Basic Yoga

This class is good for those who prefer a slower practice with the focus on flexibility. Each class is unique in its own way based on what the group wants or needs. All classes include breathing reminders, joint-freeing movements and stretches to warm up the muscles before practicing the poses. Props are offered and available for good alignment and ease in the postures. A yoga based practice means students are encouraged to go at their own pace. Students new to yoga can start here. Prepared to be gonged in the deep relaxation!

Y-Stretch Studio yoga teacher

Jennifer began her yoga journey in 1995 when she booked a vacation to de-stress based on price and location only. She was very surprised to arrive at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram on Paradise Island in the Bahamas where guests were expected to participate in 3 hours of yoga and 2 hours of meditation each day. One week there forever changed her being and began her transformation towards flexibility. She then began a home practice. After 2 years of practicing the class she learned at the ashram she was finally able to touch her toes for the first time! Five years later she became a yoga teacher and by 2005 teaching yoga was her full time job. She has 200 hour certifications From Integral Yoga and Yoga Synthesis. A 300 hour Certification for Advanced Yoga from Yoga Synthesis. She has also completed the Yamuna Body Rolling Certification and is a NJ licensed massage therapist.
