Meet the team
Jen Boulanger
Founder & instructorJen is an American who traded Amsterdam for Todi in 2020 — drawn to Umbria's pace and hungry for real, in-person connection after a year of online everything. With over 20 years of practice and a deep love for Vinyasa and Yin, she founded Elementyl Yoga to build exactly the kind of community she was looking for.
Her classes blend creative, thematic flows with pranayama, intention-setting, and moody electronic music — designed to sync breath, movement, and presence for all levels. Taught in English, her style is clear, heartfelt, and refreshingly human. She eats meat, drinks wine, and stays competitive — because yoga isn't about perfection. It's about balance, a calmer mind, and a stronger body.
Nicole Berzel
Massage therapist & instructorNicole is a German bodyworker and yoga teacher who fell in love with Todi during a trip in 2022 — and never really left. Nature-led and deeply intuitive, she draws inspiration from long walks with her dog Pino, outdoor adventures, and the quiet rhythms of Umbrian life.
She brings over 15 years of holistic practice to Elementyl, offering Thai Yoga Massage and Hatha Flow Yoga. Her bodywork reads energy to support gentle physical and emotional healing, while her yoga classes move meditatively — weaving breath, soft transitions, pranayama, deep relaxation, singing bowls, and mantra into a grounding, centering experience. Classes are taught in a blend of German, Italian, and English, and her guidance is always clear, mindful, and warmly human.
Join Nicole to unwind, flow, and heal.
