Jennifer Vafakos

Through fortuitous events she stepped into her first yoga class on the lower east side at Bhava Community Center almost 10 yrs ago and fell in love with the sweaty and energetic vibe – not her mother’s yoga or her classical ballet background but much more...  After a painful and prolonged diagnosis and treatment for endometriosis she learned how yoga could help to heal ongoing physical pain. She looks to inject healing, laughter, playfulness and fun into her practice and classes. “Yoga is a practice but it is also a way of life.” Today she continues to learn and has completed more than 500hrs of training with her inspirational family at Laughing Lotus as well as Baron Baptiste.  She is blessed by all her fabulous teachers in and around New York City.
