Jennifer
Jennette is the founder of Grow Yoga in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Grow Yoga's mission is to present the practice and principles of yoga in
a simple way to children and adults so that they may use yoga as a way
of healthy, vibrant and joyful living.
Grow Yoga supports our community's growing awareness of the benefits of yoga to the body, mind and spirit.
Jennifer has been practicing
Hatha yoga since 1994 and has been teaching since becoming certified in
2004. She is a member of Yoga Alliance (RYT-200) and is a member of the
International Association of Yoga Therapists. She is also a certified
Montessori teacher. Jennifer has experience teaching yoga to children,
yoga to senoirs, Iyengar "alignment-based" yoga, dynamic vinyasa yoga,
and laughter yoga meditation.
Jennifer has recently begun offering laughter yoga as part of her practice. Practicing laughing is one way to utilize and develop the breath. Breathing practice is powerful and is useful
in reducing stress and purifying the body and mind. Jennifer
loves introducing her students to the yoga of breathing called
pranayama. Pranayama is the practice of becoming aware of and learning
to harness the power of the breath which is life energy moving through
your body.
Jennifer
also has a special interest in teaching yoga for children with
attention and sensory integration issues. Recently, she has also had the
opportunity to work with children dealing with chronic pain and will
continue to incorporate that into her practice.
"The
practice of developing a healthy body, a steady mind, and a
compassionate heart, as we learn to do through yoga, allows us to
experience our unpredictable lives with a sense of boundless optimism,
curiosity, and gratitude. The
state of Yoga is the result of consistent practice; dedicate yourself
to the practice of yoga and enjoy a wonderful way of life. ♥ "
