Jennifer Pastiloff

Jennifer Pastiloff, Beauty Hunter, is a writer and yoga teacher living with her husband in Los Angeles and soon to be son, when she’s not on an airplane. She travels the world with her Manifestation Retreats/Workshops On Being Human- a hybrid of yoga, writing, sharing out loud, and occasionally a dance party, as well as a workshop for young women called "Girl Power: You Are Enough." It's an experience that has been described as NOT "woo-woo,", heart-mending and sometimes messy- just like life. You do not have to be a good yogi, or writer. Just a human being with a body. Jen has been featured on Good Morning America, New York Magazine, CBS News and more for her unique style of teaching. She studied poetry and writing at NYU and Bucknell University and is currently finishing her first book and is represented by Adriann Ranta at Foundry Media. She tweets/instagrams at @jenpastiloff.

People Magazine says: Jennifer is changing women's lives through her empowerment workshops. Cheryl Strayed says: Jennifer Pastiloff is a conduit of awakenings. Lidia Yuknavitch says: Dear Jen, From you I have learned to alchemize fear with love, to redistribute love through compassion, to enter a room with others. Jen leads her signature Manifestation Workshop: On Being Human all over the world & online. Her memoir will be published by Dutton Books in 2019. Preorders available now at JenniferPastiloff.com Her workshops are a unique blend of writing and some yoga. She has developed a massive following based on her writing & workshops. A London workshop attendee says, "A space to show up and be human. A fusion of yoga and singing and writing and sharing, with laughter and tears mixed in! To be held and encouraged so beautifully by Jen, who won't flinch....but stay connected to us all through the journey. She creates a strong container, sits on the edges of our yoga mats listening to the stories that weave us together as human beings. She gives us the gift of attention, space and time. It's a space for connecting, for intimacy...you leave in a different place from where you arrive...It's a chance to show up, to own our fears and our dreams, our deep yearnings and the things we'd love to manifest in our lives. A chance to be wholeheartedly present and come back home a little more to ourselves." Jen also leads retreats with Emily Rapp & Lidia Yuknavitch. She is also the guest speaker at Canyon Ranch three times a year. All info is at the top under Retreats/Workshops.

4 hours ago by jenpastiloff How do you know when you’ve grown? Isn’t it just like the most amazing feeling, like getting lost in a bookstore, like the smell of coffee while you’re lying in bed, like finding 20 bucks in your pocket, like binge watching your fave Netflix show? Yesterday I had a moment where I thought: I’ve truly grown. Someone said: Jen, you look skinny. Before you were so.... big.” Me: laughing, “big?” Her: You look good now. You were very big before. Me: I wasn’t big. Me: Do you know what anorexia is? I almost died from it. I stay away from
2 days ago by jenpastiloff I look so much like my daddy’s side of the family. obvi where i get my height. Just found out my grandpa Jacob changed our last name when he came from Russia. It used to be Petestoff. Sounds so close to “pissed off” so I’m glad I grew up with my the mouthful Pastiloff instead. Pastiloff forever! Married 9 years and I’ll forever be a P. I never got to meet my Grandpop Jacob (jack he was called but his real name was Judko.) but he gave me and my dad rad eyebrows. My Bubbe- I miss her every day.
1 day ago by jenpastiloff When life gives you lemons..... Mornings in bed. I don’t sleep with my hearing aids in & I can’t hear without them these days. Charlie wakes me. I don’t know what he’s saying. Mommy doesn’t have her hearing aids in, I say. He pulls on me. Tries to communicate in other ways. The hearing aids are on the bedside table & I don’t feel like moving yet to put them in. But I have no idea what little man is saying. My husband is away but when he’s here I ask him. Rob, what’s he saying? Underwater muffled speak, socks
12 hours ago by jenpastiloff NO BIG DEAL BUT 2x Olympiad & 3 TIMES GOLD MEDALIST @tianna .bartoletta came to my Tampa workshop at @bellapranayoga Last week. I love her. @tianna .bartoletta just wrote this: “I was in Tampa for divorce court, and no matter how things fall it never feels good to have to sit in hearings. For this reason I decided that I would schedule yoga classes for after each hearing. It was at the studio that I had chosen (simply because of it's proximity to my attorney's office). Bella Prana was advertising a workshop called "On Being Human" and I remember thinking to myself
