Jen Pastiloff

Jen Pastiloff travels the world with her unique workshop “On Being Human,” a hybrid of yoga, writing, sharing out loud, letting the snot fly, and the occasional dance party. Learning from Jen is an experience that has been described as unpredictable, heart-mending and sometimes messy-—just like life.

Jen has been featured on Good Morning America, New York Magazine, CBS News and more for her unique, infectious, raw, and fun-loving style of teaching which has inspired and changed lives around the globe.

Jen is also the founder of the online magazine The Manifest-Station and leads Writing and The Body workshops with author Lidia Yuknavitch. She leads annual retreats to Italy and France, and is the guest speaker at Canyon Ranch and Miraval Resorts a couple times each year.

Not only does Jen lead these incredible events, she also is a huge advocate for diversity and inclusivity, and she actively engages with her community to give back to those less fortunate and privileged. Her motto to live by is "Don’t Be An Asshole," and when she is not traveling and teaching, she is based in Los Angeles with her husband, son, and a cup of coffee.

"At the end of my life when I ask one final 'what have I done?' let my answer be; I have done love." - Jen Pastiloff

Her inspiring memoir, On Being Human was released in 2019. Patton Oswalt says, “This book is a beacon of hope from someone who’s been VERY far away from that beacon but managed to find her way back.”
