Jordan C. Conner

Founder, Counselor, Art Therapist, and Yoga Teacher RYT-200

  • Like many people during the early days of COVID-19, Jordan found herself longing for connection and grounding. After repeatedly seeing an invitation for a live online training, she enrolled in a 200-hour yoga teacher certification with Yoga Farm Ithaca and, six months later, became a certified vinyasa yoga instructor.

    While Jordan appreciates many styles of yoga, she especially loves teaching slow, intentional vinyasa movement that integrates breath, prayer, and body awareness. Her classes offer a gentle, mindful approach that supports both emotional regulation and spiritual connection, creating space for students to experience calm, clarity, and restoration.

    Through her own practice, Jordan has experienced the deep benefits of combining faith and movement, and she now leads Christ-centered yoga classes that help students connect more fully with their bodies while growing in gratitude, groundedness, and awareness of God’s presence.
