Our Story
Full Circle Yoga KC was created from a simple belief: we need a place to land during one of the most transformative seasons of life pregnancy to parenthood.
When founder Jenny Hellman was pregnant with her own children, she searched for a prenatal yoga experience that offered more than movement. She longed for a space that combined strength, mindfulness, education, and genuine connection with other expecting parents. When she couldn’t find exactly what she was looking for, she became certified in prenatal yoga while seven months pregnant with her second child so she could create it for other families.
What began as one mother’s vision has grown into a thriving community serving families across the Kansas City area.
Today, Full Circle Yoga KC is led by Jenny alongside an incredible team of six Kansas City moms, all of whom started as a FCYKC mom! And now, passionate instructors who share a common mission: to support growing families through pregnancy, postpartum, and the beautiful, ever-changing journey of parenthood.
Together, we offer more than yoga classes. We create spaces where friendships are formed, confidence is built, questions are welcomed, and families find the support they didn’t know they needed.
Jenny is a certified Prenatal Yoga and Postpartum Yoga instructor, Doula, and holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work, bringing a unique understanding of both the physical and emotional journey into motherhood. That heart for whole-person support continues to shape every class, workshop, and gathering offered by the Full Circle Yoga KC team.
Our vision has always been bigger than yoga.
We’re here to strengthen growing families, nurture meaningful connection, and help every parent feel supported—from pregnancy through the early years and beyond.
Welcome to the Full Circle Yoga KC community. We’re so glad you’re here
About Jenny
Jenny Hellman is a mother of two amazing children, who have blessed her with lessons of unconditional love, patience, humility, savoring the moments, and a deeper connection with and empathy for other mothers. When she was pregnant with her first child, Jenny struggled to find a class specific to prenatal yoga in Kansas City, one that provided a good balance of personal fitness and mindfulness. She became certified in prenatal yoga when she was seven months pregnant with her second child because she envisioned offering a different kind of prenatal yoga to mothers in Kansas City. Since then FCYKC has grown into a community that supports individuals and families from the fertility journey, through pregnancy and postpartum, and into the parenting years—even as children enter puberty.
Jenny holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work. She is a 200-hour RYT with Yoga Alliance, and Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) with Blooma Yoga Studio. She has specialized training in Bring Your Own Baby (BYOB) and Postpartum Yoga. Additionally, she is a certified doula through DONA International and certified in Pelvic Floor Yoga.
