Jennifer Brilliant Yoga & Personal Training

I have been enrolled in Jennifer Brilliant’s virtual VIP series since she first offered it. The members in the class are all different levels of experience ranging from a yoga instructor to me with little experience. I never once felt that I could not follow or keep up with the class. Jennifer makes every class different and tailors to each of our abilities and needs. She remembers who has a twisted ankle or tight shoulders or lower back pain and brings and modifies movements to assist with healing. At one point I had an eye injury and Jennifer was sure to tell me how to do an exercise differently to keep my head from inverting. The class is a great mix of stretching, strength and flexibility building and gentle cardio. It’s been so convenient to take the class from home, Jennifer somehow pays attention to each of us and suggests corrections to our poses. I also really love the short reading she opens the session with which becomes a theme for that class. Working from home and spending too much time in front of screens, I finish each of Jennifer’s classes feeling great about moving my body and having my soul nourished by such kindness, generosity and wisdom.

Jennifer's yoga sessions have made a profound impact on my well being. I teach preschool age children and am often exhausted by the time I come to yoga. Jennifer's classes always manage to restore my energy and focus. She has such knowledge about the inner workings of the body and has helped me effectively address issues with digestion, fatigue, back pain and joint tenderness. Jennifer has worked with me on strengthening activities both in class and at home. For each private session, she carefully crafts a menu of specific stretches and poses that I can practice on my own. During her online group classes, Jennifer always makes sure to help students adjust poses to their own capability. She is able to provide more challenges to the seasoned yogis while meeting the needs of those newer to the practice. Her classes are truly a joyous, body and mind affirming yogic experience.

Jennifer is a wonderful teacher who connects easily with each student and their particular strengths and needs. She shares her understanding of yoga in ways that allow a deepening understanding of personal process and practice. Yoga for Strong Bones was so satisfying I signed up for the next series!

Jennifer Brilliant has a gem of a studio on Carroll Street in Park Slope that is inviting to students of all levels. I've been practicing yoga with Jennifer for several years and religiously attend the Sunday morning 10am class. Jennifer has cultivated a community of friendly and caring students through her love for teaching and sharing. Her classes are intimate but not intimidating. The studio is welcoming and impeccably clean. Jennifer gives personalized attention to each student and modifies poses easily based on level and injuries. I worked through a torn hamstring a few years back and also a recent back injury - she was amazing guiding me with her precise instruction, extensive training and knowledge. And I must add she has a wonderful sense of humor that keeps it all very real. I leave each class feeling stronger in both body and mind!

I just finished my third five-session series of "Yoga for Strong Bones" classes with Jennifer Brilliant. These classes are amazing! I come out feeling strong and so energetic I go home and get a million things done afterwards. I know a lot of people who love yoga, but I had never tried it. My doctor recommended yoga for osteoporosis, and I learned that Jennifer had this class. She is knowledgeable, gives individual pointers and has yoga aides that help the class master the poses. I highly recommend it!
