About Me
Where did you grow up?
JF: I was born in Dirty Jersey. And I did most of my growing up in Maryland.
What drives you to teach yoga?
JF: I teach yoga to help people move more freely. As a Physical Therapist, I have experienced a lot of people in pain. The practice of yoga helped me overcome back pain in my life and I want others to experience movement pain free.
What are you passionate about?
JF: I am passionate about spreading understanding of anatomy and pain. I want my students to understand how they can take control of their bodies as a well to heal themselves. I am also passionate about learning more about business so that more students can experience the Bright Heart community!
What’s your favorite way to recharge outside of yoga?
JF: I like to go hiking, play tennis, or snuggle up with my cats.
What is your favorite part about teaching at Bright Heart?
JF: This amazing community of yogis. Everyone here has their own unique story, and is so open to share it with each other. I learn so much from the students at the studio.
Is there anything you would like to do or accomplish in your life that you haven’t done yet?
JF: As the owner of the studio, I would like to keep moving the vision forward of Bright Heart Yoga Studio by creating it into a wellness space. I hope to make this studio a place of healing not only for the body, but the mind as well. I hope that this Wellness Center can be the catalyst for change in how our healthcare system works!
