Yoga has transformed my back,
changed my life physically & mentally,
& I want the same for each client.
HI, I’M JEAN.
I help you counteract the effects of daily life, poor posture, injury, aging or repetitive motion. I address the unique concerns of your body and use safe and effective yoga sequences to ease tension in the your back, as well as hips, hamstrings, and inner legs which affect the back.
KIDS YOGA
I am passionate about bringing yoga to kids. I have witnessed how yoga and mindfulness supports the social and emotional learning of children. Check out my experiences.
GROUP CLASSES via zoom
I assist yogis and athletes (triathletes, runners, bikers, golfers, swimmers, tennis players) of all ages, including children, to alleviate pain, reduce injury, increase focus and flexibility AND get the "extra edge."
STORIES BY GIGI
Writing is an exploration and a discovery of what I can do with the written word and story. Each of my books present a lesson about life, and how to gracefully dance through opposition or sometimes stumble through the bittersweet moments of life. My hope is to create a worthwhile story that will be read again and again, the reader drawn in by a little bit of hilarity, sometimes mischief, and a lot of relativity.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Yoga is inherently a healing practice, and it can help you feel better physically, mentally and emotionally. Yoga can help you feel younger, stronger, happier and in charge of your life. Specifically, working with me can help you with the strength and mobility of your spine and joy and freedom of movement. Since back pain affects 80% of Americans, I help you use the art of yoga to increase endurance, strength and muscle function of the back, as well as all areas of the body.
RETREATS
Re-treat yourself to a 3-day yoga retreat of renewal, fun, rest and relaxation in different cities around Florida. Previous retreats held at Captiva Island, St. Augustine, Jupiter, Hutchinson Island, Key Largo, and Vero Beach.
TESTIMONIALS
“I met Jean in Feb. 2020 as a newly-retired 55 year-old yoga newbie who was forty pounds overweight, leading a sedentary lifestyle and coming off one of the more stressful years of my life. Shortly after we began in-person chair yoga classes with Jean at the studio COVID-19 required a transition to private and Zoom group classes - both of which are fantastic! Over the past year Jean has helped me progress from chair yoga to challenging vinyasa, slow flow and strength classes, no small feat. Jean is patient, kind and accepting. She takes the time to provide her students with proper technique, modifications and challenges to ensure you will grow with your practice, both physically and mentally.
Physically I am stronger, lighter, more flexible and more energized than I have been in twenty-five years. I appreciate Jean’s focus on improving muscle and bone strength and balance as each of these components impact both short and long-term well-being. Jean’s inclusion of various breathing techniques and how they relate to the inter-connectivity of the breath, the body and the mind has helped me better manage day-to-day stressors and difficult situations that arise.
Jean has truly been a blessing in my life and I am grateful for the opportunity to practice with and learn from her. Jean often includes “You gotta have yoga” in her messages. I will expand that to “You gotta have yoga with Jean Martin!”” — Namaste ~ Karen
“I have been practicing yoga for over ten years. It has been my good fortune to have instructors who were always very good and very competent. Having said that, Jean Martin is an exceptional yoga teacher. Her form is outstanding as is her ability to communicate instructions clearly and precisely. She gives step by step directions while always explaining the purpose and benefit of the poses. She emphasizes correct form and safety. And she is diligent in reminding us to breathe. When necessary she helps us accomplish our poses with caring one to one instruction. She is always positive and kind. As energetic and fun as Jean classes are she outdoes herself when she offers lavender eye pillows during relaxation -- talk about perfection! I look forward to Jean’s classes with joyful as well as grateful anticipation. Jean’s happy, generous, heart permeates each class.” ~ Nano
