Gigi Neeley

Jennifer Neeley, known to her family and friends as Gigi, is a certified yoga instructor with both Yoga Alliance (RYT 200) and NCCPT (National Council for Certified Personal Trainers), as well as a walk fitness instructor with Leslie Sansome’s Walk 15®. Gigi’s style is flowing and meditative, designed to help connect the body and mind, as you gain strength and flexibility. Gigi is heavily influenced by her own journey to wellness, which began in 2012 when she was faced with organ failure and weighed nearly 300 lbs.

That experience served as her wake up call and Gigi pursued a journey of body-mind wellness education, eventually losing more than 160 lbs. without the need for surgery or fad diets. While trying different forms of exercise, beginning with walking, Gigi reawakened her love affair with yoga that began by bringing the book Power Yoga with her to Turkmenistan when she was sent there on her Peace Corps assignment back in 1998.

Though her weight-loss and wellness journey, she relied on walking and pilates, and tried The Bar Method. Each had a specific role to play in her fitness journey, but Gigi found that Yoga gave her the most ‘complete’ workout; allowing her to begin to free herself of judgment and thus having profound benefits beyond the mat.

Similarly, Gigi’s weight loss journey took many forms, beginning with a low-calorie physician-monitored program, followed by Weight Watchers, of which she is a Lifetime Member. Gigi believes in accountability and the MyFitnessPal app has been key for her.

Gigi is now helping others through Yoga and instruction and health and wellness coaching that allows anyone to learn from the techniques she’s adopted to live their best life!

Before her wellness and lifestyle journey, Gigi was a well-know social and digital media expert and TV news veteran two-time Emmy nominee®, having received her MS from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, BA in English from the University of California at Berkeley, as well as a certificate in acting from the American Conservatory Theater.
