Jordyn is a Nehîyaw/Cree and Métis woman from northern Saskatchewan in Canada. Jordyn has been practicing yoga for over 15 years and an instructor for just over 2 years. She has learned so much through her teachers, Kate Herrera at Native Strength Revolution and Ryan Leier at One Yoga Lions. As a young person, yoga was a means of therapeutic relief for both body and mind. In the community Jordyn grew up, healing modalities were few and far between, yoga was a way through struggle and honouring the gifts our body and mind provides.
Over the years, Jordyn became more interested in supporting Indigenous people through healing and studied Psychology in university and helped to co-found a non-profit to support Indigenous youth in athletics, SaskATF. As her careers and interests shifted over time, Jordyn has returned to her home community where she lives in an off-grid cabin with her dog, Otis.
