About Jolie:
Jolie earned both her BS and MS in Health Promotion and Wellness from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point (proudly a Packers fan for life!). During her graduate studies, she worked with the Becoming An Outdoors Woman (BOW) program and spent years guiding wilderness expeditions, paddling canoes, and backpacking across the U.S. and Canada. Though she’s traded in her backpacking boots for mountain biking, she still enjoys stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and embraces the lake life with activities like houseboating and wakesurfing.
An advocate for both active living and mindful rest, Jolie balances her high-energy pursuits with practices like yoga and meditation. She completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at Yoga Durango in 2015 and recently achieved her 300-hour advanced certification with Albina Rippy in 2024. With over 20 years of yoga experience, Jolie integrates movement and mindfulness into her daily life.
In addition to her passion for movement, Jolie follows a low-sugar, whole-foods-based diet that keeps her feeling fit, agile, and energized. She believes in nourishing the body with real, nutrient-dense foods to support a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Overlooking the Animas River, the Durango Public Library and Botanical Gardens is one of the most popular gathering spots in our community.
