What’s your name?
Jessica Pennelli
Which community do you live in?
Niagara Region ( St.Catharines )
How do you serve your community?
I teach Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Prenatal Yoga in St.Catharines.
How did your prenatal yoga training help you?
It has helped me grow as a yoga instructor, designing classes a little more tailored and personal to those that come to my classes. I have a better understanding of the yoga postures that work well during pregnancy and how a pregnant body responds to yoga.
What makes your classes special to those who attend?
I love the connections you make with students, the community that yoga builds is like no other. I have a passion for restorative yoga, so I try to incorporate some gentle challenges to the postures in my class, followed by a restorative end. This allows for the body and mind to settle better into the restorative postures.
Do you have a message for anyone who is considering taking Prenatal yoga training? Where do you teach? Days? Times?
I highly recommend True North Prenatal Yoga, it has given me the confidence I needed. Your journey with them does not end when your training ends. They are always there for support. I teach an 8 week Prenatal Session, Saturdays at 9:45am starting in January 2020
