Introduction	Jean Marie planted the seed of yoga in her teens when she began going to class with her mother and studying meditation. It wasn't until the age of 25, however, that yoga began to bloom in her life. Her partner challenged her to 90 days of yoga, and she hasn't skipped a day since. She loves exploring the many facets of yoga, and draws from the teachings of Sri T. Krishnamacharya, B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Patthabi Jois, T.K.V. Desikachar, and Paramahansa Yogananda, to name a few. With humble gratitude, Jean Marie currently studies with Nicki Doane, Eddie Modestini, Dominique Pandolfi, and Leslie Quinn. Drawing on these lineages, Jean Marie’s classes explore alignment and body mechanics through pranayama and asana of grace and strength. No matter the level of intensity, each class encourages working from the gross to the subtle, deepening the study of the self and working to prevent future suffering. Devotion to the transformative power of yoga and the desire to learn and share all that it has to offer to the world motivate the teachings. Jean Marie’s teaching is rooted in the belief that as we become more intimate with our yoga, our practice becomes our greatest teacher.
