Untapped Power: Insights and Wisdom for Collective Transformation in the Yoga Community
Living a Life of Trust with Jennifer Greenhut Tollin Founder of Zero Negative
Jenn Greenhut Tollin, actress turned singer-songwriter turned yoga teacher in Los Angeles, having 20 years plus teaching in yoga studios and private clients in Los Angeles. After meeting her husband, Larry, she was on a path to have the family she always wanted. A year and a half after marriage, her dreams were shattered by a stage IV triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis. Immediately, instead of wanting children, all she wanted was to stay alive. Her yoga practice and strong belief that "everything happens for a reason" led her to allowing stage IV breast cancer to become an inspiring, uplifting story.
