Programs

Jennifer Pierotti curates group and individual yoga therapy programs as an adjunctive treatment at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Yoga techniques harmonize the ACC and amygdala hubs in the brain, alleviating suffering, and cultivating self-regulation, resilience, and eudaimonia while improving rationality and values. These techniques also regulate the nervous system, allowing substance abuse users to end the cycle of extreme volleying between states of stress and reward. Jennifer’s programs help participants achieve balance, build self-discipline, release tensions and aggressions, and develop new methods and perspectives to work through life’s challenges.

Injury management and functional movement are one-on-one programs that establish a connection with the body that facilitates a deep understanding of working with injuries, preventing future injuries, and rehabilitating dysfunctional movement patterns. Jennifer evaluates each client’s unique bone structure, conducts musculoskeletal assessments, and curates a program that honors the client’s current condition while safely overcoming physical obstacles to create and maintain balance and ease. The cornerstone of each program is to restore optimal mobility for day-to-day life and activities.

Jennifer Pierotti offers group and individual yoga therapy programs as an adjunctive treatment at cancer centers. Multiple studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of yoga therapy for symptom management in patients with cancer. Jennifer’s programs promote self-healing, decrease fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia while improving flexibility, balance, mood, and overall quality of life. Each program empowers patients, connects them to joy, and propels them forward as active participants and leaders in their care. Jennifer’s therapeutic approach and evidence-based application ensure each program complements the current medical protocol.

Using various research-based protocols, Jennifer Pierotti curates group yoga therapy programs as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) designed to serve veterans and first responders suffering from physical and emotional challenges of war and trauma. Jennifer utilizes breathing techniques, physical postures (emphasizing coordinating movements with the breath), and body scanning meditations to improve mindfulness, increase non-reactivity and reduce depression, anxiety, pain, and sleep disturbances. Research demonstrates practicing awareness helps draw participants to the present rather than ruminating over the past or future and supports a nonreactive response toward internal stimuli allowing participants to improve their quality of life.

Mysore programs are group classes where students are instructed one-on-one within a group setting to cultivate community while honoring individual differences. Since guidance is not collective, students are welcome to enter and exit anytime during the designated time frame. What sets Jennifer Pierotti’s Mysore program apart is her distinct vision of combining Yoga Therapy, Ashtanga, and Iyengar principles. She creates practices that prioritize students’ unique bone structure and strengths, combined with physical challenges, to customize an approach that creates balance and peace.
