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.

1 day ago by jenpastiloff The past ten days have been the best of my life. Actually: the last month, because my retreat in France & workshop in London were MAGIC. It was nutty of me to schedule things leading right up to book launch (literally day of) but I did and it was so worth it (except I’m sick now ) ANYWAY/ swipe left for a few snippets from LA, Portland, nyc. Charleston will be a separate post and you can listen to it LIVE on @freecookiespodcast podcast. I’m so grateful to everyone who came out & to my friends who sat with me
24 mins ago by jenpastiloff A little under 2 weeks into this journey of my book launch, I’m posting this photo of me at my launch in Portland. I’m wearing a custom made mermaid bustier made with love by @jesseloopdx , surrounded by so much love & a whiskey. Things I need to remember as my book is making it’s way out there. The 1 & the 100. There will always be the 1 who doesn’t like us (me.) or, who we perceive doesn’t. There will be jealousy, haters, meanies. It’s ok to let your (my) feelings get hurt but just recover quickly. Take 5 minutes

I read her book before cutting my hair and leaving to Australia, where I fucking cried on the shoreline and prayed the ocean would fucking devour me. I sat up on the rocks and read book after book trying to feel better. Honestly, Sam Irby and @meganstielstra are the reasons I didn’t kill myself. They’re the reasons I have a tattoo instead of a razor scar. They changed the trajectory of my life by
