Owner and Lead Instructor of Shakti School of Yoga, E-RYT 500 with over 6,200 teaching hours.
Jennifer Bridwell is the owner and lead instructor of Shakti School of Yoga. She has been registered with Yoga Alliance since March 2018 and has logged more than 6,200 teaching hours — the kind of mileage that only comes from standing in front of real rooms, year after year.
She holds E-RYT 500 registration, the highest level of experienced teacher registration Yoga Alliance offers, and is a YACEP continuing education provider. Alongside running the school, she teaches at Sumits Yoga in Scottsdale.
The 200-hour program she designed is built to fit around a working life. Students work through the coursework online at their own pace, then join her in Scottsdale once a month to practise teaching in front of a real room — the part of training that cannot be learned from a screen.
Her range covers flow and alignment-oriented yoga, hot and heated classes, fitness and gentle yoga, and spiritually-oriented practice. She works in Sanskrit and is currently learning Hindi.
Her graduates describe a nurturing environment, a dedication to each student's individual growth, and a curriculum that reaches well past the physical postures. As one RYT 200 graduate put it, she "will go into depth about numerous topics that open your eyes to so much more than just the asanas" — and, just as importantly, she instils the confidence needed to stand in front of a class.
Every body belongs
on the mat.
The program is open to dedicated practitioners ready to deepen their practice and become confident, qualified teachers — no matter your age, body type, or flexibility level.
