291 East 222nd StContact 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 Shiva Rea of Sumudra Trainings and am close to a 200 hour certification in her Vinyasa Flow School, Karen Alligare, Iyengar teacher and owner of Green Tara Yogic Arts, Twee Morrigan assistant to Shiva Rea, YogiRaj, Jan Hauenstein and Judy Bar of the TRY 4 Life School and Heartlight Yoga. I am currently seeking an additional certificate in Yoga Therapy with Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy.
My
inspirational teachers are Krishnamacharya, TKV Desikacher, BKS Iyengar,
and Swami Satyananda who I hope to meet one day in spirit or in person
and learn to keep the tradition of yoga alive. I have been a part of Nishkama Yoga
Studio and One
Tree Yoga Studio since 2007. I live with my husband and my three
furry companions by the lake where the source of all life began.
