Jennifer Munyer brings her ten plus years of experience in yoga therapy and mental health to offer individual counseling and group therapy as well as continuing education for yoga therapists. Her work supports clients and practitioners in deepening their connection to self, which supports clients and practitioners alike grow. Her interest is in the practical application of yoga philosophy as it pertains to both self care and client care.
