Many years ago, running around campus on Friday afternoons to burn off the stress of a week of classes, Jeanne Ann observed the magical power of physical movement to shift her inner experience in a positive direction. She's been fascinated with the mysterious integrity of our mind/body experience ever since, and moved to New England in 1982 to practice, live and work at Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts. She also graduated from the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland in 1990, and currently maintains a practice in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine here in Concord.

She began her yoga journey in the early 70s with the PBS TV program "Lilias! Yoga and You," and took her first in-person yoga class over 25 years ago. She maintained a very committed and beneficial but basically uninspired daily practice for years--until 2002, when she took an incredibly fun and uplifting Anusara Yoga workshop with John Friend and was inspired to undertake her yoga practice much more wholeheartedly.

Now a graduate of Todd Norian's Anusara Yoga Teacher Training, Jeanne Ann is continually amazed by the power of yoga to not only foster physical well-being, but also to empower and bring about greater inner freedom and joy. She has a particular interest in therapeutics and enjoys helping students find ways to work with injuries and find new ease, comfort and delight in their bodies.

Jeanne Ann is an authorized Anusara Inspired Teacher and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with Yoga Alliance. She is grateful to the Living Yoga teachers and students for the opportunity to teach in such an uplifting environment, to the Anusara kula for inspiration and support, and to all her teachers, mentors and students, as well as the many individuals, past and present, who have provided inspiration, guidance and companionship along the way.
