"Come as you are." Like the invitation of the Nirvana lyrics, for nearly 30 years Jen has deeply appreciated the practice of Pilates and its ability to meet us where we are - with equipment that can flexibly challenge, support, or rehabilitate at any given moment. From restorative to athletic, every class is a bit of self-care and longevity...and fun! Trained in Balanced Body (Irvine Valley College in CA + Coreworks, MD) and Peak equipment, Jen teaches mat, Reformer, and Tower. She is also a 300+ hours Certified Yoga Teacher, trained by Charm City Yoga (Kim Manfredi) and Yogaworks in the Hatha/Vinyasa-style tradition, and her teaching is uplifting, mindful, and grounding.
Jen is an applied mathematician (decision scientist), executive coach, and conflict trainer/mediator. Like so many of us, the common thread in our day jobs is a whole lot of sitting. So, she especially understands and enjoys some extra stretch and attention to postural support in the practice. Cue the 'deep sigh exhale', and she'll see you on the carriage!
