga as a beginner. Worth every second and penny spent doing yoga! Also she is very knowledgeable in the human anatomy and how to be mentally strong for all things coming at you in life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! (Especially if you're a noob like me) read more

Jen is an amazing yoga instructor. She comes into our office once a week and I look forward to yoga days time and again. This is my first time taking an actual yoga class and Jen is very patient and always makes sure that we are doing proper moves and adjusts us as necessary. She encourages us to build up strength ( I had no upper body strength when I started out and now I absolutely do) . She also takes the time out to ask the class what they would like to focus more on and that is very important. She is very accommodating and takes the time to make sure we are excelling and learning the proper techniques and she keeps it interesting. Thanks Jen for being so wonderful! :) Namaste. read more

I have been loving Jen's vinyasa class on Friday mornings at Moving Arts Studio in Excelsior! Jen is always checking in before class to see how everyone's bodies are feeling and if there are any special requests or injuries. During class her instruction and adjustments are right on - encouraging me to push myself a little harder while making sure I still have good form. Another aspect of Jen's teaching I really enjoy is her clear understanding of anatomy and how our Western definitions of our bodies translate to yoga. This makes her a very effective instructor. I highly recommend catching a class with Jen! read more

I took my first Yogini Jen vinyasa yoga class today, and it was amazing! She went at a steady pace, and gave enough verbal guidance to follow along. Her demonstrations really helped to see the precise movements and positions, so I felt sure that I wouldn't injure myself. I noticed she also provided alternate movements for the older people in the class and adjusted people individually, which I thought showed her attentiveness to each person's needs. Jen constantly smiled and spoke with a calm voice, which put me at ease. Even at times when I was struggling, she gave verbal support to let me push through and focus on breathing. I've taken other yoga classes before at Yoga to the People, but I feel like they move through the positions too quickly and it feels more like a cardio workout. I liked how I was sweating and felt sore after Jen's class, but it felt like I had stretched the right muscles and built up my strength. I am looking forward to taking more classes from her! read more

Jen is a great yoga instructor! I've tried different yoga classes before at Equinox & Yoga to the People and never really got into it, but I will definitely take class with Jen again! Jen taught a group class for our retreat, and she was very encouraging and helpful for the yoga newbies in our group. She talked through all of the poses & movements and helped demonstrate for us. We had a few injuries/physical limitations and Jen was great at providing alternatives, too. Jen could tell once we had gotten the hang of things and was very understanding and encouraging throughout the class. read more

Jen's yoga classes leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I wanted to start doing yoga to help my stretching and flexibility and improve recovery from weight lifting sessions. Despite having no experience and struggling with certain poses Jen made me feel welcome and comfortable and happily helped with any poses I was struggling with. Training with Jen helped with several aspects of my weight training, specifically I've noticed better squat mobility and reduced shoulder pain from bench pressing. I'd recommend Yoga with Jen to anyone who is looking for a great supplement to their strength training regimen. Thanks Jen :) read more

I had my first yoga class EVER with Jen as my teacher. Despite not knowing any of the positions, I was able to follow along due to Jen's instructions being clear and intuitive... so much so that other members of the class thought I was a regular! I highly recommend Jen as your yoga instructor, whether you're a beginner or advanced alike. Can't wait until the next class! read more

Jen is an amazing yoga instructor! I have been taking her classes weekly for several months now. Her classes are always varied so there's no chance of getting bored with the same flow as I've found with some instructors. She is also great at hands on assistance when needed and often her verbal cues allow me to make my own adjustments in the poses. Jen is clear and easy to follow in class whether you are just starting your practice or an experienced yogi. She packs in a full body flow in every class that will make you feel great! Jen is also very aware of any injuries or limitations you may have and always suggests modifications as needed for those students. Jen's attention to detail, super sweet demeanor and awesome teaching skills make me look forward to going to yoga class! Thanks Jen!! read more

A really great instructor! She knows how to give lots of modifications to make the poses easier or harder for a wide range of skill level to make the class enjoyable for all. Very good at explaining the poses and a relaxing way to break up the day. We definitely all enjoyed having her as an instructor! read more

Jen is an amazing teacher! I've been practicing yoga on-and-off for about ten years, but I've never had noticeable results before I started working with Jen. The environment of the class is extremely welcoming, and Jen knows how to guide yogis of all levels so that poses are accessible and understandable. I've been attending classes with Jen twice per week for about a year and a half, and I can feel definite muscle growth in places where I've never had it before. As someone who has never been athletic, this is extremely encouraging--I always block out time in my schedule for Jen's classes because they're essential to me. read more

In May of 2015, my grandmother passed away, and I was her caretaker. Prior to my grandmother passing I was doing yoga, but didn't really have that "connection" to my practice the way I could of had it. In May I started to take my practice deeper. It feels like Jen has been there for me spiritually, mentally and physically. With her very caring, and patient heart she by far is my favorite teacher that I have ever had. Her teaching can feel so personal with her style, and her ability to adjust the body if need be and her soothing voice & her healing hands! Like with anything, dedication is needed to practice meditation, Jen makes you want to show up to her class! I am grateful for her teaching and it has been life changing in more ways than one. If you are looking to grow in your strength and your humility she is your best teacher! I walk out of her classes feeling so refreshed. read more

