Jackie Wolff is a theater artist, special education specialist and yoga instructor with over 1000 hours of certified trainings. Jackie first discovered yoga in 1995 when she spent part of her summer living at Sivananda Ashram in Woodbourne NY and it has been an integral aspect of her life ever since. Jackie received her 200 hr training in vinyasa yoga at Laughing Lotus Yoga Center and found herself struggling to understand and retain the anatomy portion of her training. It was recommended to her by a friend to study with Alison West at Yoga Union. Jackie quickly learned that an embodied approach to anatomy was a profound learning tool for her. She completed the back care training at Yoga Union, as well as additional trainings in yoga for trauma resolution, the Yoga Tune Up certification using myofascial release through therapy balls, and prenatal yoga with Mia Borgatta. She is currently part of the Samyamkaya Advanced Studies in Yoga Therapy. She continues to study yoga for back care and scoliosis with Deborah Wolk and regularly assists Deborah’s classes.
