The Yoga Sanctuary

Teacher Trainer; Instructor E-RYT 500, YACEP, AYS,Jennifer’s interest in yoga began in 1998 when a friend recommended BKS Iyengar’s book, Light on Yoga. Soon after, she took her first group classes in Rochester, NY, with an Iyengar certified teacher. Her journey came full circle in 2007 after moving to Southwest Florida and completing her first yoga teacher training at Yoga from the Heart. Jennifer has an integrated teaching style that encourages students to explore the subtleties of movement in a way that is gentle yet challenging – and always infused with humor. Registered with the National Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT 200, E-RYT 500, and YACEP (continuing education provider), Jennifer remains a student and continues to study with her primary teachers, Tias and Surya Little of Prajna Yoga in Santa Fe, New Mexico.,Jennifer is honored to have been able to join TYS as part of the teaching staff in 2008, shortly after Bonnie Yonker opened the studio. In 2015, as Bonnie's path changed, Jennifer stepped into the role of studio owner. She is especially grateful to Bonnie, The Yoga Sanctuary, and the amazing community of yogis here in Punta Gorda for their support, inspiration, and commitment to the yogic path.
