Meet Jen: Founder of Elementyl Yoga – Vinyasa, Yin, Yin Yang, Hatha & Restorative
Hi, I’m Jen, an American who moved to Europe in 2014. With a professional background in HR and over 20 years of yoga practice, I became a teacher to share the profound shifts it brought to my body, health, and spirit.
Gym classes introduced me to yoga, but a real studio ignited my love—revealing its depth through Vinyasa flows. Over time, I explored Bikram and Astanga, but Vinyasa and Yin remain my favorites.
In 2020, amid the pandemic, I left Amsterdam for Todi, Umbria's green heart. Online practice couldn't replace in-person connection, so I founded Elementyl Yoga in Todi centro—to nurture a dedicated community.
My classes open with intention-setting and pranayama, unfolding into creative, thematic flows built around a guiding concept. I weave in moody house and electronic music to deepen immersion, syncing breath and movement for profound presence. This elevates Vinyasa dynamics, Yin's surrender, and Hatha's discipline—calming the mind, strengthening the body, and awakening true wellness for all levels.
I'm no ascetic yogi—I enjoy meat and wine, navigate weight challenges, and temper a competitive spirit. Yoga integrates these human realities, revealing it's not about contortions, veganism, or extremes, but sustainable harmony: balancing life's struggles through a calmer mind and stronger body.
Taught in English (sometimes with Italian cues), my guidance is clear, mindful, and heartfelt. The focus is authentic practice where connection goes beyond words. Join me at Elementyl to deepen your practice and embrace wellness.

Meet Nicole: Thai Yoga Massage & Hatha Flow Yoga in Todi
Hi, I'm Nicole, originally from Germany, where I ran my own studio offering massage, yoga, workshops, and holistic practices that nurtured body, mind, and spirit. Nature is my greatest inspiration—I cherish long walks with my dog Pino, outdoor adventures, and travels that reveal life's hidden wonders.
In 2022, a trip to enchanting Ripaioli sparked our move to Todi, Umbria's green heart. Here, I discovered Elementyl Yoga, immersing myself in its transformative classes and welcoming community as a devoted student for the past year.
I'm thrilled to share Thai Yoga Massage and Hatha Flow Yoga at Elementyl Studio.
Thai Yoga Massage draws on my intuitive bodywork since 2008, reading energy for gentle physical and emotional healing.
Hatha Flow Yoga (taught in German) is an invitation to harmonize movement and breath. Gentle Sun Salutation variations create a calming rhythm, awakening the body and centering the mind. Soft, mindful transitions lead into Hatha asanas that cultivate stability, clarity, and inner alignment. Guided by breath, the practice unfolds meditatively—deepened by pranayama, deep relaxation, silent meditation, resonant singing bowls, and mantra chanting to soothe the nervous system and foster connection, calm, and presence.
A German yoga teacher living in Umbria with over 10 years of experience, I blend German, Italian, and English. My language may not be perfect, but my guidance is clear, mindful, and heartfelt—creating an authentic, accessible practice where connection goes beyond words.
Join me to unwind, flow, and heal.
