Win a Yoga Therapy Session with Jennifer Brilliant Yoga & Personal Training!

Yoga Therapy:

Using yogic principles, Yoga Therapy involves tools beyond the postures (including subtle body movements, breathing, individualized exercises, hand gestures and relaxation) to enhance one's overall health and wellness.  This session is especially suitable for those with specific aches and ailments. 

This Private Yoga/Yoga Therapy Session is for everyone: 

- For newbies, I'll guide your beginning steps on the path to fitness and enlightenment (even if you can’t touch your toes). 

- For the experienced yoga practitioner, I'll help to refine your poses, giving you more understanding on how to be aligned with more ease. 

- For those with specific aches and ailments, we will use tools for your health and wellness that go far beyond the postures. This will include body awareness, anatomical understanding, movement, breathing, individualized exercises, and relaxation.  

You don’t have to be a yogi or in great shape to benefit from working with me… all you need is a body and a mind! The work I do is intended to help you become less stiff and awkward and more easeful and efficient in how you move through your life. I want you to feel magnificent.

I was an early adopter of yoga therapy, which is designed to be responsive to individual needs. As an experienced yoga teacher and therapist, I have the tools to help the many different clients who come to my door. (And if you can’t come to my door, we can do a remote session!)

I started my career as a professional dancer and became a master dance teacher. I was curious about all that the body could do, and my intensive study of dance, Pilates, and Alexander Technique put me in tune with myself and gave me confidence in a whole new way. When I took my first yoga class, I loved that it had a universal quality, and I saw that yoga could quite literally benefit every body.

Since 1989, I’ve been teaching yoga and doing personal training in offices, homes, and yoga studios. From 2000-2005, I was the director of Teacher Training at OM Yoga in New York. I’ve worked with clients managing challenges including mobility issues, chronic illness or pain, anxiety, and recovery from surgery.

These days I offer yoga, yoga therapy, yoga focused core work and exercises to gently recover from an injury – virtually in my studio in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn. I also direct Beyond Brilliant, a selective team of yoga teachers who work with clients one-on-one and in the workplace.

I believe yoga and other body-mind practices are powerful for people of any body type, age, or ability, from beginners to those who are already steeped in their own practice. Reach out to me if you’d like to learn more about working together.

P.S. That really is my last name. I didn’t make it up. 

Jennifer Brilliant Yoga & Personal Training is in Park Slope, Brooklyn located at 732A Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY 11215.
