Jennefer Shields

My name is Jenny Shields.  I am married and have an 8 year old son named Leo.  I work full-time at a Utility company managing a technology team.  I shifted to working from home full-time during COVID, which has been great for me.  As much as possible I love to be outdoors hiking and foraging.  I love all types of fitness - running, strength training, cycling, and of course Yoga.  I had a goal to run a half-marathon in every state.  I've made it through about half of them but slowed down a bit once my son entered the picture.  

I have been at my current company for more than 20 years in a leadership role.  I attended yoga teacher training in 2004 along with my Mom and sister.  We opened a studio in our home town that operated from 2005-2019.  My Mom was retired so she managed the studio and we all taught classes.  We closed right before COVID hit - the studio was doing fine but we were struggling to find the time for it.  I do miss teaching though and discovered Fitness Pro Travel while vacationing at a resort in Mexico.  I met two instructors - one yoga and another pickleball.  They both had great things to say about their experiences travelling and teaching.  This seems like a great way to get back to doing something I love, without a full time commitment.
