Awaken Your Senses: A Transformative Yoga Retreat in Sintra with Jennifer

Jennifer Chin has been teaching movement since 1990. As a dancer, she began teaching children at the local dance studio and then moved on to the professional dance world. She has taught at many of New York City’s top dance centers including The José Limón Institute, Peridance Center, and Dancespace Center. She has also taught and performed around the United States and abroad. Jennifer has been on faculty at Montclair State University, Brooklyn College, The Martha Graham School, Université du Québec á Montréal, and Toscana Dance HUB (now WADE). She has been an instructor in Humphrey-Limón technique, pilates, and yoga since 1999.

In 2003, she was introduced to the Iyengar Yoga method and began studying embodied anatomy with Genny Kapuler, all of which have greatly influenced her teaching and way of life. While getting her MFA at New York University, Jennifer was introduced to Pilates with Kathy Grant, one of the first teachers of the technique. The method helped her rehabilitate numerous dance injuries. She then taught Pilates for 8 years at Groundfloor Exercise, a studio on the Upper West Side. In January 2007, she created LUMINOUSbody, transformative health and fitness, offering private lessons in yoga and pilates. With a philosophy that starts with a foundation of anatomy, we help students achieve their wellness goals.
