Jennifer’s yoga practice began in 1997, studying with Dharma Mittra, from whom she received her Yoga Teaching Certification. In 2003, she was introduced to the Iyengar Yoga method and began studying embodied anatomy with Genny Kapuler, all of which has greatly influenced her teaching and way of life. She has taught Embodied Anatomy for Dancers at Montclair State University, The Limón Institute, and the Martha Graham School. Jennifer’s introduction to Pilates was with Kathy Grant, one of the first teachers of the technique, at NYU, and used the method to rehabilitate her numerous dance injuries.
