Over the years Jennifer Langsdale has taken her incredible and it seems endless knowledge and devised a well-rounded, comprehensive teacher training program that is grounded and dedicated to the true roots of yoga. If you want an authentic experience, look no further than this studio and it’s many offerings. Along with a variety of educational opportunities there are also daily classes, workshops, and massages. I feel extremely blessed to have “awakened” my yogic studies here. – Amy B.
I dabbled in Yoga for many years and across many states because we moved frequently with the Army. When we finally settled in Ohio, one of the first things I wanted to do was find a Yoga studio and begin seriously practicing Yoga. I had such a strong desire to learn and was extremely fortunate to take my first class with Jennifer Langsdale. Little did I know that meeting her would not only develop into a nurturing teacher / student relationship but additionally, another long time dream of becoming a Yoga Teacher finally came to fruition when I enrolled in Jennifer’s 300 Hour Teacher Training Program.
Studying with Jennifer has provided me with a solid foundation of Yoga Study and Asana Practice. Her program is structured in a way that every class builds on the last and links solidly to the next. The program is designed to provide a balance between reading, lecture, assignments, and practice which promotes individualized growth and development in the study and practice of Yoga. The school setting is a soft, calm, nurturing environment. The curriculum provides a variety of topics and styles providing exposure to various practice styles and thought which helps the student develop a strong solid foundation. As a teacher, Jen is extremely knowledgeable yet flexible and understanding. She helps and guides each and every student develop their own personal and individualized style of practice and teaching.
She has high expectations of her students and motivates them to push their boundaries. At the same time, she is always open and understanding – ready to lend a helping hand. As one of Jen’s students, I only hope to be as inspiring to others as she has been to me. Preparing to branch out on your own can be a daunting concept but no one ever leaves Jen’s school for good. She is always ready to lend an ear or give advice, she wants her students to succeed. She provides ongoing training and classes to support graduates as they continue to learn and improve their craft. Jen’s passion for what she does is contagious. Sharing her love of Yoga is her unending gift of love, health, and wellness for body, mind and spirit, given freely with no attachment to one and all.

I am so grateful that I was led to this studio to take my 200 hour certification! I love Jenn so much,. Jenn was a phenomenal instructor and her love for yoga really shined through everyday! She made sure to give everyone personal attention and the classes went beyond asana to teach history, philosophy, anatomy and more. I learned how to improve my own practice immensely, while learning how to appropriately instruct others, while having fun! I was also given the chance to teach yoga at this studio once I completed my contact hours, which I am immensely thankful for. – Kara S.
Thanks so much for your support. In reflecting on the experiences of this summer, I am greatly impressed by the quality of instruction, the rigor of the course you have designed, and the wonderful way it has played out with the group (which I am grateful and proud to have been a part of). – Dick
Having the opportunity to study and train to be a vinyasa yoga teacher at Awaken yoga was the experience of a lifetime. My favorite part of training was the fact that I got to learn from Jennifer Langsdale the ultimate vinyasa teacher. Shiva Rea was my vinyasa idol and then I took classes with Jenn. There is no holding back with her…in order to teach you to become a good teacher she breaks down your barriers and gets you to your own essence. Authenticity is a word that is thrown around quite a bit these days but that is what you get with Jenn a true authentic experience…after taking a break from my vinyasa practice for pregnancy and caring for an infant I’m creeping back into my vinyasa…I look forward to getting back to Awaken for a class, a workshop…whatever I can get into. Awaken will always be a place of spiritual growth for me…making me a better yoga teacher. – Stephanie B.
Jennifer, thank you SO much. This was such an amazing experience and I LOVE Inner Wisdom® training!!!! This is exactly the healing method I was looking for in order to put my healing practice together. I really am grateful to you for everything and I’m so glad to have you in my life. You have been an amazing mentor and your words, encouragement and everything you have taught us often comes back to me as I navigate through life and while I figure out fully what I am meant to do for my career. I appreciate you very much – you have taught me a great deal and I will always be grateful for that.
The client I worked with that is fighting cancer has improved greatly physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I want to thank you for putting together such an amazing healing technique that I believe in, and endorse, fully. You, my friend, are one of the pioneers helping to change how we see health and healing and I thank you for these tools to add to my dream of guiding people to reach their potential and to know fully their capacity to heal themselves.
