You will flow through simple yoga poses, enjoy silent moments for reflection, and end with a well deserved savasana. We welcome all ages, bodies, and genders. Knowledge of basic yoga poses helpful but not required. Modifications will be given for beginners and options for advanced students.

Summer

Summer (aka Jennifer) has spent her life being athletic; (biking, running, weight lifting, and playing tennis). All the physical activity with little stretching put strains on her body leading to a back injury. Every doctor she visited had the same recommendation, DO YOGA. After only a few classes, she was hooked. She found the healing practices of yoga brought balance to her life, physically and spiritually. Summer pursued her passion to share all the benefits of yoga with others by receiving her RYT certification in 2016 and has been teaching ever since. If you like variety, you will love taking a class with Summer. 

She Leads lighthearted, intelligent and creatively- sequenced vinyasa classes with thoughtful instruction. She enjoys weaving themes into her classes inspired by quotes, stories, the sun and moon cycles and even county music lyrics. A fellow teacher and friend, once told her, “You have a way of looking at the world with stability, love, and grace. Share your gift.” You can join her in her studio in Silver Spring, Md. September- June. She also teaches at ExtendYoga in North Bethesda, MD (where she received her Yoga Teacher Training) and teaches On The Beach in Ocean City, Md (122nd St) May- September. Summer received her 300 hour certificate from YogaWorks in April 2020. She is now ERYT- 500.

Additional experience; Collegiate Team Yoga, Corporate Yoga, Chair Yoga, Yoga for Seniors Registered with Yoga Alliance.
