Jennifer Hansen

Founder/co-owner and certified yoga instructor of Metta Yoga in Neptune NJ. In 2015, Jen started Mettamade Pop-Up Yoga Events which recently changed to Metta Yoga. The idea was born when she felt the need to spread more kindness in the world and have a hellagood time doing yoga. After a couple of years hosting fun pop-up yoga events in many unique spaces all over New Jersey, she decided it was time to bring her dream of opening a yoga studio to reality. In 2018, she and her husband Ross created Metta Yoga. As experienced home renovators, they love designing inspiring spaces and understand the importance of making a space feel like home. Together, they wanted to combine their passion for design + wellness and create a beautiful space for the yoga community to enjoy. In addition to owning a yoga studio, Jennifer is a certified Kripalu Yoga in Schools instructor and is the first yoga teacher in New Jersey to create a curriculum in the New Jersey School districts for yoga as a physical education elective at a Monmouth County high school. Jen enjoys instilling yoga and mindfulness into our youth and hopes that this can spread throughout more schools in the State. You can find Jen leading classes on her mat at her pop-up yoga events all over NJ, her studio in Neptune NJ, or at the high school she teaches at in Monmouth County
