Dis cover the benefits of yoga with Jennifer Houghton,
Certified Yo ga & Fitness Instructor

After many years of teaching fitness and yoga, I came to realize mypassion is to create gentle yoga, fitness, and meditation programs that reduce pain and aid with regeneration. When its treated right, the body has limitless potential to rejuvenate.

Ivebeen teaching fitness and gentle yoga to beginners for o ver 25 yea rs. Ive helped h undreds of clien ts learn gentle stretches and exercises that are appropriate for their needs.

Yoga and movement must help us to improve the health of ourbodiesin ways that are appropri ate to our level and age.

I offer online programs, one-to-one locally or via Skpye, and teach live workshops and classes. Bio is here .

Who Is Bountiful Yoga For?

The benefits of yoga can be enjoyed by beginners over 50 (or younger) who want to stay active, mobile, and independent. Its for anyone who wants to reduce pain and enjoy life.

If you are new to yoga, meditation, and exercise or have been sedentary, you will still find programs here that are achievable and painless. If you want to stay active but strains and sprains dont heal as quickly as they used to, this yoga will help.

Jennifers unique breathing technique for reducing pain, called The Release Method , is for anyone even those with limited mobility.

People who take Jennifers programs know they can come and do the exercises and sequences even if they are recovering from a heart attack, have a pace maker, an artificial hip, have weak wrists, bad knees, are overweight, havent exercised for years, are 93, have a bad back from 30 years of driving a forklift, and they wont get pushed beyond their limits.

I just listened to you and Ashley's talk, following allowing with your exercises, I can't tell you how amazing and relaxed it made me feel. I felt so relaxed, feeling intensely relaxed sensations through my body only felt before during acupuncture or orgasm. I felt them starting at the soles of my feet and slowly reaching up my legs towards my heart. I felt it radiating across my chest and entire abdomen. And with each breath the sensation grew stronger and steadier. It's been about 20 minutes and my body is shaking. I am amazed at how effective just breathing can be and I thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
