YOUR INSTRUCTORS

YIN YOGA & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 

I am Jennifer, a Yoga instructor certified by YOGARENEW.

After being a director for many years, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that modern life has on mental health. Both my team, colleagues, friends, and I dealt with stress, and I could see how it eroded our self-esteem and overall well-being. The demands of the workplace, combined with the fast pace of our personal lives, leave little room for true self-care.

Over the last year, I dedicated myself to exploring various techniques and methodologies to manage stress and strengthen self-confidence. I experimented with yoga, meditation, dietary adjustments, coaching practices, and travelled around the world. These experiences transformed my life, helping me achieve a sense of balance and renewed self-esteem. However, they also made me realise that human beings are complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

This journey inspired me to create MyShiftUp, a platform designed to unlock balance and well-being for all through simple and effective techniques and practices.
