The Fit Post

What to get the person that has everything (i.e. my mom)…?

Last year I locked up ’favorite child of the year’ spot (as if my brothers even thought they had a chance) when I gave my mom a personal one on one yoga session.  This was an ideal present because it introduced her to a new way of  stretching, lengthening and strengthening her body in a private and informal setting.  Now that yoga is the hot thing for both men and women, private instructors are easier to find than a Starbucks (although no free public bathrooms).  When it comes to my downward facing dogs, there isn’t anyone I would trust more than Jennifer Steele, fellow friend and yogi.  Jen worked with my mom to ensure that she got the five-star treatment for mind, body and soul.  Talk about the gift that keeps on giving…

Jennifer Steele

Jen Steele began teaching yoga at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater where she gained the respect and became friends with many of her students.  Upon graduating college Jen moved to New York to pursue her creative endeavors.  Jen quickly found herself at home working part-time for Yoga Works New York.

Jen’s training foundation stems from her time in Wisconsin as well as her practice and study with handfuls of different teachers including Jenny Aurthur and Lisa Matkin.  Each class she teaches includes fluid motion with strong and technical instruction.  In January, Jen will begin her next teacher training thru Yoga Works, the 300 hour teacher training, a six month commitment.
