About Me

~Hi! Thank you for being curious about what I love to share in this life. There are so many things asking for our attention. I am right there on the journey with you…of learning to be a better human and trying to remain curious about our behavior, our bodies, and our actions while we are on this planet. I am currently STILL working on a new website/domain name and hope that that shift will finally happen later this year.

In the meantime, please read on if you want to know more about my evolution…or you can find me on Instagram: @jennpfalk.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I teach, share, and endlessly learn about how our body and mental-emotional states are connected. I love all mindful movement practices, Yoga, and so many sports + recreational movement as well. I also have a 20 year practice of living with the lunar cycles, and learning about the Moon, astrology, tarot, and how to listen to myself as part of nature. I am married and a mother of 2 kids, living in the Boston area of MA.

There has always been something special to me about finding meaning in periods of repetition, and in practice. I first learned of Yoga in my late teen years and it deeply resonated for me. I had been a competitive athlete in various sports since I was a child, so I began to observe how my emotions and nervous system played a role in how my body would perform in sports or react in social interactions. Discovering Yoga is how the curiosity of mind-body connection practices began.

In college I participated and trained as a XC/track student athlete. While engaged with the juggle of that and my studies, I struggled with big waves of anxiety and needed support in learning to find balance for my sensitive nervous system. It was then that I began my deeper journey into learning and practicing Yoga. This changed the course of my life ever since. And, while at school in Southern California I also studied biology, and took classes in geology and marine science, which helped further my interest in nature and its cycles.

As a lifelong Moon enthusiast, I do not remember a time that our shared cycling orb has not held my attention. I have always been drawn to the lunar cycle and nature’s lessons. As a young person, I would regularly climb fences or trees to sit with the Moon, and have had lunar observation practice to this day. In 2018 I released a book on how I like to practice and teach, called Lunar Love Flow.

So—

I have been a Yoga student since 2000 and became a teacher of the practice in 2006. I did my first teacher training in the Philadelphia region, and then moved to Boston and have been here ever since. For a few years in my 20’s, I worked various jobs in an effort to work toward teaching/sharing Yoga full-time. That then shifted in 2011 when I had my first child. Parenting changed my movement and philosophical exploration even further. I feel like I have been many versions of myself over the last decade and counting. Yoga very clearly taught me to live the practice in all the ways, especially beyond the mat.

Currently my main practice involves my husband and I raising our two young children (now elementary-aged). But I have also been in the deep immersion over the last 6+ years of figuring out how to explore the evolving landscape of mindful movement + spirituality while breaking down and questioning white supremacist patriarchal delusion in myself and all around us. Not mention facing my own family generational patterns that need healing. So even after practicing for over 20 years and being submersed in the sharing of the practice for so long, so much of where I am now stems from surrendering to all that I still do not know. I am committed to the unlearning/relearning, and to remaining a constant student.

When I do teach movement/yoga classes, I create and share them in a way that aims to meld knowledge of the connection between physical movement, our emotional and mental states, and honoring the current season+cycle we are in. I like to try to stay aware of all the humans in attendance, and work from a trauma-sensitive, accessible place. It is a constant practice as our culture continues to evolve.

The areas for which I have spent more extensive study are: hatha yoga, vinyasa yoga, yin yoga, restorative yoga, prenatal and postpartum yoga, yoga for kids+teens, mindful strength movement, intuitive energy work/reiki, astrology, tarot…and it all continues to flow and weave as part of what I practice and teach. I love flowing through the intersection of mystery and science, and aim to always keep a discerning mind and heart.

I have studied and practiced in various cities and with a wide variety of teachers for whom I am grateful for. I have lived through, participated in, and learned from the Yoga boom of the last 2 decades, but am most grateful for the lived experience and of mistakes made. Such experiences have come while teaching, while under the influence of big-name teachers, from trying new things and putting myself out there, and from not always practicing what I preach. My approach to Yoga is to be able to reflect, transform, and stay curious about what and why we practice. My most impactful teachers have been the people in my local communities with whom I have shared space in yoga practice and beyond, and also my friends and loved ones. It is in these everyday relationships that you can truly decipher internal and external patterns, and learn how to grow. I have loved being a part of independent studios in Somerville + Cambridge,MA for the last 15 years. We will see what the future holds, as I am currently not teaching a regular schedule of classes and the studios I have been a part of for over a decade have now closed since the Covid-19 pandemic. There is clearly a new structure to create and new systems to learn for the future of these practices.

Instead of teaching regular adult classes + retreats, since early 2020 I have been: parenting/running my household, teaching yoga/mindfulness to kids at an independent school, coaching youth basketball and other sports, sharing some online practices through YouTube and sometimes Zoom, sometimes offering 1-1 Lunar Love Flow sessions, sometimes sharing seasonal rituals, and also staying in touch via Instagram. I do not know what the future holds, like so many of us…but I am staying with it all and open to what is next.

~Some other things:

- Mindful Travel: Much of my personal growth has come from having opportunities starting in my 20’s to begin to travel and experience other places beyond my own scope of life. So, occasional mindful travel retreat trips that make space for introspection, growth and a shift in perspective have been some of my favorite things I have had the honor to experience and share in my career so far. It always amazes me what is possible when we step out of our daily comfort zones and get to experience perspectives from a different part of nature and culture.

When the time comes to get to travel again, perhaps we can continue to find ways to share such trips in more thoughtful, sustainable ways. Maybe in a few years when it feels right…

Iceland has been the place (outside of the U.S.) I have traveled to the most, and it is a land that means so much to me. It is where I first felt reciprocal love from the Earth back to me, which was a profound experience that further shifted how I experienced nature. The other places I have loved to share with others are: Nantucket, Sicily, and the Azores. I feel a deep reverence and connection to these islands that bring all of the elements into a clearer view.

~Lunar Love Flow (my book and practice) :

~Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the warehouse that housed my book (Lunar Love Flow) had to close, and so you can no longer order the book through Blurb.com. That said, I still have many copies and can organize sending you a copy if you are interested. And/or you can still find some copies at Noel Herbals. The books are $26. It includes all gorgeous photos from Iceland by Liza Voll (just like this website), and lunar prompts+astrology for your movement/yoga practice to cycle with. Each astrological sign is shared in order, which helps in learning how to cycle each month. Each sign also features nature photos and symbols, plus both waxing (yang) and waning (yin) yoga practice suggestions to suggest ways to embody the elements and energy. My hope is that the book might inspire ways to make your connection to the seasons and cycles of life more personal for you, and to notice your own life cycles in the midst of it all.

*Thank you so much for being interested in my journey and what I love to share through this work. I hope to meet you and experience a part of this life together at some point.
