Jenny Kaufman

Jenny believes yoga is a deeply personal practice, with benefits that go far beyond the mat. It can mean more open hips and hamstrings, better breathing and lung capacity, healing from injury, a shift toward a healthier lifestyle, spiritual exploration, or simply that yoga glow.

Whether you come to a class, a retreat, or a private session, Jenny starts with you exactly where you are. She aims to create a space where everyone feels welcome and comfortable. With clear instructions and thoughtful cues, she helps each person safely explore the postures, connect to their breath, and leave feeling more open and at ease.

Jenny is passionate not only about the practice of yoga, but about the art of teaching. She takes pride in how she communicates, how she sequences, and how she connects with students. Her classes are designed so that people at different levels can practice together, with each person finding what they need in the moment. Whether you are brand new or have been practicing for years, you will be supported and challenged in a way that feels right for you.

Jenny has been practicing yoga for over 30 years and teaching for more than 25. She completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification at The Chicago Yoga Center, studied Restorative Yoga with Judith Lasater at Om Yoga in New York City, and completed her 500-hour certification at North Shore Yoga, where she also assisted in teaching the 200-hour training.

She has also spent years building yoga programs and community. As Program Manager for Yoga Six in the Midwest, she helped grow the brand and support teachers and students across the region. In 2018, she brought that experience to manage yogaview in Chicago, where she continues to teach in studio/online, lead teacher trainings, and work closely with private clients. 

In addition, Jenny runs an online continuing education platform for yoga teachers called The Yoga You: www.theyogayou.com.  The program is designed for 200-hour certified teachers who want to deepen their knowledge, refine their teaching, and earn continuing education credits through Yoga Alliance.
