Jnanaprabha Jennifer Bobbe began studying and practicing yoga and meditation in college while going through a major depression. She studied for the Unitarian-Universalist Ministry at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago, but after completing the requirements and an internship, chose to take another path. She concluded her M.A. in Religious Studies, with an emphasis in Asian Religions, at New York University in 1997. In an effort to contribute to her thesis on Tibetan death rituals, she began studying Tibetan language and meditation with Venerable Thupten Phuntsok of the Asian Classics Institute in New York in 1996. This led to her becoming a student and initiate of Geshe Michael Roach, Sermey Khensur Lobsang Tharchin, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Today she is a mom of two young children, and continues as a student and aspirant in Buddhism and yoga. She received her RYT-200 Hatha Yoga Teacher Certification from Integral Yoga and her Yin Yoga certification from Corina Benner in 2015, and is currently seeking certification as a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She is a teacher for meditation and yoga classes at Still Mind Martial Arts & Yoga/Integrated Peace Arts.
Jnanaprabha Jennifer Bobbe (RYT-200) will teach a full Integral Yoga basic class incorporating a complete yoga practice. The class is appropriate for all levels including new beginners. The goal of the class is an "easeful body, peaceful mind, useful life." It is intended as preparation for seated meditation and we will take this opportunity to engage in an optional seated meditation practice immediately following class.
