Jackie's Bio

Jackie Tepper is a Registered Yoga Teacher certified in Kundalini Yoga and has been teaching Kundalini Yoga, Neshama Yoga ^TM and meditation since 2006.  Jackie studied under the internationally-renowned Kundalini Yoga masters Ravi Singh and Ana Brett. Jackie is also certified in Radiant Child Yoga, having studied under its creator, Shakta Kaur Khalsa.

Jackie, a former lawyer, began practicing Kundalini Yoga at a time when her physical, emotional and spiritual health were severely compromised.  She quickly experienced many significant healing benefits of Kundalini Yoga and credits it with being a major factor in her transformation to a much healthier and happier being.

During her first experience with Kundalini Yoga, Jackie knew immediately that there was a deep connection between Kundalini Yoga, Kabbalah and Jewish spirituality.  Over the past several years, she has explored these connections from both yogic and Jewish traditions.  From this personal journey, Neshama Yoga ^T M was born.

To deepen her own learning and bring more knowledge to her students, Jackie recently completed her Master of Jewish Liberal Studies from Hebrew College, in Newton Center, Massachusetts.  Jackie's thesis was on the evolution of Jewish meditation in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Jackie lives in Stamford, CT. In addition to her yoga practice, Jackie is trained in Healing Touch (Level 3), a form of energetic healing. In her spare time, she loves to hike, play tennis, read and spend time with her family.
