Yoga at the Farm

About the Teachers

Jen Jackson, RYT-200

Jen joined the Pumpkin Blossom Farm Family in the summer of 2021 and launched our now popular and beloved yoga classes in the barn. Jen’s class designs are organic, based on the needs and interests of the students in the room, while still preserving a well-rounded and thoughtful all-levels practice.

 

Jen strives to make her classes welcoming, accessible and enjoyable for all and passionately believes the yogic path is for anyone seeking strength, flexibility and balance for the mind, body and spirit.

In addition to her work with us at PBF, Jen leads yoga practices at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Woodstock, VT (Where she is also a Park Ranger!), and at Sharing Yoga and Worthy Mind and Movement in Concord, NH. Jen formerly ran her own yoga school, Trickster Yoga AK, outside Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska.

 

When she’s not on her mat, Jen enjoys outdoor adventures with her husband Troy and her darling dogs Cache, Charli, Papi and Tango. You can find them on the water or on the trail in all seasons; paddle boarding, hiking, or snowshoeing.

Alyssa Dandrea, RYT-200

Alyssa has been an avid supporter of Pumpkin Blossom Farm since its opening season and has attended nearly every yoga class since 2021. After subbing a handful of our evening candlelight classes and with encouragement from her friend and yoga mentor Jen, Alyssa decided to attend yoga teacher training at Sharing Yoga in Concord and became a certified yoga teacher in the spring of 2024.

Over her years of practice, Alyssa has immersed herself in different forms of asana, ranging from restorative and yin to power vinyasa, as well as yoga philosophy, meditation, breathwork. Through her classes, Alyssa hopes to inspire curiosity in her students, to encourage them to invite play and imperfection to their practice, and to honor their unique journey.

This is Alyssa’s second season teaching at Pumpkin Blossom Farm. She also instructs classes at Sharing Yoga and Worthy Mind and Movement in Concord, NH, and offers courses at Bee Here NH, a yurt in Salisbury.

When not teaching or practicing, Alyssa serves as the Community Relations Specialist for the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. In her role, she advocates for and amplifies the voices of victims and survivors of crime. Alyssa has helped facilitate successful donation-based yoga classes and other awareness efforts on behalf of the Coalition here at the farm since 2022.
