Practice and Philosophy

Practice Description
Jennifer offers group yoga instruction at several facilities in Claremont. Her classes are designed to make the healing practice of yoga more accessible. Some classes address specific needs, and students of all ability levels are welcomed.

Philosophy
A person would go to a yoga class to practice more skillful breathing (pranayama), to settle mental static (meditation), and to inhabit one's body more effectively (asana). Yoga postures are practiced to improve strength, flexibility and balance, and can do a lot towards improving one's wellness and overall quality of life. Yoga provides a map of what to avoid and what to seek out: this is what I find so appealing and wonderful about Yoga. I have been influenced by the Iyengar tradition and the Anusara system, and am currently studying philosophy with the renowned teacher Kofi Busia. I am inspired to continually grow in this 5,000 year old expansive world of Yoga.
