Since then, I’ve hosted 17 international retreats to the Yucatan, the Galapagos in Ecuador, Northern Spain, Italy and Bordeaux, France in addition to 25 Pacific Northwest retreats.

In 2011, Suzy, Karen and I launched our 200 and 300 hr yoga teacher training programs. Two years later we created Work Well NW, a corporate yoga company, which was a perfect avenue for our teacher training graduates to be able to teach in corporate wellness classes.

In January 2020, I sold my third of the 3 companies I had helped to create to Suzy and Karen so that I could focus on what I love most: yoga and travel. I’m grateful to them for continuing the programs we started for our extended Three Trees community.

Welcome to Jeni’s Global Yoga Trips!   I invite you to join us for one of our next adventures.

Yoga stretches your body; travel stretches your mind!  Let’s go!

Rocky is Jeni’s husband of more than 3 decades, a natural philosopher and #1 retreat Sherpa. In January 2021, he retired from his job as VP of Retail and Marketing for NW Framing in Seattle, WA. Retirement allowed Rocky and Jeni to realize a three-year dream and move to Gijon on the Bay of Biscay in Northern Spain. Now Rocky spends his days honing his photography skills, creating fabulous meals, learning Spanish and discovering the best of Asturias.

Dana Keegan has practiced yoga for over 20 years and has been teaching for the last 10 years. She received her 200 RYT from Konalani Yoga Ashram in Kona, Hawaii and her Y12SR (Yoga and 12 Step Recovery) certification in 2012. She completed the 500 RYT through Three Trees Yoga in Federal Way, WA in 2020. She has been active in the recovery community for 26 years, and her passion is teaching yoga to those who have been affected by addictions of any kind. She is a firm believer that Yoga is for everyBODY, and infuses her teachings with connections to the spirit, mind and breath.

She is a Level I/II Reiki practitioner, a Level I Thai Yoga Massage practitioner, and has hosted annual international Yoga and Recovery Retreats in Costa Rica and Bali, Indonesia since 2016. Check out her website at www.danakeegan3.com to see what else she’s up to.

Sandi is a Yoga Alliance ERYT-500 teacher who also teaches anatomy for yoga teachers. Sandi has been drawn to the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of movement since she was a kid. Consequently, she studied sports medicine and then became an Occupational Therapist. In 2014, she simultaneously earned a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training Certification from Three Trees Yoga and a Thai Yoga Massage Certification. These trainings added an even deeper level of understanding of the healing benefits of movement, and of yoga, in particular. This was still further enhanced through training as a Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage Reiki practitioner.

Sandi enjoys being in nature, hanging out with her family including her pups, and the sense of community that comes from connecting with students. She offers accessible classes that combine her passion for yoga with her knowledge and training in movement sciences, Thai Massage, and Reiki. She develops classes that are alignment focused with a balance of compassion, gentleness, and challenge – and, always with a sprinkling of humor.

Rob and Melissa are Kirtan singers and yoga teachers devoted to sharing their love of kirtan and Bhakti Yoga wherever they go. The husband and wife duo is based in the Pacific Northwest, but they lead kirtans, workshops, and retreats all over the world. 

Whether you’re new to kirtan or a life long devotee, Rob and Melissa create a fun, accessible and sacred space…the perfect setting for a joy-filled celebration of the divine! 

Melissa has been teaching asana since 2012, initially receiving her yoga teacher training from 8 Limbs Yoga Centers in Seattle, WA. In 2015,  she completed the Bhakti Yoga teacher training program at Bhakti Yoga Shala in Santa Monica, CA. A few years later, she aspired to dedicate her days to sadhana; to find structure, consistency and a renewed dedication to her practice. In 2018, she received an additional 200hr RYT Akhanda Yoga certification through a month-long immersion at Yogrishi Vishvketu’s Ashram in Rishikesh, India. Her teaching style, heavily influenced by her experience as a dancer and Bhakti Yoga, is a unique blend of her trainings and her personal practice. It is playful, down-to-earth, uplifting and devotional.

Those of you who attended our Bordeaux Retreat in 2021 or our Italy Retreat in 2023 know Clara Pelica. She and I met at the retreat Chateau in Bordeaux and instantly felt a bond. She co-taught with me in Pulgia, Italy and was a wonderful addition!

An intricately woven path  between Buddhist, Yogic and Thai Massage studies has led Clara on an in depth journey of self discovery, awareness and healing over the course of 20 plus years.

Teaching since 2012, Clara brings a light heartedness approach to her teachinghighlighting breath awareness, mindful movement and restorative practices. She has trained in Yin Yoga with Sarah Powers and Bernie Clark and is a Level 1 Rest and Renew Restorative yoga teacher by Judith Lasater. Her most recent meditation training has been the 2 year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Certification with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.

Clara loves to travel and explore different landscapes, cuisines and cultures and spends as much time as possible in Thailand and India with her teachers. She’s always happy to talk travel!! A foodie at heart, when not teaching, you can find Clara working as a private chef with a focus on nutrition and plant based cooking.
