While honoring the authority and teachings of classical yoga, Jennifer believes in the potential of each individual to find their own innate intelligence within. In 1994, she started a search to find an alternative to surgery for a debilitating back injury, which eventually led her to yoga. Her practice grew from that hopeful investment in physical health to a thoroughly committed study of yoga philosophy and practice. Jennifer’s teaching and self-study are informed by her practice in applying yogic techniques to transform injury into wellness.

Jennifer’s vinyasa classes are slow and steady, incorporating her experience in the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions with the space and instruction needed for students to observe the alignment and synthesis of mind, breath, and movement. Detailed attention to the dynamic characteristics and qualities of this synthesis is offered, along with varying levels of technique and challenge in order to encourage individual development.

In addition to her practice and teaching, Jennifer is senior associate editor at Yoga Journal. Read her article “Come to Your Senses,” on developing lasting calm through pratyahara.
