I AM

Jenelle Kitto, is my name. Modern, yogic living is my game.

Born and raised in Calgary, AB, I am a Canadian girl, inspired by art, music and the great outdoors. My story is familiar. I grew up in the 90’s, a wanderlust seeking teenager who always felt like the black sheep in her family. I discovered yoga and meditation just after high school, caught the travel bug early and escaped, so I could find myself. The first branch of this path lead to holistic nutrition and herbal medicine studies. Vidasana Living was born, just after giving birth to my son in 2004.

Life is cyclical and so is my journey. By 2010, I was at a low point in the valley. At the risk of sounding “cliche”...I found myself again. This time at yoga teacher training, in a Sivananda Ashram, near Madurai City, India. These cycles continue to wax and wane. The science of mind and body fascinate me. Yoga Nidra studies with Tanis Fishman opened up new ways of thinking and exploration of the subconscious mind. Yin Yoga studies with Bernie Clark sparked my interest in fascia, functional movement recognition that “Never is never right and always is always wrong.” Each human body is unique. Studying to teach the Iyengar inspired Great Yoga Wall with Rob Walker has expanded my view on alignment and form. Myofascial Yoga studies with Christine Wushke has given way to a new paradigm of body work and yoga instruction, from a mindful and restorative intention.

Calgary sits in a sweet spot...prairies to the east, mountains to the west and a few lakes and rivers in between. In 2017 the “yogipreneur” in me swelled and my need to escape winter peaked again. I followed that internal compass to Hawaii, where I anchored myself on a boat and attended a Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) Yoga Training with www.paddleintofitness.com. From May-October, my floating yoga studio sets sail at the most amazing lake community called www.liveinharmony.ca. It’s just 20 minutes west of the city and offers and nature inspired setting to float our yoga practice and expand that mind body awareness.
