I was fortunate to find out about a yoga class on line with Jen Kraft thanks to my daughters. Being retired and a lot older than the other women in the class, I was scared to death. I had never actually taken a "real" yoga class. Jen made me feel comfortable (she made everyone comfortable) and I cannot tell you how much better I felt after every class. This was the best thing to happen to me during this pandemic. Thanks Jen!

I have been so lucky to take online classes with BoPo since quarantine began and they are literally the best yoga I've taken in my 15+ years of taking in person and online classes. They truly work with every person and make the class challenging throughout no matter your physical or mental situation. Most recently I've taken Jen Kraft's series for beginners and beyond and I was convinced I would not feel like I had had a physical work out after the class given I was taking it - and I was so wrong. Not only that, the time flew by, I learned new things, and Jen's way of speaking was enlightening and inspiring without being "too corny" for my eastern / western / judgy mind. THANK YOU!

The silver lining of social distancing during this pandemic has been the opportunity to join Jen's yoga classes via Zoom, since I live out of state. Her words are inspiring, she is tuned in to every single participant in class, and is amazing at suggesting different options and adaptations for each person depending on his/her needs. This is yoga for people who love yoga and for people who haven't loved yoga before. Thank you, Jen, for sharing your expertise!!

I've been taking yoga classes for years yet taking Jen's class taught me so many new foundations for my practice. Jen embraces the differences in each of our bodies and is able to clearly explain how to make adjustments to get the most out of each movement (I have a whole new take on side angle and sphinx poses that feel so good for my body). Jen makes the class accessible to people of all levels at the same time (honestly, my mother, may daughter and I could take the same class and all benefit from it) but she can also tailor an individualized class to target a certain need. Jen is extremely humble in how she teaches - her down to earth but high energy personality is a perfect complement to how she instructs.

I am 14 years old and I loved Jen's class. She taught me the basics of yoga poses with so many "options". I stopped worrying if I was doing it "right" because Jen is so encouraging that there are lots of ways to do a pose - you want to do what feels good to you. I felt so grounded after taking the class.

Cannot say enough about Body Positive Works & Jen Kraft. Had the pleasure of taking her Beginner & Beyond Yoga Series and the way she shares this practice with you is so refreshing! You focus on how YOU are feeling and exploring what works best for YOU. A silver lining to this current quarantine craziness bc we can all partake from our own homes! Thanks!

Fondly called "BoPo" this studio has a charming and cozy atmosphere. Very welcoming to everyBODY! They believe and demonstrate that everyone can "do" yoga! It is so not about getting your body into a pose but making the pose fit your body....they have diverse classes, events and services for all including for those in recovery from process and substance dependence, trauma and eating disorders...ALL are welcome and encouraged to come and enjoy some self exploration and discovery. Jen & Melanie are warm and gracious proprietors.

I love the Yin/Yang class at BOPO! My body and mind just melts and unravels as Jen Kraft our instructor guides us into a deep a stretch and relaxation. The massage therapist I use at BOPO is amazing. I feel like she knows exactly what body needs and works on areas I didn’t even realize were in need of attention! The energy of the staff is warm, welcoming and healing❤️. It is truly a wonderful place!!
