Training Facilitator: Jodi Weiner

As the Executive Director of Connection Coalition since 2013, Jodi facilitates CoCo trainings that have been referred to as “awakening”, “brilliant”, "life changing" and more.

Her energetic passion to inspire healing and connection allows her to serve as a teacher to new and upcoming yoga teachers in her community. She has dedicated her career to Trauma Informed practices and recently opened Zen Loft Yoga as a result.

When she is not teaching, she parents, plays, and finds balance in nature and laughter (lots of it!)
