Timmy’s yoga journey started in 2017, after a lifetime of being told to attempt the practice and read the books. But he didn’t delve in until he met a teacher named Jennifer Albert. And finally, after taking his first class, he knew yoga was going to be for him.

Where We Are

Since the beginning, his practice has been daily at home and at the studio, on and off the mat, indoor and outdoor. Through yoga he has found more stillness, more acceptance, and more will power to overcome and fight through obstacles he feels he would not have been able to overcome otherwise. Not just by flowing through the asanas, or postures, but by reading the texts, learning and expanding. Seeing, that yoga is so much more than physical, but equal parts mental and spiritual, speaking in ways that he has always thought similarly about.

Where we are going

They call yoga, the eternal practice, and with an ever evolving anatomy study, changing times, ad popularity it continues to adapt to the current generation and location. Timmy see’s himself continuing the practice, to read, and now with his iFlow school of yoga’s 200 hour teacher training, he will be able to spread the practice to countless others and help instill the same feelings in them that are instilled in him daily through the practice of yoga.

Jennifer Major, graduated from Douglass College of Rutgers University,New Brunswick in 2001.
Graduating with a degree in History after having to change her major from dance after an injury
while in School. This injury was part of the thrust into the healing world. Already having some
education in the herbal world , through Terry of Terry Teas of succasunna NJ, a whole herbal
world opened up. More and more knowledge was acquired while being self led as well as taught
by mentors and educators. Her education included correspondence classes through Clayton
College Of Natural Health, where she was familiarized with many notable and well known herbal
educators, including one of her favorites Rosemary Gladstar whom has left a lasting impression
on her style of herbal work. In a time where resources were not sought out on the internet she
was mainly educated by the many workshops she attended just for fun. Out of need and
necessity she started to create er own line of cosmetics. Having a very sensitive constitution,
she was plagued by the side effects of commercial lines. There was really nothing on the
market mainstream that could be considered natural about twenty years ago. Having rash after
rash and many other skin issues , Jennifer decided to learn how to make her own creams and
products and find suitable alternatives. This threw her into the world of cosmetics and nothing
would ever be the same. Studying Nina Falconi’s recipes , and recreating them gave her the
basis of many of her formulations. After years of adding her own twists and tweaks we now
have her signature Be True Face cream, which is a favorite among many loyal users including
her peers whom are themselves organic body care manufacturers.
Along the way Jennifer expanded her healing to body and movement.She started
studying massage therapy , again an injury to her hand led her to take a short sabbatical and
she focused on the healing art of Reiki and yoga .It was in Reiki that she learned to help heal
her body. She currently is a level II Reiki practitioner for over 15 years . Jennifer graduated
from a 200 hr yoga teacher program from The American yoga Academy, created by Claire Diab
creator of the yoga program for Deepak Chopra at the Chopra Center. Having done the work to
heal her body again, she returned back to school and graduated in 2008 From Dover business
College with a 828 hour Certificate in Massage. Her love of healing and helping others to find a
way to heal , mind body and soul has never stopped. And for over ten years has had the
blessing of being there for others along their own healing journeys.
Her love of agriculture and growing many of the botanicals in her preparations led her to
farming more professionally. She leased a piece of land off a farmer in Andover to grow
organically, for a few years. she has been a student of NOFA (North East Farming Association)
She was able to attend their WInter Conference and was gifted with a scholarship for their
conferences and their beginning Farmer Program. It his here that she started to really see how
she could combine all of her interests into one and create a plan for the future which is slowly
now unfolding every day. Her company All Things Good is ever changing an evolving.
