Jen Irwin is the founder and owner of Dew Yoga Studio. She received her teaching certification from Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. She embraces the Kripalu tradition of flowing gently with the rhythms of life while facing challenges or challenging personal limits from a strong core - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Her teachings are influenced by many years of practice in Ashtanga, Anusara, Kripalu, and Jivamukti. She brings her students a blend of breath, movement, and meditation - supporting others as they gently flow through their own waves of life.
Jennifer Buchholz is the President of AWE Enterprise. She is a Kripalu certified yoga instructor, an ordained inter-spiritual minister and also has 20 years of human development experience in corporations. Using techniques from this broad background, she creates transformational experiences for individuals and groups to move toward wholeness and authentic self. Her passion is to help people discover their greatest potential for living an optimal life.
