Jolie

Jolie is the Founder of Pause Fitness and Nutrition in Durango, CO. Jolie earned both her BS and MS in Health Promotion and Wellness from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point (a proud Packers fan for life). During graduate school, she guided wilderness expeditions and spent years paddling canoes and backpacking across the U.S. and Canada. Today, she channels that same love of movement into mountain biking, stand-up paddleboarding, and lake life. A strong advocate for both active living and mindful rest, Jolie balances high-energy pursuits with yoga and meditation. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Yoga Durango in 2015 and earned her 300-hour advanced certification with Albina Rippy in 2024. With over 20 years of yoga experience, she weaves movement and mindfulness into daily life. Beyond movement, Jolie is passionate about nourishing the body through a low-sugar, whole-foods-based approach to eating. She believes real, nutrient-dense foods are foundational to feeling strong, energized, and balanced - supporting a sustainable, healthy lifestyle on and off the mat.
