Jennifer Nehila

Jennifer currently teaches a Vinyasa Flow style, both Vigorous and Slower and Steady Classes, and specializes teaching to Brand New Beginners, as well as advanced Practitioners, and bridging the gap between all levels in the same class.  Jennifer was introduced to Ashtanga Yoga in the summer of 2004 by a friend who had a hunch she would benefit from it after a series of intense life changes. As a former gymnast and competitive athlete for more than 16 years, many postures came naturally, but also lead to injury--at which point she decided to journey down a more prudent and mindful study of what yoga entailed in all it's forms--this lead to a rigorous teacher training that is referred to as "transformational fire" under the tutelage of Corina Benner, Julie Morse Pogachefsky, and Victoria Ladd of Wake Up Yoga Philadelphia. She also enjoys acrobatic yoga, slackline yoga ( tight rope) , climbing, and running, and finds traditional yoga practice to be a great compliment to all of these endeavors. Jennifer finds that yoga is always there to support you, like a comfortable and constant friend, and thinks of the mat as safe space where the one "learns to abide in one's true nature" (as the sutras say!)
