“It’s hard to summarize the impact that Jennifer Pierotti has had on my yoga practice, my career, and my life. Under her tutelage, I’ve experienced things that I’d never even known were possible. I’ve especially benefited from her advanced knowledge and awareness of human anatomy and biomechanics. She has inspired so much of how I show up as a therapeutic yoga teacher & human being.
I leave each meeting, class, and session having gotten exactly what I needed. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with Jennifer Pierotti. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, & brilliant mentor (or teacher) then I could not recommend her enough.” ~Anna Gingrich
I’m very fortunate that my yoga journey has led me to Jennifer. I became a student of Jennifer’s in 2019, and I’ve completed 500-hours of yoga teacher training with her. Additionally, Jennifer introduced me to Ashtanga. My personal yoga practice has transformed significantly since I’ve studied with Jennifer, and I continually learn ways to improve as a yoga student and teacher. Jennifer is an outstanding and dedicated yoga teacher. She is brilliant, compassionate, and disciplined. I’m grateful for my time spent under Jennifer’s wing thus far. I will forever be a student of Jennifer Pierotti Yoga.

Jennifer is my favorite and trusted teacher. She was my mentor in the yoga teacher training program. I was so lucky to be her student, especially nowadays. She can see something in you that you didn’t see in yourself. She always gives different guidelines for practice to various people. She is a knowledgeable yogi and knows a lot about all aspects of yoga— especially anatomy ( she is an anatomy nerd). Her patient, compassionate and encouraging way of teaching brings each practitioner closer to themselves.

Jennifer Pierotti has been my yoga teacher for about five years now and has transformed my practice to make me stronger than I’ve ever been. Her knowledge of anatomy and how muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the skeleton work together is phenomenal. She thoroughly understands why and how to do each pose and gives feedback to promote a safe and healthy individual practice for each person in the room. Jennifer is patient with all her students and answers any question thoughtfully and carefully. Jennifer has become a yoga therapist, adding value to her teaching since she now incorporates bits of that into every class. Jennifer has my highest recommendation.

Jennifer Pierotti gets my highest recommendation as a yoga instructor and as a mentor. Her style is one of a kind. After attending numerous workshops she conducted, I was fortunate enough to study with her in 2019 when completing my first 200 hr yoga teacher training. After I completed my training, I continued with her Mentorship Program. Working one-on-one with her, I was able to dig deeper into every aspect of teaching from how to intelligently sequence, yoga therapeutics, and anatomy. Further, Jennifer personally instructs me in my own therapeutic yoga practice. The positive results I’m seeing now are a tribute to her extensive knowledge and dedication to her students and fellow teachers.
