Jen Eddins
Jen Eddins is an E-RYT 200, Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, personal trainer, health and fitness blogger, and published author. A highly sought-after yoga teacher, presenter, and yoga teacher trainer, Jen leads yoga workshops and trainings throughout the United States. In 2018, after teaching numerous yoga teacher trainings in Charlotte, NC, Jen signed-on as the Lead Teacher Trainer for VIDA Hot Yoga.
Jen’s extensive career in yoga and fitness, combined with her distinctive ability to authentically present yoga history, philosophy and practice add to her appeal as a lead teacher trainer. Some of Jen’s unique contributions as a teacher trainer include her ability to teach safe and effective hands-on-assists, expert cuing, and intelligent sequencing. Jen’s teaching in the classroom is comparable to the way she teaches yoga in the studio: a very no-nonsense approach that is enjoyable and challenging but provides structure in an optimal environment for yogis to reach their full potential.
