New! Spinal Intelligence: The Science of Movement, Awareness, and Connection in the Human Body
Available in Ebook & Paperback
Your spine is not a problem to be fixed. It's an intelligence to be cultivated.
For decades, we've been told to stabilize our cores, correct our posture, and protect our spines from movement. The result? More disconnection, more self-doubt, and a deep mistrust of our own bodies.
Spinal Intelligence offers a different way.
Drawing on movement science, stress physiology, and more than two decades of working with real people, Jenn reveals how the spine doesn't just support movement — it participates in it, initiates it, and responds to the full complexity of our lives.
Through accessible concepts and hands-on practices, you'll explore how stress, sleep, breath, and awareness all shape the way your body moves. You'll build what Jenn calls durability — not rigidity, but the capacity to absorb life's inevitable challenges and return to center.
This book is for anyone who wants to feel more connected to their body, move more freely, and finally come home to the center of themselves.
The spine isn't fragile. Neither are you.

The Science of Movement, Exercise, and Mental Health
Jennifer Pilotti's latest book explores the science at the intersection of movement and mental health. It encourages readers to consider in greater detail the way exercise impacts the nervous system, and how it influences the ability to sense, feel and perceive the internal and external world.

From Yoga and Tai Chi to dance teaching and personal training, the coaching guidance provided can also help therapists of all kinds think about the use of language, potential roadblocks and exercise interventions and programming in new ways.
By examining key topics including aerobic exercise, resistance training and restorative movement, this book is a valuable resource for all kinds of practitioners looking for inventive ways to help their clients achieve physical and emotional balance.
