Jennifer Brewer

Jennifer is an E-RYT 500 based out of Hilton Head, SC. She received her 200-hr from Asheville Community Yoga and 500-hr from Subtle Yoga with a focus on yoga therapeutics. Jennifer teaches full-time to both group classes and private clients. She leads the yoga program for all Spinnaker Resorts on Hilton Head Island. Her class offerings vary from accessible chair yoga to powerful vinyasa – and everything in between. While she loves the creativity of movement, she strongly believes that asana is only one part of the system of yoga – and it takes the whole system to find connection, build awareness, and master this human existence.  

Known for her sense of humor and ability to make yoga attainable & practical. She often brings inspiration from seasonal energy. Jennifer started her yoga journey to cope with her own depression and anger. This will be her tenth retreat with True Nature Travels.

When not doing yoga, you will find her nose in a book, trying a new recipe, or her feet in the sand with her handsome flat-coat retriever, Roux.

With cool Atlantic waters and an eastern mountain border blocking out hot, dry winds from the north, growing conditions for fresh, flavorful fruits, vegetables, and herbs are excellent.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often, for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with Trawick International (available for U.S. Residents only). Read more about their policies here. We encourage you to research the insurance company and policy that best meets your needs.
