Welcome Fellow Yogi's
I hope you find inspiration and lots of helpful tools to help you on your path to Yogic Living.

Yogic, by definition, is the adjective of yoga. So to set the record straight, Yogic is not a new form of yoga. It is simply a lifestyle led by most yoga practitioners. Considering there are many degrees of a person’s lifestyle within yoga, this one is based on my unique style that I perceive as suitable for me. I am a Registered Yoga Instructor and affiliated with the National Yoga Alliance.
I am Wife, Mom and Student trying to live the yogic way in our modern world...sharing my ideas and inspirations that will hopefully inspire you to take that next step toward a more harmonious existence within your Mind, Body & Spirit.

Currently I only do private lessons in your home at your convenience. Serving NYC, the Central New Jersey Area and New Jersey Shore Area.

Yoga/ Reiki Biography
Jennifer Dember, RYT, wife, & mother has had a personal practice of Yoga for over 10 years. She has incorporated Yoga into all aspects of her life. Through injury, pregnancy and post partem. It is here where Yoga truly balanced & toned her both mentally & physically. The physical effects were obvious before & after having a child by shaping the body, losing bulges and replacing them with lean muscle. The mental effects have coached her through labor and child rearing of both kids.

Her desire to teach stemmed from an urge to share this healing practice with everyone. Having been mentored and apprenticed with Linda Cucurullo, the director of Basic Moves Yoga, lead her to completing the 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher Certification course at Hofstra University. Since then she has moved forward with the development of http://www.yogicliving.com, an independent resource for classes & retreats. Her continuing education through College, books, retreats & seminars has kept her abreast of all the latest trends & classic styles encompassing the Yogic world. She has also completed been her training to practice Reiki, a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation through hands on healing.

Jennifer’s intuitive nature is one of the many reasons why she’s able to adapt so well to each individual student. From; nursery-aged children, to physically challenged students, to anxiety stressed clients have been her expertise in the field. Her typical class consists of a genuine opportunity to tune into ones own body & move with gentle but an enlivening motion.

Creating a calm ambiance with a good flow of postures is how she helps her students heal themselves within each lesson. With Jennifer’s patient & excellent instruction each student builds up their own drive to sustain a regular practice. Through breath work, within her safe & warm environment, students attain a level of confidence therefore reducing their stress & anxiety levels.

Jennifer works individually with her students to promote their health now, no matter where they come from originally. Tailoring her private lessons into a noncompetitive and peaceful atmosphere has been successful for even her most novice students. Calm yet energized is how you’ll hear her students explain the effects of this gentle yet effective practice.
