About us
Our Team
JENNIFER STAS
Wildflower Founder, Yoga Instructor
RYT-500 Yoga Instructor | SUP Yoga Instructor | Pre/ Post Natal Certified
Known as the Gandhi of Glitter, meet our Wildflower founder, Jennifer Stas. Jenn delivers her love of Yoga in many forms of style, technique and atmosphere as she guides students through vigorous but lighthearted flow classes that help to restore the inner peace and balance within them once again. With her vibrant personality, huge heart and zenful words, students will leave each session feeling in a state of bliss as the balance between mind and body are restored.
Jenn loves to host unique yoga retreat experiences all over the world. With wanderlust pulsating through her veins, she combines her interests in yoga, meditation, Ayurveda and all things spiritual into every retreat.
Jenn is a RYT-500 Yoga instructor trained in Hatha Yoga from NYC's Laughing Lotus Yoga Center where she studied in both NYC and Rishikesh, India. Jenn is also a Certified SUP (stand up paddle board) Yoga Instructor certified by Paddle Bliss in San Diego, CA and a certified Pre/Post Natal Yoga teacher certified at Dig Yoga in Lambertville, NJ under Sue Elkind. Jenn loves being a part of the Yoga world and has extended her training beyond the mat becoming certified in Chakra Balancing and Reiki Level-2.
Uschi's life transitioned to India in 2008, where she has lived predominately in Varanasi ever since. Establishing a women's empowerment unit in the villages outside of Varanasi, she learned the customs and language of Varanasi so she could engage on a level very unique for a foreigner. Coming from the community of Ojai, California, USA, where she taught Yoga and worked on Yoga events, she grew into wanting to share her passion for India with friends and an extended community.
Uschi and her husband Rakesh established LuckyLalita together in 2011 to live their dream of hosting groups and sharing the magic of Varanasi. They strive to offer a multi layered experience which is safe, protected, but also engages on a deep level with local culture, customs, spirituality, and the sacred geography of the places they visit. www.luckylalita.com

ERICA BUCKLEY
Social Media Director, All around Wildflower
Essential Oil Teacher/ Advocate | IG: @choosekindcraftingandoils
It’s no surprise that our social media needed a major boost but we knew of only one woman who could save the day - our very own Erica Buckley. You may have seen Erica around at Wine + Yoga pouring your wine, wrangling goats around the lavender farm, taking your temps before the start of class etc. etc. - and that’s because she’s not just our social media director but, Jenn’s right hand woman!
Erica loves being a social media junky, crafting, yoga and most of all, essential oils. Be on the look out for our *NEW* 'Essential Oils + Yoga' workshops this season hosted by, Erica + Jenn!
Who we work with
We at Wildflower Sup + Yoga don't believe a Yoga practice has to only be confined to studio walls. Instead we believe in bringing our yoga practice into the great outdoors!
Every company we work with is a local Mom & Pop business located in Hunterdon County, NJ. From farms to water, we like to let our students bask in what nature and what Hunterdon County has to offer.
You may find a few other all natural entrepreneurial companies we like to work with too!
