Jenna Sammartino, RYT-500 and certified SATYA teacher, is a yoga teacher, wordsmith, and garden nurturer who has called Cape Cod home for over 20 years.
With her contemplative approach, Jenna weaves awareness of body, breath, and mind into her teachings. In the soft flow of her classes students are encouraged to listen to their bodies, using the asanas to illuminate a deeper understanding of one’s physical and subtle body. The end goal of practice is not the cultivation of an externally perfected pose, but rather the internal development of attention, awareness, and insight.
Jenna has been teaching since 2007 and an avid student for two decades. Guided by teachers who blend the practice of yoga with Buddhist philosophy and meditation, today she studies with master teachers Tias and Surya Little of Prajna Yoga and she studies Dharma, yoga, and meditation with Djuna Devereaux, teacher at Spirit Rock. With Prajna, Jenna has completed an advanced 300-hour training and the SATYA (Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga) certification. She has completed teacher training programs with Sarah Powers of Insight Yoga and Don and Amba Stapleton of Nosara Yoga Institute, as well as hundreds of hours of workshops and immersions in support of her practice.
