Jolene’s classes guide all levels of students to find flexibility, strength, balance, and breath. Practicing Yoga on the mat is a way to identify how we live life off the mat. When you practice Yoga and the postures become difficult then you can recognize what happens to the active mind, the stressed/relaxed body, and the breath. Everyone has days that can throw them off balance. Yoga is a tool to help ground us, motivate us, or even remind us to laugh a little.
As a combat veteran, adventurer, lifetime student Jolene learned to use yoga as a tool in her life to slow down and settle the mind. A huge part of her life consisted of a military deployment to Iraq in 2004 in support of OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom). A yoga practice that started in her teens then became more relevant.
Operation Iraqi Freedom soon transformed into her yoga business, Barefoot Freedom Yoga.
Jolene also holds a bachelor’s degree in Forestry-Outdoor Recreation and Environmental studies from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. She has had experiences to work with wildlife, forestry timber sale preparation, wildfire mitigation, and so much more in Oregon and Colorado.

Any deployment is a hard deployment, so my heart will always go out to all soldiers who served in the military while doing any job. My heart especially goes out to these 5 soldiers who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice.
