Welcome! My name is Jenni Burke and I am the founder of "The Gentle Way of Hatha." I am a certified yoga instructor who specializes in gentle yoga classes, and for over twenty years! I believe classes have been such a success because they focus on stress relief and relaxation (and who doesn't need that?).… Continue reading PITCH | The Gentle Way of Hatha

Why I don’t believe in competition
When I first started teaching yoga 20+ years ago, I was teaching up to 10 classes a week, each with their own theme, in an attempt to "please" every possible client. The problem was, my passion was for gentle stretching. I loved stillness, silence, and meditation. None-the-less I continued with a variety of things, ultimately… Continue reading Why I don’t believe in competition
The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring
Yoga Classes, In Person and Online Spring is always a strange time for yoga classes. Many people travel, or go away, and it has resulted in a lot of "partial" registrations. So, although the in-person classes are technically full, I often have drop-in spaces available on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm ($20 per class). Online Yoga… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring
The Gentle Way of Hatha | Winter
It is hard to believe a New Year is upon us... This is my favourite time of year, between winter solstice and spring equinox. The magic of the winter season seems to surge through me; this is my most creative time artistically, and a time when I especially enjoy teaching gentle yoga classes because the… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Winter

The Gentle Way of Hatha | Summer
Today I did something I've avoided for a very long time... I started an Instagram profile for The Gentle Way of Hatha. When I first signed up for Instagram, I used it for all the things: yoga, art, mom life, nature... to capture all the things I love. However, I didn't like having "everything" so… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Summer
Chakras, Yoga, Meditation
It has been a LONG time since I've mentioned the chakras, philosophy, or meditation in any of my blogs or even in my classes. Partly because there is so much content and offerings out there these days, and partly because I have been so busy and distracted by other things going on in life that… Continue reading Chakras, Yoga, Meditation
Six Months In
As August approaches, we are almost 6 months into this pandemic. Six. Months. Half a year. Not in my wildest dreams did I see a pandemic coming, nor that it would last so long in this day and age of cleanliness and anti-bacterial everything. I am unsure if there is even end is sight, as… Continue reading Six Months In
An Act of Self-Love
During class recently, it came to me that yoga is such a generous gift we give ourselves: a simple act of self-love. Even if it's just a few minutes a day, or an hour or two a week, it is a place to land. To return to. To return to ourselves. To return to love.… Continue reading An Act of Self-Love

AN EASY WAY TO TRY A FREE YOGA CLASS! How many excuses have you made to not take a yoga class? I have heard them all! Sometimes it's a physical limitation, sometimes it's a time management issue, sometimes it's due to lack of money, sometimes the motivation just isn't there... the list can go on… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha on YouTube