Jen is a wonderful yoga instructor. She is definitely one of the reasons why I go to the yoga studio currently I am member. She is knowledgeable, gentle, conscious about people's injuries and sweet as a person. I usually like taking slow yoga and what I really like about Jen's slow class is slow yet powerful and effective to my body. I really recommend her yoga teaching to anybody. read more

Jen's great!! I take a weekly class with her in Oakland, and our class has practitioners of all different levels. Jen is considerate and offers different adjustments and challenges to the poses, so that everyone is comfortable (or challenged) according to their practice level. Her classes are a great workout, but I never feel stressed or pressured to go beyond what feels right for my body that day. She's doesn't push or nag those in her class, which isn't always the case with yoga instructors. She's always mindful to ask her class about injuries and preferences. Her classes are fun and energizing, and Jen's voice is very calming. Thank you Jen! read more

Hey, listen! I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started yoga, but under Jen's master yogini guidance, she ultimately had me flipping the dog by my second session, albeit maybe I had a little prior experience so temper expectations haha... Jen provided lucid instruction and helped demo and correct my poses. Her sessions were fun and enjoyable, and I highly recommend! However, for now, I can only dream about participating in more sessions since I don't live in the area; but whenever I do come into town, I will make it a point to make it happen! YOGINI JEN IS BEST YOGINI! read more

My experience with Yogini Jen is wonderful! - I have enjoyed Jen's enthusiasm, patience, love of yoga, and demeanor. She makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable in her lesson. With Jen's clear instruction and guidance, I had great practice for balance stretching, breathing and concentration. Jen is skilled and sensitive to individual needs as we each have unique physical abilities and responses. She is always encouraging and considerate of her students. I love how Jen brought positive energy mentally, physically and spiritually through her yoga lesson into my life! read more

Update: I went to Yogini Jen's beach yoga class and it was the best! Bringing the yoga class outside made me feel a stronger connection between my mind and body. It was so nice to do yoga while hearing the waves and looking into the ocean. Jen's class was on point: she led what to me was her most powerful and challenging class yet. And it was just plain fun! read more

I am so fortunate and grateful that Meyers Nave has Jen Su as the yoga instructor for the once-a-week yoga class. Jen has helped me restore my energy level and especially my strength after my knee surgery. When I first started the yoga class with Jen, I couldn't even bend my right knee at all, it was so stiff. Now I can bend up to 70% which is a great improvement. Jen is a tremendous and inspiring yoga teacher! She is knowledgeable and compassionate. She always provides clear and precise instructions. She offers options for poses since I still have limitation with my knee. A special thank you to you Jen read more

Let me just start and say that Jen is awesome. I've been doing yoga off and on for the past 5 years, never really got very far. Until I started practicing under Jen a couple months ago, and she helped me fall back in love with yoga (and stay dedicated). Not only is she knowledgable with the yoga poses and human anatomy (i.e. she knows the best techniques to avoid bodily damage) but also is wonderful at adapting her classes based on the needs/skills/goals of her students. Every class with her has been different and challenging which is what I'm looking for. Too often have I been to classes that seem to be on a loop or an instructor who only meets the needs of a small group of their students (e.g. the practice too easy or too advanced). I've never experienced that with Jen. I've seen not only seen improvements in my practice but also my love of yoga reinvigorated. read more

Jen is a great instructor and I definitely recommend her. I took her Vinyasa yoga class at square one. She made it very easy for me to follow the different positions. Before the class started she asked if I had any problems with pain. I let her know I have back pain. Throughout the class she modified some of the positions and asked me how I was feeling. She also made sure I was in each position correctly and made me feel good with her positive reinforcement. I've taken a few yoga classes in the past at my gym, but I have never had a yoga instructor that made me want to continue. I look forward to taking more classes with Jen. read more

I recently completed my first private yoga session with Jen. Jen is an excellent teacher. I liked that she asked me what my goals were before we started, then customized the session to match my goals. She walked the fine line between too-easy and too-challenging perfectly: when poses were either too easy or too challenging, she modified them so that they worked perfectly for me. She was patient, non-judgmental, and a pleasure to work with. I recommend her yoga instruction without hesitation. read more

Jennifer is a fantastic yoga instructor. She took the time to truly understand my needs and desires, before I began the postures, which I really appreciate. She is extremely attentive, and focused on helping me achieve my goals. Also, she is more knowledgeable about human anatomy and kinesiology than any other instructor with whom I've worked. She uses this knowledge to explain which muscle groups I'm working on, as I transition between various positions. She gives me a great workout, while allowing me to focus on the poses I enjoy most. This makes for a surprisingly enjoyable and satisfying experience, overall. This, in turn, has increased my motivation to get more deeply into yoga. The sessions are both calming and energizing. For all these reasons, Jennifer is the best yoga instructor I've ever had. I recommend her highly, regardless of your skill set and interest level. read more

