Jennifer (Brown) Witt

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs (Warrenville/Naperville area) and worked in the fast-paced city of Chicago for 10 years. It was exhausting! In 2010 I moved to Milwaukee, fell in love with the “laid-back” Wisconsin lifestyle, and the rest is history! I have a career in Mutual Fund Administration and completed my MBA in 2014. I find my happy place on my mat after enduring long days at the office. I am grateful to have found yoga to balance the many stresses that I, like many, face on a day to day basis. I have always been active, with a particular love for gymnastics. I was amazed when I attended my first HOT power yoga class and learned about the playful and invigorating side to yoga. After becoming addicted to HOT yoga I knew opening my own studio was the right endeavor for me. I am extremely grateful and humbled to have had the opportunity to offer the Tosa community its first HOT yoga studio along with a slew of incredible instructors. I am always eager to watch  others transform, as I did, mind, body & spirit. Namaste.

Ellen Joppe

RYT 200. I am a retired division one athlete and I started my yoga journey in college when my teammates would take yoga classes in between soccer practices. While having a competitive mindset, I started to increase my yoga practice and I strictly saw it as a posture-based activity. After college, I started to explore the practice of yoga even further. I realized that there was so much more involved in yoga than just the posture.  As I grew deeper into my practice, I found internal happiness, mental clarity, and personal growth. I continue to step on my mat as an outlet to relieve stress and as a source of therapy. I completed my 200 hour certification under Jessica and Al Noche from Kramas Yoga in Madison. I hope to inspire other yogis to find personal happiness and growth, and become the best version of themselves!

Emily Zens

Real Estate Broker by day, Yogini by night! Emily has over a decade of practice under her belt and has been called to teach various styles of yoga over the past five years. With an affinity for vinyasa flow and all levels of moving meditation; her goal is to help students experience bliss and divine play. Holding space and creating unity. The opportunity to teach arose from what she refers to as the “silver lining”. Some unexpected down time resulting from an injury gave her the chance to study and sharpen her craft. As an instructor she is able to share her love of the practice with remarkable people and allow them the chance to work out while working in. Teaching is an art, yoga is everything, all the feels!

Analisia White

Analisia fell in love with yoga in 2018 after needing a safe space to process life’s stresses. She became certified in 2019 so she could share this peace she found with others. She believes that yoga is a healthy alternative to cope with traumas and hopes to create that same safe space for her students. Analisia relocated to Wisconsin in April of 2020 for her job with Kohl’s Corporate Office. During the pandemic she worked on growing her Yoga knowledge further with her 300hr certification. She believes yoga is so much more than moving your body. It is finding that spot of comfort in discomfort, and in doing so, finding that same peace outside of the yoga studio. Analisia like to use yoga as a form of therapy. All levels can reach that space as long as the student is ready and willing.

Susan Keefe

I have always been passionate about health and wellness and instantly fell in love with yoga since day one. I began practicing yoga in 2013 as a step toward self-love. With only the intention to deepen my practice, I enrolled in the 200-hour yoga teacher training through Satya Life School of Yoga in September 2019. I soon realized I wanted to share the healing power of yoga and the mind-body connection to others. In addition to teaching at Get Hot Yoga, I am currently working on my 500-hour teacher training through Yoga Renew.

Personally, yoga is about the balance between strength and flexibility, focus and breath. My classes combine strength and mobility work in a dynamic, challenging vinyasa flow style. I love it when the gifts we have learned on the mat are taken and incorporated outside of the studio and into our lives.

I am endlessly grateful to all of the teachers who have guided me to a better understanding of yoga, and I am honored to share this gift of knowledge with others. I will always be a student of the practice and am deeply grateful for the loving wisdom my teachers have shared with me.

When not on the mat, I am traveling or working as a licensed esthetician of 16 years and own a day spa in Brookfield.

Cori Skaarnes

RYT 200. I have participated in competitive sports my entire life and am always looking for a new way to challenge myself. Initially, I was drawn to yoga as a form of exercise but I quickly realized how challenging yoga was, both physically and mentally. I started practicing yoga in 2014 and slowly started to realize that I always felt happier and content after attending a yoga class. Yoga started to become something that I looked forward to every single day, on the good and the bad days. I noticed how much this practice was changing my entire life when I finally realized that I didn’t just WANT to go to yoga, I NEEDED to go to yoga. The combination of the physical practice and mental clarity that yoga provides to me is what keeps me coming back to my mat for more. I completed my 200 hour certification under Kate Hawthorne through Satya Life School of Yoga in 2019. I hope to share my love of yoga by guiding students through their own personal yoga journey.
