"I'd originally asked Jennifer to visit my film set twice a week for private yoga lessons since I knew she was no stranger to this environment and type of client, but when my cast mates witnessed first-hand the calming effect that a regular practice was having on me - once notorious for being "impatient" on long shoot days - they all wanted some of whatever I was on. We now have Jennifer on set 5-6 times a week . Her warm energy and vivacious personality make every session memorable." - James, 36 "I chose Poised Living so that I could have flexibility around the days and times of the sessions to fit in with my lifestyle (I travel a lot) and where I would get personalized Pilates & Yoga training. Each class is different as Jennifer works with me in a way that keeps the routines fresh and challenging but also that responds to my energy levels. She has a unique style of communication that visualises the movements in a way that helps me get the most out of the exercise and respond to correction. She is a thorough and expert teacher with artistic flair and an obvious joy of what she does. Even after a year, I look forward to and enjoy my classes with Jennifer. They are fun, I am learning new movements all the time, I feel physically stronger as I progress through the levels and I feel like I have found a special place in the heart of Venice for ‘me time’. This hidden, private studio is like the secret garden, once you go in, you won’t want to leave!” - Marcus Guggenheim, 44 “Before I was introduced to Jennifer I was very injury prone. I continue to play a lot of sport but for the last 2 years my injuries have been minimal and this has been largely due to Jennifer's pilates one on one classes. My overall body strength has improved dramatically and I can now play sport with much more confidence . Due to her athletic background she understands how the body works and knows you cannot apply one method for everyone. I have tried other teachers and none of them have come close to having the knowledge that Jennifer has. I would highly recommend her to anyone – young or old, injured or not injured, fit or unfit.” - Mira Johnson, 33 “I saw Jennifer in the run up to major abdominal surgery and am convinced that the work we did was hugely beneficial for my swift recovery. I have continued our sessions and feel stronger and more flexible. I really feel that Jennifer really takes the time to understand me and her approach is attentive, caring and truly personal.” - Ted Williams, 39 “Jennifer is undoubtedly the best trainer I have ever used, apart from knowing Pilates better than anyone else I've trained with, she also understands the way your body works so you get the best results in the quickest time, on top of this she makes training fun” - Melissa, 28 “I was completely phobic of exercise before I saw Jennifer for Pilates and Yoga – she made the sessions and the subject calm, understandable, easy to progress in and great fun. I recommend her whole heartedly.” - Lane, 45 "jennifer is without question the most capable yoga instructor I've ever had the pleasure to study under. She beautifully balances limitless positivity with calm focus. Every session I've attended with Jennifer is distinct and unique -- she adjusts the flow based on the participants and their individual needs that day. What I most admire and appreciate about Jennifer is her constant personal study -- as she learns new techniques and combinations she passes them on directly to her students. Studying with Jennifer has given my personal yoga practice an immeasurable boost." - Mary Pierce, 38 "All prepared in advance and very well organized. Jennifer's technique is brilliant. There are gentle but firm boundaries for challenging behavior and a great ability to keep the children’s attention 100%. There is an excellent progression of sequenced yoga movements in story form. The kids love it!" - Scott Duyan, Presidio Hill School "As an MS sufferer Jennifer's yoga classes have been a life saver for me, helping me to sleep better and feel more energized and stronger. Jennifer's ability to work individually with each of us as if we were alone, while still in a group environment is amazing! It has helped me cope with a really tough time in my life and still keep smiling!" - Kate Walsh, 41 "Jennifer's classes are always challenging and always a lot of fun. One class and you are hooked! " - Michael Soderbergh, 24 |
