http://www.opposingviews.com/users/jenny-everett-king The coordinator of Healing Hands Chiropractic’s Body-Mind Wellness program, Jenny Everett King believes strongly in the value of holistic health practices. Her faith in the power of the mind-body connection is the core of her approach to both yoga and childbirth classes. Jenny graduated magna cum laude from Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies in the Great Books. Soon after college, she moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she studied Iyengar yoga intensively under Sara Azarius and several other prominent teachers in the Iyengar system, including Lois Steinberg and Manouso Manos. The Iyengar system of yoga is known for its attention to musculoskeletal alignment and an emphasis on understanding bodily structure and function. Jenny’s classes today are strongly influenced by this training, but also incorporate elements of more flowing yoga styles, including Ashtanga and Kripalu. Jenny is an ExpertRating Certified Yoga Teacher at the Expert level, and continues to study various hatha yoga styles and practices. She is a member of the International Yoga Association, as well as the Manchester Young Professionals Network and the Southern New Hampshire Women’s Business Network. Jenny and her husband have two young children, both born naturally with midwives attending. Jenny has used her twin passions for yoga and holistic family wellness to develop Healing Hands Chiropractic’s childbirth education series, Empowered Birth. http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/what-s-the-best-style-of-yoga Ashtanga, Jivamukti, Kundalini.
