About Us

Cheryl Hutmacher

Cheryl's love of yoga asana began over fifteen years ago when she learned that even more than making her feel great, regular yoga practice significantly improved her life off of her mat. She had less anxiety and more patience. She was less reactive and more present in her interactions with those she loved. It wasn't long before she wanted to share this with others. In 2009, she received her 200-hour RYT through Breath and Body Yoga in Austin, TX. She is grateful to have had the opportunity to train with many knowledgeable and talented teachers from whom she continues to learn about anatomy, biomechanics, yoga philosophy, breathwork, and so much more. She is fascinated by the human body and loves that there will always be more to learn about it. Currently in the process of completing her 500 hr RYT with Yoga Medicine, she is looking forward to becoming a certified Therapeutic Yoga Specialist.

Inspired by our collective need for connection and community, she opened Juicy Power Yoga in 2018. She is abundantly grateful for the teachers and students who show up and make Juicy a safe and welcoming space for others to connect with each other and their breath and move their bodies. Cheryl encourages her students to be in co-creation on their mats. She is passionate about helping students tweak the practice to fit their individual needs and unique anatomy and to learn to trust in the inherent wisdom of their bodies. Some of Cheryl's favorite things are: the sky, trees, a good story (on the page, screen, or put to music), and being with her family. Some of her least favorite things are: lack of empathy towards others, the word "slacks" (it's just yuck) and writing about herself in the third person.

Jeni Tracy

It was through the practice of yoga that Jeni discovered how strong she was. That realization, and the myriad of other things she has learned about herself through her yoga practice, created a desire in her to help others discover their strength. Jeni began teaching in 2011 after completing her training with Baptiste Yoga. She has completed several Baptiste programs, including Levels 1/2 and the Art of Assisting, and is a Certified Baptiste Yoga Instructor. In addition to guiding adults on their mats, she has a certificate in teaching children’s yoga through Seattle Kids Yoga. In 2015, Lululemon asked her to join their team of Ambassadors. This cherished experience enabled her to expand her reach and share the practice she loves across a broader range of her community. Jeni has been with Juicy Power Yoga since before it opened its doors. She is the studio manager and an integral part of its success. She has worked hard to help ensure that people feel seen and welcomed when they walk through the door. Her classes are challenging and infused with wit. She is a supportive and encouraging instructor who finds joy in connecting with her students and witnessing their growth on and off their mats. Off of her mat, she is the mother of two incredible children and the most amazing puppy.
