Jennifer Kurdyla & Sierra Alea

Teaches at Three Jewels

Jennifer Kurdyla is a mover, creator, and vata-pitta dosha. Growing up in the dance world, she came to yoga over ten years ago and has made it her life’s work to channel the grace, play, and agility of this sacred movement practice through her teaching. She has over 500 hours of training in vinyasa, restorative, and therapeutic modalities, and weaves together her wide range of yogic studies from biomechanics to philosophy and everything in between. Her practice focuses on finding balance and strength on and off the mat, and she encourages students to translate the ways that we challenge our bodies in asana in order to release into relaxation in the real world. With an emphasis on clear alignment, breath, and Ayurvedic principles, her sequences are dynamic, empowering, and above all joyful.

Sierra Alea is a 500 E-RYT yoga teacher, assistant teacher trainer at YogaWorks in NYC, and guest teacher at Three Jewels. Her passion lies in exploring movement and breath within her body, while cultivating connectedness within her community. Sierra's focus is on the nervous system and the relaxation response. Her movement classes are playful, full of exploration, balance, and kindness. Her restorative classes are nourishing, deep, and rejuvenating.
