Jennifer Shapiro, or Jenny, finished her 200-hour ashtanga teacher training in 2019 at the Yoga Shala of San Antonio (YSSA) and became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with Yoga Alliance shortly after. She then took up continuing education to become a children’s yoga teacher beginning in April 2020, just as the Covid pandemic had started. She went on to finish her 95-hour children’s teacher training with ChildLight Education Company and subsequently obtained her Yoga Alliance designation as a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT) in March 2021.

At the height of the pandemic in June 2020, Jenny obtained her DBA and started teaching children through her virtual yoga studio, Glow Little Lotus Yoga (GLLY). GLLY has an active profile in social media and continues to grow its following. She teaches children of all ages, from babies to teens, including children with diverse abilities. Jenny enjoys the interaction with children as well as writing lesson plans that engage them with different themes, music, creative movement, as well as mindfulness and breathing activities. With the introduction and practice of yoga and mindfulness at an early age, Jenny envisions children to grow healthy inside and out - active, happy, strong and kind young human beings.

Jenny is currently learning the intermediate series of ashtanga yoga from her teacher in San Antonio, Ana Hollis. She recently finished an Intensive Training in Ashtanga Yoga for 300 HRS in May 2025.  Her solid foundation continues on in the mat. All the learning and the progress of her own practice give her insights towards her overall well-being, as well as inspiration in her teaching. Jenny teaches privately and at the YSSA studio, both to adults and young children and tweens and teens.

Jenny started out professionally as an Industrial Engineer and has a Master’s degree in Business Administration. She is learning the Spanish language and still dreams to be fluent one day!
