Nurse of Yoga is a heart-centered wellness studio and healing practice rooted in the coastal beauty of Mendocino, California—offering both in-person and online experiences for whole-body healing.
Founded by Jennifer Shepherd, RN, a registered nurse turned therapeutic yoga educator, Nurse of Yoga is a sanctuary for people seeking relief from chronic pain, stress, and nervous system overload. Drawing on years of clinical nursing experience and holistic training, Jennifer blends science and spirit to guide clients toward deeper healing.
At the core of the practice is a belief that healing happens when we listen to the body, regulate the nervous system, and engage in mindful movement that honors individual needs.
