Jenica Enquist - Front Desk Manager
Jenica has always been interested in health and wellness, as well as keeping fit. Growing up she was strongly involved in gymnastics, and was part of an extra-curricular group in school which specialized in various flips, and air-borne gymnastic stunts. She also spent 5 years as a performing belly dancer, and then moved on to fire dance, specializing in hula hoop which she performed in a group in Kelowna for about a year.
Jenica’s interest in overall body wellness led her to attend massage school in 2006 and immediately following she developed her own massage business while also working in a health food store. She spent the next few years working in both the health food industry as well as in spa management, performing massage services for clients and overseeing spa flow.
Jenica’s first class at BYNW was so challenging, but at the same time so rewarding. Although she was tempted not to come back, she did come for her second class, and found there was a huge improvement, and soon realized it was the best workout she had ever done! One thing Jenica always tells people when trying Bikram Yoga for the first time is that the most important thing is to try at least 3 classes, even if you do not enjoy the first class!
One of the biggest changes she noticed within a short amount of time was how much yoga helped her plantar fasciitis. In the past, her feet would sometimes hurt so much after a day on her feet, that she would be stuck on the couch for the evening, because the pain was so much. Now, after practicing Bikram Yoga for over a year they rarely bother her, and much to her enjoyment she is even able to wear heels again for the first time in years! She particularly enjoys camel pose because she feels so good when she finishes the posture, but always struggles the most with locust pose, it just hurts so much, but she knows it’s because she needs it the most!
Jenica can be found during week days and evenings at the front desk or around the studio making sure everything runs smoothly!
