Jen Cuebas
Jen interweaves ancient healing practices of Hatha yoga, herbal medicine, and wholistic nutrition to nourish and empower herself and others on their wellness journey.
At the heart of Jen’s practice is guiding ways to invite ease into our whole being and nourishing the nervous system as a bridge to trust and remember our intrinsic wisdom, healing, wholeness and truth.
Jen’s Intrinsic Yoga classes are an integration of an easeful Hatha yoga flow, intuitive movement and opportunities to connect to Gaia’s elements and rhythms. She may share some herbal medicine, oracle cards or aromatherapy, if it’s in alignment with the class. Students have described Jen’s classes as calming and grounding, as she invites you to bring your whole self to the mat, which also includes whatever you are holding in your heart. You will be encouraged to get curious and create compassionate and loving self inquiries, while using the asanas, meditation and pranayama as a bridge to really tune in to what your body, heart and soul truly need. Each and every breath can be an opportunity to go deeper, listen intently and access your intrinsic healing and magic.
Jen has been on a healing quest since she was an adolescent in NYC, where she was born and raised. Her personal health concerns, and that of her loved ones, inspired her to explore various healing modalities at a very young age. And now, for many, many moon cycles, she has been sharing the gems she’s gathered along the way.
Jen will never forget her first yoga class when she was going through a health crisis, crying in Savasana, the yoga instructor invited the class to let go and let the earth hold them up. That one simple and powerful invitation, to release and trust, gave her hope and inspired her to complete a 500-RYT, for personal healing initially, and encouraged her to continue exploring ways to feel safe, healthy and whole.
Jen currently resides in the SF Bay Area and creates heartful spaces to share practical and sustainable wellness tools for wholistic soul-care. She guides individual/group yoga classes, herbal medicine-making workshops, womyn’s moon circles, and has created her own herbal product line named Intrinsic Formulas. She is currently guiding a Soul-Care program for previously unhoused youth, working towards permanent housing.
She feels that so much of the healing and thriving happens in community and that we are definitely not meant to do any of this life journey alone.
Jen looks forward to sharing and connecting her healing heart with yours on the mat.
