Jennie is a valuable member of our staff who focuses on the complete healing process of reconnecting the body, mind, and spirit through yoga practices. Jennie holds over two decades of experience in helping children and families in settings such as group homes, juvenile halls, home-based services, and day treatment centers. She also worked for 10 years as a mild/moderate special education teacher at Lincoln High School. Jennie has always possessed a passion for giving back to her community in whatever ways possible.
Jennie discovered the power and benefits of yoga early in her career. She both practices and teaches yoga as a beneficial addition to any form of recovery. Yoga is a unique practice that utilizes a person’s bodily strength and encourages a reconnection with a person’s inner-self. This is done through a connection of body and mind brought together through flow movements and focused breathing techniques. Yoga can provide a healing power no matter the level of physical strength or experience.
