Jennifer Taylor has dedicated her life to spiritual development and to serving others on their spiritual quest. Jennifer offers her services in Ayurveda, Acupressure and Reiki.

Her early years in ballet and gymnastics prepared Jennifer for a natural transition during her 20s into teaching yoga in Northern California for many years. Jennifer’s teaching style is influenced by Iyengar, Hatha, Yin/Yang, Ashtanga & Shadow yoga. It was during her Yoga Teacher’s Certification in Canada, where she was introduced to basic Ayurvedic concepts.

Shortly thereafter she left her corporate life and went to study and experience an Ayurvedic detoxification process called Pancha Karma in the Keralas (India). It was only a short 3 days into the program that she was touched by the deep resonance of this healing system and knew that she would go back home to study it formally. Jennifer received her certification from The California College of Ayurveda (CCA), as a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, and the American Institute of Vedic Studies. Jennifer completed her Pancha Karma Therapist certification after studying with Dr. Sarita Shrestha of Nepal at Mount Madonna and with Ragaia Belovarac, former Director of CCA’s Ayurvedic Body Therapy Program. She has studied Ayurveda in Southern India, Kathmandu & Baktapur, Nepal.

While at CCA, Jennifer met her spiritual teacher ~ Swami Khecaranatha of the Nityananda lineage. A year later she was asked to start her gurukula under him. She now teaches kundalini meditation and hatha yoga asana at Sacred Space Yoga Sanctuary/Rudramandir where she also helps to coordinate the Healing Arts, Presenting Arts and Weekly Yoga Programs.

Jennifer lives in Berkeley, CA where she is dabbles in rock climbing, tango dancing, and Vedic Astrology as a hobby. Jennifer feels that bringing people into awareness through the natural rhythms of nature (Ayurveda), and tonifying/purifying the body/mind through asana allows her to share love and light with each person through her journey of life.
