She practiced first with a Hatha yoga instructor from City
college in San Francisco. In 1996, she moved back to Worcester
and met Ann Bisanti, a loving and skilled Iyengar teach who
opened her heart, mind and body to the joy of yoga. She fell in
love with the practice and took as many classes as possible in
and around Worcester and Boston. She practiced Kundalini,
Iyengar and Kripalu yoga. By the summer of 1998, after opening
and partnering in a small cafe business, Jen knew that teaching
yoga was her hearts longing. She sold her half of the cafe, to
pay for teacher training.
Her first students were her

with Fern Lee at Wellness works in Worcester. While teaching at
Wellness Works, she met and formed a tight bond with Julie
Roberts. In 2004 she helped Julie to establish Flowforms Yoga.
After much encouragement, Jen was first introduced to Anusara
Yoga in June 2001, with a weekend of amazing yoga with Suzie
Hurley. She was immediately transformed and at home with
Anusara. In September 2001 Jen met her teacher Deb
Neubauer at Deb's studio in North Hampton. Since then, Jen has
studied with Deb as much as possible. She has been thru several
teacher trainings and countless classes and workshops. Jen has
also had the opportunity to have teacher training with John

poses, answer questions, explore new ways to do things, and
celebrate achievements. The dancer in Jozie loves to play and have
fun. In a Kripalu yoga class with Jozie you can expect to do all of
