Studio Owner Jennifer McIntee has years of experience teaching yoga and running a yoga studio. She took her first yoga class in 1998 while recovering from knee surgery. Jennifer has a graduate degree in physical education which she intertwined with yoga by teaching yoga to her classroom students. With teacher training through YogaFit, Jennifer gathered her teaching into one place by launching a brick-and-mortar studio which thrived for 5 years in a downtown space in Southern Appalachia. During that time, Beyond Bending Yoga launched an online space in order to bring the personal feel of a yoga studio to students wherever they are. The studio is now based in beautiful Northwestern Montana.

Jennifer is trained through YogaFit Worldwide with her E-RYT 500. This designation is for teachers who have received 500 hours of training and have then gone on to teach for at least 1000 hours. The following represents areas of specialized training:
