"I have been taking Yin Yoga for the last year. The flexibility I have gained is amazing and wonderful. After each class, I feel refreshed and renewed. "
-JANE STIFTER, YOGA STUDEMT
"I’m so glad I had the opportunity to join a few of your classes this summer at the GL Lodge! The yoga combined with the amazing venue is beyond compare! I love that your classes are so relaxed and I can move at my own pace. Some classes aren’t like that! If you were in Colorado Springs I would attend regularly! "
-BARG LANGLOIS, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny integrates the mind, body and soul concept with her yoga classes. It is pure pleasure to participate in her classes."
-PAM SANELLI, YOGA STUDENT
"Voted 1st Place in the category of "Best Yoga/Pilates/Barre Studio" in Best of Grand in 2022 & 2023 and a finalist in 2024."

"We booked a private group class with Jenny from Grand Lake Yoga for a bachelorette party, and it was absolutely fantastic! Jenny was so warm and welcoming—she greeted each of us personally and made everyone feel at ease. She led us through an awesome yoga flow that was perfect for our group and the vibe of the weekend. She also recommended the most stunning location—Point Park, right on a dock over the water—which made the whole experience even more magical. It was such a peaceful and beautiful setting, and Jenny made it all come together seamlessly. Highly recommend her for any group event or special occasion in Grand Lake!"
-TIM CHEHANSKE, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny's Yin yoga class was transformative! It's been a long time since I've taken such an awesome class, and I've been to many yoga studios."
-LORI PALMER, YOGA STUDENT
"What an awesome experience! Jenny led a beautiful, strong, Gentle Yoga class in a stunning location. She was easy to follow and her sequences were smooth. I look forward to attending future classes."
-KIMBERLY STRATMAN, YOGA STUDENT
"I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the gentle yoga and yin yoga classes given by Jenny Smith at Grand Lake Yoga for the last two summers. Each class is different and always outstanding. Jenny explains the different poses very clearly with a variety of options being provided. My flexibility has gradually increased and I always leave the class feeling relaxed, refreshed, more serene, and looking forward to the day ahead. "
-SIMONE GLYNN, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny is the best yoga instructor I have ever had the honor of working with! She is thoughtful, gentle, kind, and very knowledgable in her field. She spends a lot of time putting classes together, keeping in mind the wide range of ages, abilities, and limitations of all the participants and creating a space that is beneficial for all. I highly recommend her classes!"
-LAURI DENNIS, YOGA STUDENT
"I retired in beautiful Grand Lake two years ago and was excited to explore the various programs and activities available to me to support my active lifestyle. I’m definitely not a yogi and had reservations about taking yoga classes because my past experiences were not enjoyable and usually left me feeling frustrated (movements were too fast and difficult). Enter Jenny … I discovered Jenny a year ago. I decided to give yoga one more chance because I really wanted to do something for myself, and I’m soooo glad I did. Jenny isn’t like any other instructor I’ve ever had. She has an ease about her that immediately makes you feel comfortable and she intuitively guides her classes from beginning-to-end to ensure a positive experience for everyone. Upon entering the room, the lights are dimmed and gentle music is playing in the background. She encourages everyone to start each session with an intention, which helps to center me and shut out the noise in my head. Every session has a dedicated theme and is NOT customized to any specific skill level. Everyone is welcome and is assured a meaningful experience. But what stands out most about Jenny is that she gives clear and constant verbal cues for each movement/pose that allows me to stay present and connected (and not distracted by frantically looking around to model a nearby classmate). Jenny prepares each class with intention to be energizing yet calming, and thanks to her, I’m finally starting to realize the impact that the art of yoga has to positively change the way I live. By the end of Jenny’s class, my mind and my body feel nourished. But mostly, I just feel grateful."
-JUDI DALEKE, YOGA STUDENT
"I am new to yoga and was a little nervous to get started. Jenny was welcoming, encouraging and provides a judgment free class. She is encouraging and always demonstrates alternatives if I am unable to do some of the more difficult poses. The yoga classes have become the favorite part of my week."
-LORI DISTIN, YOGA STUDENT
"This summer with Jenny and Grand Lake Yoga has been awesome. Jenny teaches great classes in both Yin & Gentle Flow. She has great classes that are never the same and focus on different body areas each class. I have benefitted so much from the classes this summer. I feel better, I can tell a difference in my physique and have loved every moment of practicing with the wonderful ladies & gentlemen of Grand Lake. The classes at Grand Lake Lodge are the most amazing experience, we are all so lucky to live in such a wonderful place. Thank you Jenny for a great summer and teaching us so much, it has been my pleasure to practice yoga with you, I will miss each one of you this winter but I will be back next year for some more amazing yoga."
-MELINDA DART, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny's amazing yoga classes and kind heart help renew my body and soul every week! 3 years of her classes and some private sessions have my body the most flexible it has been in years!!"
-DANA JOHNSON, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny is an excellent instructor, who makes you feel welcome no matter what your experience level is. I have been attending regularly for 2 years and I never want to miss a class. Come join us and make great friends with other yogis!!"
