Ayurveda

” I greatly appreciate Jennifer’s thoroughness and willingness to explain the different processes as well as her reasoning for each suggestion she makes.  I am able to be extremely open about my feelings and bodily functions! Any questions I have are welcome, and contemplated over deeply. I feel seen, heard, and understood.  Not only does Jennifer offer her own suggestions, but I also feel she is sharing the knowledge, so that I can learn to trust my body, and develop the instincts to heal myself!” 

—Justine J.

“Jennifer was caring and very generous as she supported me in [a seasonal] reset to meet my individual needs. The program was clear and well rounded with instructions for food preparation, yoga, breath work, meditation, and journaling. The videos were particularly useful and easy to follow.”

—Monique

Ayurveda is the science of life.

This 5,000-year-old medical system from India defines health not by the absence of disease, but by having a full, juicy, balanced life aligned with your personal integrity and values.

I came to Ayurveda as a last-ditch effort to resolve chronic digestion issues that made my doctors (yes, plural) scratch their heads. But that doesn’t mean you have to feel unwell to start living the Ayurveda way.

The elegance of the system comes from prioritizing the maintenance health and preventing disease, through daily rituals for inspired living. No matter how you’re feeling yesterday, today, or tomorrow, Ayurveda has a way to make sense of it, and many ways to ensure you’re feeling like the best version of you.


Because of its inherently personalized approach to health, the best way to begin is through one-on-one consultations.

“Jennifer is a skilled listener and gentle guide to the world of Ayurveda. I enjoyed our consultation and continue to refer to the detailed letter she provided, containing suggestions and resources for further research. I have used her recommendations to make a number of adjustments to my diet and lifestyle, all to good effect. I left both of our sessions feeling renewed and empowered by our work together. It was a pleasure.”
—Holly S.

“This was my first foray into Ayurveda and doing a seasonal reset/cleanse. The community element made it so special and manageable, for which I’m very grateful. I plan to incorporate the recipes into my ongoing daily meals and the breathing, yoga, and writing exercises as daily routines. The letter writing in particular, was wonderful and transformative. It’s been such a wonderful experience, meeting Jennifer and doing this reset with her gentle, loving, and expert guidance, every step of the way!  I loved the experience—I feel restored and ‘healed.'” 

—Bita A. 

Yoga

Yoga is the union of body and mind.

Self-study (svadhyaya) is at the core of my teaching philosophy.

Beginning a practice of yoga is a life-changing step toward improving your physical, mental, and physical well-being. As a multi-faceted discipline, yoga incorporates not only physical postures (or asanas), but myriad tools to direct the instabilities of the mind through breath work, meditation, and chanting. Each one of us has different needs, so the forms of yoga we choose to practice will be as unique as our beautiful souls. And each time we step into our practice—whether it’s on or off the mat—we have an opportunity to learn more about ourselves at the deepest levels, and honor the wisdom of the teacher within.

As the sister science to yoga, Ayurveda is interwoven into all of my teachings, as a way to respect the energetic qualities of the time of year and the group of people in the class.


Public Classes & Private Sessions

I currently teach at Arise Yoga in Brooklyn. Please check the schedule for my upcoming classes.

Home Practice

You are your own greatest teacher. These free video resources can help you experiment with postures, props, sequencing, breath work, and meditation to suit your schedule, experience level, and personal needs.

Yoga + Ayurveda

Known as the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda incorporates many yogic techniques—asana, pranayama, and meditation—in its medicine bag for creating balance in mind, body, and spirit. I incorporate Ayurveda into all of my teachings, as a way to respect the energetic qualities of the time of year and the group of people in the class.

Resources

Quality over Quantity.

Ensuring that what we put in and on our bodies is of the highest quality is essential to a healthy lifestyle. I’m scrupulous about buying wellness products from brands and companies that source and prepare their materials with concern for ethical treatment of the land and people involved in their making. Please find links to my favorite sources below.
