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.
