Living and Embodying Your Truth with Jen DeMarco

Week of December 19, 2026

Welcome to this week-long exploration of yoga at Rancho la Puerta, where we will journey through the rich and complimentary traditions that shape a holistic practice. Drawing inspiration from the precision and alignment of Iyengar Yoga, the dynamic flow and discipline of Ashtanga Yoga, and the timeless wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, this experience is designed to deepen both your physical practice and inner awareness. Throughout the week, we will explore how mindful movement, breath, and philosophy intertwine—inviting balance, clarity, and a greater connection to self. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this immersion offers an opportunity to refine, reflect, and reconnect in a supportive and inspiring environment. 

 

Jen DeMarco has taught yoga since 1990 and has a lifelong dedication to exploring and sharing the depth of yoga practice. For the past 15 years, she has deeply immersed herself in the practice of Iyengar Yoga and is currently working towards her certification in this method, with its emphasis on precision, alignment, and mindful awareness. Prior to this, she practiced and taught Ashtanga Yoga, cultivating a strong foundation in disciplined, flowing movement. Her passion lies in weaving the philosophical teachings of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras into both “on the mat” practice and “off the mat” living—guiding how we move, breathe, and also how we make choices, relate to others, and embody our values in daily life. She is honored to serve as a presenter for this yoga specialty week and looks forward to sharing this integrative approach with you throughout the week.
