Jennifer L Rabenstein
Bio & class offering,
Blind Yoga
Yoga can look like an amazing and beautiful activity to do, though did you know that what it looks like is not the most important thing about it? It's about how it feels!

Allow Jennifer to guide you through an experience where you turn off your eyes and tune into yourself.

Step up to the mat, pull down an eye mask, and experience how yoga feels!

Jennifer is a RYT200 with focus on making yoga accessible to all. She is losing her eyesight to Stargardts, a hereditary form of macular degeneration. Before going into yoga teacher training she had many doubts as to how one who cannot see everything could possibly guide others in yoga, until she learned that yoga isn't about seeing and telling people what to do, it's about guiding them in how to make yoga what it needs to be for them. Jennifer has led countless yoga classes over the past few years, including chair yoga classes for the blind and vision impaired.

She has attended trainings led by practitioners such as Beryl Bender Birch, Tymi Howard, Ana Hoke, Erik Marrero, Chris Loebsak, Dr. Omanand, and Bhante Sujhata.

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Heart-centered Hatha

Heart center is the physical space we carry for love and compassion.Share in a practice that moves through poses that focus on opening our hearts with asanas that extend, expand, and uplift. These poses help us to connect, appreciate, and accept our authentic selves. When we are able to access that space and energy more readily we have the ability to positively influence the way we see ourselves, how we interact with others, and how we see the world around us which encourages meaningful connection.

Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple PA I About Us

I started this part of my journey around 15 years ago when I was attuned to Reiki, then soon after Reiki Master, while starting studies in Shamonic experiences and healing techniques. It was like a huge door opened filled with wonder and my curiosity to explore. I deepened my Shamanic aspects by attending multiple workshops and retreats created by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I began to incorporate more sound tools (drumming,rattles,singing bowls,ect.) in the sessions I was giving.My next opportunity was to study with the Institute of Modern Wisdom, joining the Priestess program. This deepened both my awe and ever evolving relationship with Consciousness, the Universe, the Goddess. I began regularly leading Sacred Mystic Circles, a gathering with a theme intention to inspire the participants, and to explore the edges of what we believe we know. 

​

During that stretch, I also began crafting herbal elixirs, salves, rose petal jam and more. Another branch had been revealed for me, and my business "Wildly Crafted Woman" emerged. In February 2020, I studied at Amrit Yoga Institute and followed with advanced training to lead I Am Yoga Nidra sessions. www.wildlycraftedwoman.com

SMH is inspired by Late 90's Cartoons and all of Super Mario's worlds. It’s something like what might happen if Mr. Rogers was to spend a day at Peewee’s Playhouse.

Think "Be Here Now" meets Saturday morning cartoons and a bottomless bowl of cereal. 

SMH creates worlds in which the serious and the absurd are reconciled, where both are explored and embraced. Because that’s the only way.

I found yoga more than 20 years ago to help with depression. Over time, I found that the more I got present in my body, the more I could hear what my heart wanted. For me, the practice is not only a series of poses, but a way of living, a way of being in and for the world around me. The presence that I discovered on my mat translates to everything I do. My practice is with me as I love and take care of my family, and it’s with me as I lead and grow this amazing community. Being a yogi did not change me, but more enhanced the way I do my life. I see now, that much of my sadness that I called depression stemmed from simply not knowing who I was or why I was here. Yoga gave me my life’s work. It showed me that who I am is more than enough. Yoga taught me that each and every human has a light inside of him or her that could be wasted if not shared.  Yoga is the tool that I use to speak to my students’ hearts. It’s the tool I use to help my students find vitality for their life. I have no interest in fixing anyone, because in truth there is nothing wrong. Only what is or isn’t working for them. Our bodies have a natural rhythm. It has a built in memory system. We Humans live on a planet that has gravity. Gravity and the stress of life can get heavy. Fact is, most humans don’t like pressure. So I teach to help my students learn to relieve that pressure for themselves. I teach so I can continue to always be a student of the human spirit. I teach because I’m a seeker on a journey that never ends!

Class offering.

"simple yoga" A practice for every body to bring us to the simple structure of yoga practice.  Breathing, experiencing, witnessing and moving with a conscious and focused purpose.  This class will be offered to the body and mind in a simple and unassuming format.  We will move into the structure of yoga posture regarding our own body and it's comforts and discomforts.  We will tend to the garden of the mind while exploring our breath in postures.  We will guide ourselves into a gentle space of being fully present with what is and not what we think should be or what we have been told we are.  This is a beginners friendly class with simple purpose.  If you tend to over complicate life (or even your yoga practice), come and take a break with Simple Yoga.
