Jennifer Newport

Jennifer first came to yoga seeking relief from the symptoms of asthma. Over time, she explored various styles before discovering the stillness and depth of Yin Yoga—a practice that became a grounding force during her busy executive career. The slow, meditative practice offered the perfect antidote to the pace and pressure of her corporate executive life—allowing her to quiet the mind, soften the body and experience a profound sense of calm. It was while on retreat, she chose to deepen her personal practice through Yin Yoga Teacher Training, later completing Advanced Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Melbourne’s Leonie Lockwood - who trained extensively with Yin pioneers Paul Grilley and Jo Phee. In 2024, Jennifer completed Yoga Nidra training with Barbara Kuendig, acclaimed teacher and author of Yoga Nidra. A daily practitioner, she credits this restful form of meditation with bringing clarity, calm, and intention to her life. In 2022, Jennifer launched her first retreat in Byron Bay, which has since blossomed into an annual tradition, attracting a loyal group of return guests. In 2023 she led a retreat in Sicily, and in 2025 will host two retreats—Sri Lanka (August) and Byron Bay (November). Jennifer teaches with empathy, humour, and a deep respect for rest—creating space for students to soften, breathe and reconnect.
