Our teachers are the best in Nashville. They work hard to create unique yoga flows, keep the studio beautiful and welcome each student. They are also amazing individuals that are insanely talented and fun. At NuPower, we want you to feel like you are a part of our Tribe. That is why we are taking the next few weeks to introduce a few of our teachers! This week we are featuring Jourdan Parenteau!

Tell us about yourself!

I’m originally from Panama City, FL & Valdosta, GA, but have lived in the Nashville area for about 17 years now! My husband, Pete and I have two feline children, who are the lights of our lives. Animals are my passion, and I do anything I can to support their wellbeing through being very active in our local animal welfare community.

How long have you been practicing yoga?

I’ve been practicing yoga regularly for about 9 years, and it’s changed my life so much that I wanted to share this practice with others.

What kind of yoga do you teach? What do you like about it?

I teach Power and Flow and hope to soon teach Yin yoga!

What is one thing you wish you could tell your younger, yogi self?

I wish that I could tell my younger, yogi self to practice every single day, to stop each day during work to just breathe, and to just relax and laugh!

Why do you choose to teach at NuPower?

I choose to teach at NuPower Yoga because it’s my home away from home. It’s where I practice, where I learn, where I grow and where I see my friends.

What is your favorite yoga pose and why?

My favorite yoga pose is tree pose because I literally love standing on one leg and do it throughout the day like a flamingo haha!

What is your favorite yoga playlist?

I like a pretty eclectic yoga playlist that combines some indie alternative music with soothing and funky sounds of mantras, nature and tribal sounds.