I've been diagnosed with spondylosis and have had lower back issues for the past couple of years. I decided to try Jen's class primarily for the spiritual aspect of yoga, not knowing that the physical healing aspect would be just as important. Jen always makes sure to ask each student in class of any lingering injuries and if there are areas of focus within your body that might need to be addressed. The class is then modified to your request, with varying poses that Jen puts together and adds to the routine to address your specific needs. Jen has a natural gift of a positive, calm, welcoming, and happy energy that you will feel from your first conversation with her. She has the most soothing voice that always comes with the warmest smile, and she has the ability to teach very effectively from a place of genuine love for yoga and service to the betterment of each student's being. Jen is always striving to improve her classes and has always been there for me before/after classes to discuss what could be done better to help with my back condition. She's been aware of my spondylosis from the very beginning, and has always shown extra care to make sure that my injury is not aggravated. I've been taking her class 3 times/wk for about 3 months now and I could honestly say that my lower back condition has drastically improved. It feels much more mobile, loose, and much more pain-free. In fact, it is those days when I miss my classes when my back starts tightening up again. Jen Su has helped reinvigorate my life because of a healthier back. I'm starting to do more physical activities again because the overall pain and physical limitations have now subsided to a minimum. With or without an injury, I highly recommend taking at least one of her classes to understand everything I've described about her here. Her energy is truly authentic and special, as a yoga instructor and as an individual. Allow her to provide an enriching experience to your life as she has provided to me. I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for her dedication and passion to her craft. Thanks Jen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I just love and adore Jen, for being so calm and having so much patience at a young age. She is my mentor and I learn something new every time I attend her class. Earlier this year, I was having health issues and I was diagnosed with belly hernia. I was scheduled to have a surgery and get it repaired. But I started taking up Yoga classes with Jen at work. After attending a few classes, I noticed that my hernia pain had subsided to almost having no pain. I feel like I have so much energy, I am much calmer, and that I now know how to control my anger, if I do get upset. And this is all because of Jen. She has positive energy and vibes. I had never done yoga in my life and this was my first time taking yoga classes with Jen. Thank you Jen read more

In my online search I came across an entry for a new studio opening in San Mateo a short distance from our home. I read the instructor bios and immediately thought that Jennifer was way too advanced for me - she had experienced some injuries but she appeared much too young to be able to relate to my situation. However, the studio owner recommended her so I decided to go ahead and at least get a sense of what yoga had to offer. After our very first session I knew what a totally unexpected blessing it was that I had found just the right person to introduce me to the true nature of the yoga experience. The key ingredient for my success is Jennifer herself. First, although she is less than half my age, her own history of chronic pain and chronicle of frustrating treatments far exceeded my own - so she could relate to my current condition on a very personal basis. Second, she is non-judgmental and does not casually dismiss any of my concerns - whether they were physical symptoms or physiological limitations based upon fear of failure or increased pain. Third, and perhaps most important, she has an intimate understanding of the very real and destructive effects of the anxiety and depression that can accompany chronic pain - in my case made worse by "retirement" and loss of purpose. Fourth is her dedication to serving her client's needs and her incredible ability to modify her strategies to address new issues that were only revealed as sessions progressed. That is, she does not insist that a client adhere to a pre-conceived fixed "routine" that is meant to meet all needs. Instead, she works very hard to understand her client's issues and applies her knowledge and experience to select poses that will build strength, confidence and mental acuity. Many times she has had to stop, reassess my weaknesses and incorporate new elements (including non-yoga exercises) that will address those weaknesses before my practice can progress. Finally, her joyful spirit, steadfast faith in yoga, unending patience, unwavering persistence, and resilience allow her to help a person identify long held self-defeating behaviors and attitudes and refocus those energies into becoming part of the healing process. Although I had been aware of this element of yoga, I never gave it serious thought. But my experience with Jennifer has convinced me that this is in fact the most important element of all - that I must dedicate my efforts to creating a paradigm shift in my mindset in order to be able to "accept" my situation as it is day by day, not as it "should" be in some idealized scenario. Peace of mind seems such a simple platitude, but I have a lot of work ahead of me - and I feel so very fortunate to have Jennifer as my guide for the journey. read more

I first met Jen at my 2nd-ever yoga class when she was teaching at a gym near my home. She is truly wonderful! Her classes are simultaneously challenging and relaxing (I've only been to her Power Vinyasa Flow classes.) She is very welcoming to those who are new to their practice yet able to work with advanced students, as well. I highly recommend her! read more

Jen is a Master Peace Maker Yogini! She helps you gently push your body and mind so that you leave having had a good work-out, but also feeling restored with a tremendous sense of peace! read more