-KATHY ALM, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny Smith at Grand Lake Yoga is truly one of the best yoga instructors! Every class is well thought out and choreographed with intention and purpose. No two classes are ever alike. Jenny's verbal guidance throughout the class provides assurance and validation to always listen to your body and give it what it needs; whether that be increasing the intensity of a pose or also being more gentle with oneself. Grand County is truly blessed to have Grand Lake Yoga! "
-ERIN OPSAHL, YOGA STUDENT
"I am so grateful to Jenny for offering multiple types of yoga classes. Though my schedule doesn’t allow for regular attendance, when I do attend, I always walk out of class feeling relaxed and refreshed. I highly recommend Jenny’s classes. Her focus is always on the yogis in her class. She is very aware of her people’s needs and tries to help with any issues or concerns you may have."
-LISA ATENCIO, YOGA STUDENT
"Grand Lake Yoga’s Gentle Yoga offers great stretches and postures that work for experienced yogis as well as beginners. After many of our area’s outdoor sports such as hiking and skiing, the classes offer the perfect counter balance to help restore and stretch my muscles. Jenny Smith’s classes provide variety each week so I never get bored. Her comments during class are helpful and provide alternatives for those with injuries or other limitations. She always starts with a quote or poem that helps focus my mind and sets the stage for the day’s class. I have brought many visitors to class and all have agreed with me that Grand Lake Yoga’s Gentle Yoga is great!"
-JANNA SAMPSON, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny is a terrific yoga instructor and is able to work with students of all levels. I enjoy her classes very much."
-CINDY ZEDI, YOGA STUDENT
"Jenny’s slow flow vinyasa class is wonderful. She gives you many options for each pose and flow and is accommodating to every skill level. She’s always encouraging and positive. Her classes are a great start to the day!"
-CARIE LAFORGE, YOGA STUDENT
"I’ve practiced yoga for nearly 15 years and thoroughly enjoy Jenny’s classes when I’m able to attend in Grand Lake. Her calm and kind demeanor carries into each class and provides the through line for her teachings. Expect: slow flows, long holds, and plenty of cues for new things to try for both beginners and seasoned yogis. Plan to look forward to seeing Jenny around town cause this gal is everywhere!"
-BROOKE WALTERS, YOGA STUDENT
"I've loved attending Jenny's yoga classes this past summer. She's an excellent yoga instructor and is incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging to everyone. She even invites the class out to coffee/brunch after one of the weekly classes which has been fun to attend and nice to meet others in the classes. I highly recommend Jenny's yoga classes!"

Frequently asked questions
Where are the public group classes held?
The location of the class is in title of the class and listed in the description of the class. Most public classes are held at the Grand Lake Center at 301 Marina Drive in Grand Lake.
Do you provide yoga mats and other yoga props?
For classes held at the Grand Lake Center, mat, blocks, blankets, bolsters, and straps are all provided. For classes held at the Grand Lake Lodge in the summer, you will need to bring a mat and any other yoga props you would like for your practice. I also provide mats for all private sessions and classes.
What should I wear to my first yoga class?
No need to buy expensive yoga clothes, just wear something comfortable that allows you to move freely. In flow classes, a fitted top may be more practical, as loose shirts can shift during certain postures. Yoga is typically practiced barefoot on a yoga mat for better balance and grip, but you may want to bring cozy socks for the end of class. Additionally, wearing a light layer at the beginning and end of class can help keep you comfortable as your body warms up and cools down.
I don't have any experience with yoga, are there any classes I can attend?
Both Yin Yoga and Gentle Flow Yoga are excellent for beginners! No prior yoga experience is needed for either of these classes.
What is your class cancelation policy?
You must cancel at least 12 hours before class start time to avoid being charged for the class, no-shows will be charged the full class fee.
Who are private sessions for?
Why Choose Private Sessions?
Private yoga or Pilates sessions offer personalized, one-on-one instruction tailored to your unique needs, goals, and abilities. Each session is thoughtfully designed to help you progress safely and effectively, with modifications that suit your body. You'll receive focused attention, allowing you to ask questions, refine your practice, and build confidence both during sessions and in your personal practice. Whether you're working through injuries, looking for customized support, or simply want a more individualized approach, private sessions provide the guidance and encouragement you need.
Is a Private Session Right for You?
Private sessions are ideal for students of all levels, including:
Beginners looking for a strong foundation
Those with specific goals or health considerations
Individuals recovering from injury or managing physical limitations
Experienced practitioners wanting to deepen their practice
Anyone seeking customized attention and motivation
Those with busy schedules who need flexible class times
Private sessions are an investment in your well-being and can be scheduled at your convenience, either in person or virtually. Whether you're new to yoga or Pilates or looking to refine your skills, private instruction offers a personalized path to growth, strength, and balance.
Do you offer virtual classes online?
I offer private and semi-private sessions online as well as in person. I do not offer group classes online at this time.
