Assisting Student

Jeanie has been teaching and studying yoga for over 11 years.

Her classes are eclectic and innovative derived from many styles and techniques:   Vinyasa, Iyengar, Anusara, Restorative, Physical Therapy, Yoga Structural Therapy, Tai Chi, and Pilates.  She is a Certified Restorative Trainer through Judith Hanson Lasater, and a Certified Yoga Instructor through Ananda.

-Vinyasa Flow classes (incorporates movement with the breath)

-Iyengar classes (alignment oriented).

Her private yoga sessions tend to be like mini-physical therapy sessions in the sense that they help strengthen students where they are weak and release where they are tight, and that if needed therapuetic techniques are applied.

She has worked with cancer patients, obesity, physical handicaps (such as missing limbs), aids patients, elderly students, arthritis, pregnancy, back and neck trouble, and computer related problems, and much more.  Her goal is to bring wellness and balance into the life of her students.

She has trained with Judith Hanson Lasater, who is known as the “Queen of Restorative Yoga”, and is a Physical Therapist and Senior Yoga Teacher. For Jeanie, Judith was a source of knowledge for anatomy and advanced yoga techniques in the tradition of Iyengar.  In Jeanie’s classes many modalities are used to captivate the student’s desire to learn more about their unique body, and to grow emotionally and mentally.

Jeanie currently resides in beautiful Sebastopol an hour away from San Francisco. Her innovative style of teaching will help you realize – yoga is not just about the poses on the mat, but what those poses bring to your life!  Expect to bend, grow, strengthen, and be challenged in positive ways!

“I continue to study every day so I can offer more freedom in my students movements: thus more freedom in their lives. –Our relationship to our movements may be the key that unfolds the beauty of our potential.” -Jeanie

    Hi Jon,

    Good to hear from you!

    Actually I am teaching “Yoga For A Healthy Back” right now. I have one class left, and might have some space. Send me your email, or call.

    I will also be teaching the same course in February. I usually teach in the Inner Sunset. But am looking for a bigger space, because of the popularity of this class.

    I am also working on a video for this specific back series.

    Best wishes,
    Jeanie

    Jeanie,
    You’re the best! I loved your classes when you taught at the Stonestown YMCA back in the day, and my husband and I loved your Yoga for a Healthy Back! But I will never foget having you take my cousins and I through the most gorgeous and centering yoga session the morning of my wedding — a true gift! Can’t wait for the December workshop!
