As the owner of Inlet Yoga, I would like to personally welcome you to the mat.  I created Inlet Yoga as a space where every BODY is welcome to breathe and move.

My journey to the mat started over 25 years ago while training for my first biathlon. I knew right then and there that this was something amazing and it would change my life. In yoga there are no expectations, no comparisons, no judgments and everyone is welcomed no matter what their physical background or age. 

As a certified Yoga Therapist, I’m trained to work one-on-one or in groups with clients that might feel challenged in a typical yoga class.  As an Ayurveda Practitioner, one of my greatest joys is helping others create healthy lifestyles that facilitate their happiest healthy and an unbounded sense of radical well-being.

The Yoga lifestyle begins with a dedication to building a practice on and off the mat as taught by the eight limb path. With these tools in place the transformations begin. When someone overcomes a fear, when someone realizes the endless capacity within themselves to be the change, when some has a moment of clarity even for just a moment…then I feel I am doing my work to the best of my capacity.

I am grateful for each and every student who has blessed me with the opportunity to learn from them and to do what I love and who has helped me along my path.

I was first introduced to Yoga around 20 years ago when it was being offered at an athletic club. Having spent many years in law enforcement dealing with highly stressful, anxiety-driven situations, I turned to yoga to help alleviate stress and anxiety by practicing Asana and Meditation. After feeling the amazing and positive life changing effects physically, mentally, and spiritually from a regular practice, I knew I wanted to share this feeling of relief with others by obtaining my teaching certification.

Along my teaching journey I have discovered a passion to share the importance of self-care through the practices of Restorative and Nidra. Both being such amazing practices along the journey of slowing the mind while healing the physical body at a cellular level.

After leaving a stressful career in 2020 during the height of the pandemic I went in search of something to help me make sense of an ever-changing world and bring some calm into my life. In yoga I found a community of positive, supportive, likeminded people as well as the ability to pause and breathe. I knew I wanted to share everything I had gained from having a regular yoga practice so I embarked on a journey of learning and self-discovery that will never end. My teaching combines fundamentals of yoga poses, breath, tradition and self-expression to help everyone find their strong, empowered person inside and out.

Like many people, Jen Meehan came to yoga seeking relief from years of chronic low back pain. She began studying Iyengar yoga in 2008 and was drawn to its attention to alignment and use of props to make poses accessible to all students, regardless of age, body type and physical condition. In 2016, she began her mentorship with Jessica Becker, a Senior Level Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher in upstate NY.

After 6 years of intense study, practice and teaching, Jen completed her Iyengar Level 1 assessment in September 2022. She is now the only Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (CIYT) currently teaching in the coastal Carolinas.

As a psychotherapist with over 30 years experience, I thought I was well acquainted with the mind-body-spirit connection-until the day I attended my first Yoga class! Ever since that day, I’ve been on a deep dive into the methods of encountering and strengthening the more subtle levels of healing potential for the mind-body-spirit through the use of Yoga and QiGong.

The rewards have been incredible, from keeping my Fibromyalgia in remission, to maintaining my emotional balance when the “winds” of change blow (and they always do!). A big thank you to Inlet Yoga Studio for its beautiful, supportive space that allows teachers and students to share the many gifts of the Practice.

I am a hairstylist during the day and after 25 years of standing with my arms in the air my body and mind needed some kind of alignment . . . Yoga was the answer!

I found yoga eight years ago. Yoga was the healthy balance I was craving in my life. I am excited to share my love for yoga and hope to inspire others.

My first yoga experience was in California, during a rehearsal for a musical. Amazed by the immediate and profound effects of simply linking breath to movement, I began practicing regularly at an Ashtanga-based studio in San Francisco. I became interested in teaching and completed two basic teacher trainings; first with It’s Yoga and second with Clayton Horton of Greenpath Yoga. I taught yoga in the San Francisco Bay Area for the next 14 years, to all ages and levels, and in various environments including yoga studios, health clubs and gyms, classrooms, public parks, beaches, and private homes. In 2014 I completed an advanced 300-hour teacher training with Raji Thron of Yoga Synthesis in Ramsey, NJ.

In my yoga practice as well as in my teaching, I continue to discover deeper layers of connection to inner and outer experience. I enjoy sharing my passion for natural and holistic wellness, and my appreciation for the guiding principles of yoga, such as non-violence, truthfulness, self-study and surrender, and their applications both on and off the mat. IN my classes you will find humor sprinkled throughout my classes and always encouragement to students to listen to their inner teacher.

I believe it was May of 2017 when I first entered Inlet Yoga. I came in searching for a way to relieve the stress I was under due to life. I had participated in classes before by using workout videos mostly. I can say now that I wasn’t exactly “getting it”. I realized shortly after that I had found a community extraordinary people. Everyone is so uniquely different and like minded at the same time.

I also found myself, the person outside of begin a mother, an employee etc. This made me want to share the wonderful “workings” of yoga with everyone I know and meet! In June 2019 I completed my 200 Hour Teacher Training. It is my goal to continue to follow my path and share what I learned on and off the mat. I believe there is something for everyone in this beautiful practice.
