What are students saying about us?


""The chair yoga class is wonderful. It builds physical strength, confidence, and awareness of one's self. Highly recommended. Excellent instructor.""

-Karen H.

"Highly recommend! I’ve been practicing with Jenny for about 18 months. She is dedicated to her practice and her students. Jenny is kind, funny, and actively engages in class with her students. She provides modifications when needed. Jenny worked with me for several months on strength prior to a total knee replacement surgery. My recovery has gone remarkably well due to the work we put in prior to my procedure. You can be in a class with several other students but still feel like the only one in the studio. I’ll be practicing with Jenny for a long time and hope to see new faces. You will not be disappointed!"

-Michelle A.

"After years of at home practice, I'm really happy to be in a studio with a real teacher and classmates. The class offers lots of fun camaraderie. Jenny's instruction is challenging and supportive. I learn something new every class. I especially enjoy Fun Fridays where we workshop positions. I'd gotten stuck in a rut with the same poses at home and now I'm stretching and building new muscles. Jenny offers many different class times and I look forward every time I get to go."

-Suzy H.

"Jenny is the perfect instructor for me. i have not been doing yoga long but she has been nothing but great. she's very easy going and makes class fun and very comfortable. if you are new to yoga i could not suggest anyone any better and if you have been doing yoga a long time i would also not hesitate suggesting Essential Yoga and Wellness."

Jenny Henderson

Hatha, Accessible, Oxygen Advantage

I help people discover the transformative power of breath and movement.

Whether you’re a senior seeking a chair yoga program, a student athlete looking to enhance performance, a first responder aiming to regulate your nervous system, or an adult seeking better mobility and functional breathing, I guide students through yoga and targeted breath work to build strength, flexibility, balance, and resilience, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

My journey began over 15 years ago, when life started spinning out of control. Yoga brought me back, giving me the tools and discipline to restore balance, eat healthier, become more active, and reconnect with myself. Later, I discovered Oxygen Advantage Functional Breath work, which transformed my asthma management, I am now 99% rescue-inhaler free. This experience inspired me to integrate breath work into my teaching, helping students improve lung capacity, manage stress, and optimize overall wellness.

Meditation, Coaching, Laughter

Any change we want to make in the mind must happen in tandem with the body. That is my yoga philosophy.

I believe if one can control their breath, one can control everything. What I mean by that is we have the ability to use our breath to slow our physiological responses to stressors and choose how to respond to them instead of simply reacting.

Balancing single motherhood, a full-time job, and graduate school all at once had me stressed beyond measure. I craved the stillness of my yoga practice. I soon fell into the rhythm that exists between body and mind. I believe if one can control their breath, one can control everything.

Reiki, Shamanic Healing, Tarot

My mission is to guide others in reclaiming their power and living the fulfilling, aligned life you’re meant to.

Why Bodywork, Yoga, Reiki, and Shamanic Healing Are Essential Additions to Therapy

Through practices like Shamanic Healing, Reiki, and bodywork, that trapped energy can be released, helping you heal deeply and completely. These modalities work to move the energy up and out, allowing your body and mind to find balance and wholeness.

Beginners, Strength, Connection

I am a 200-hour Registered Yoga teacher who loves helping people feel good in their bodies and a little more grounded in their day. My classes focus on mindful movement, breath, and listening to what your body needs - not forcing shapes or chasing perfection. After back surgery, yoga provided a path to healing which I strive to share with students. 

I aim to create a relaxed, welcoming space where students of all levels feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are.  Expect clear cues, plenty of options and encouragement to move in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.  Whether we’re flowing, slowing things down, or just taking time to breathe, my goal is for you to leave feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected.  

After retiring with many years in Social Services, Yoga provided healing and balance.  Yoga, to me, is about finding balance on and off the mat and feeling the harmony between mind and body.

Frequently asked questions

You can ...If you exercise to prevent or treat a (long list of) medical conditions, you may be able to use your pre-tax HSA/FSA funds for Essential Yoga and Wellness. To do so, you’ll need a Letter of Medical Necessity from a licensed provider to confirm that your expense qualifies as a medical expense.

We’re making it more convenient than ever to get this letter by partnering with Dr. B—a telehealth platform that offers $15 online consultations for common conditions. Just start an online fitness consultation, and they’ll handle the rest!

Here’s how it works:

  • Go to hidrb.com/and/essentialyoga for a one-time $15 online consultation. (No appointments or video call required!)

  • If you qualify, receive your Letter of Medical Necessity, valid for 12 months, via email within a few hours.

  • Submit your letter and Essential Yoga and Wellness receipts purchased on or after the date of your letter to your HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement.

We offer both in-person and online classes to accommodate different preferences and schedules. Our online classes allow you to practice from the comfort of your home, while our in-person sessions provide a more immersive experience and direct interaction with instructors.

The frequency of practice can vary based on individual goals, but generally, practicing yoga 2-3 times a week can lead to noticeable improvements in flexibility, strength, and overall well-being. Consistency is key, so even short daily sessions can be beneficial.

We offer a variety of yoga styles to suit different needs and preferences, including Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Adaptive/ChairYoga, Meditation, Family/Kids, Movement classes and more!

While we provide yoga mats and basic props (blocks, straps, blankets) for use during class, many students prefer to bring their own mat for hygiene reasons. If you have any special props you like to use, feel free to bring them along.

Absolutely! We offer classes for all levels, including specific beginner-friendly sessions. Our experienced instructors provide modifications for all poses, ensuring that everyone can participate safely and comfortably, regardless of their experience level.
