With a long-held interest in teaching, she earned a Bachelors degree in Special Education from New York University, and a Masters in Learning Disabilities from Teachers College, Columbia University. Jodi spent six years in the elementary classroom, teaching children with special needs. Her enthusiasm towards yoga with children evolved when studying with her first teacher, Sonia Sumar of Yoga for the Special Child™.

In 1998, Jodi founded Next Generation Yoga; the first children’s yoga studio in the world. Jodi’s warm-hearted, playful style of teaching is inspired both by her personal yoga interests and practical experiences in the field of education.

In addition, she teaches and certifies children’s yoga instructors from all over the world in NGY Teacher Trainings™.
