As Yoga Teachers we do so much. Yes, we do help bodies become stronger, leaner, more flexible, and more resilient. We do the same for minds, and spirits, which is often forgotten here in the West. We are physical psychologists for lack of a better description. We help to release years of conditioning, physical, emotional, and mental trauma from the body. We teach our students how to trust their own intuition, their own bodies, their own spirits. We help people breathe for the first time since they were babies. We help people cope with day to day stress, and monumental emotional issues. We help people to overcome addictions, and live free from the control of outside chemicals and forces, as well as inward voices. We give strength to women who have seen the worst forms of abuse. We give compassion to those who's bodies have become frail, and fragile, and possibly begun to betray them. We are friends during life's struggles, healers, and nurturers. We are Spiritual Guides.

 

Jennifer Hauserman is a Registered 200ERYT-500RYT Yoga Teacher.  She was trained directly by Acharya PremShakti Mary Stout in West Palm Beach, FL.  Prem Yoga is accepted and recognized by the Kripalu Organization as Kripalu Yoga.  PremShakti is one of the founding members of the Kripalu Organization, and is one of the creators and facilitators of the Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training program.  Jen has been practicing and teaching yoga since 2001.  Her teaching style is very heart-centered, and intuitive.  She recognizes that all bodies are different and believes that ALL bodies CAN practice yoga.  The reason is because, one does not have to be anything other than an open, living, breathing human to experience the benefits of yoga. It doesn't matter how far one can bend, or how well one can perform a pose, or how strong the body is.  The physical practice is meant to prepare the body for meditation, and to bring the body to a state of balance so that the mind/body/spirit can work in harmony in our day to day, messy lives.
