Who is Awaken Yoga?
All of my students, my teachers and friends make up my Awakening. I founded
Awaken Yoga within my first year of teaching, without really knowing what
I was doing. I followed my heart and the universe's intent and now here
I am, a school, a therapist, a teacher, and above all an ever-learning student
humbled by what I find within each breath.
I am Jennifer Langsdale (formerly Kovalchik) a Certified Yoga Instructor,
Certified Yoga Therapist, Experienced Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) by Yoga
Alliance Standards and Director of Awaken
Yoga School which is a Registered Yoga School for Yogic Studies to certify
students to the level of a 300 hour certificate. The goal of this school,
is to create Yoga Professionals as well as Teachers who will keep the traditions
of yoga in their teachings and their hearts. I hold a 1,000 hour Experienced
Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) credential from the Yoga Alliance, as well as 200
and 500 hour certificates from the TRY 4 Life School. I have studied with

Tree Yoga since 2007. I live with my husband and my three furry companions
by the lake where the source of all life began.
