Annie is a recent graduate of Sol Full Yogas 200 hr yoga teacher training. 

Jenny Meyer's love for the timeless sounds of Sanskrit began some decades ago when she first heard chanting in a yoga class. She pursued this fascination in Mysore, India, with Dr. M. A. Jayashree, and later at Columbia University.

A part-time resident at Ananda Ashram in Monroe, NY, imbibing the teachings of Shri Brahmanada Saraswati with Bharati E Balmes, Jenny has been a regular attendee at the summer Sanskrit workshops of eminent Professor R K Sharma.

Chanting the sounds of Sanskrit creates 'grooves' in our consciousness, enabling us to recall at will a verse or mantra -- akin to those song lyrics or ad jingles unintentionally memorized years ago. The difference is, Sanskrit seems to 're-pattern' our brains, connecting us to our calm and steady selves.

Jenny lives in Manhattan with her cat Mipi.
