Your Teacher
Jan has been a student of yoga since 1974 and has been teaching yoga since 1980. She is registered with Yoga Alliance at the highest level (E-RYT 500 and YACEP).
She first trained in the Sivananda Yoga lineage (Raja/Hatha Yoga).
Indra Deva, B.K.S. Iyengar's first female student, helped Jan develop as a teacher. Over the years, Jan has studied with Erich Schiffmann, author of Moving Into Stillness, and John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga.
Meditation is an integral part of Jan's practice and her classes. She has been a student of meditation teacher and author Sally Kempton since Sally left her order in the early 2000s
Jan’s intention is to create a personalized yoga practice for each student in a supportive, loving, non-judgemental atmosphere.
The Class
Gentle, Mindful Yoga for Every Body
Join Jan for a gentle, restorative Hatha Yoga practice that nurtures the body, calms the mind, and encourages a deeper sense of well-being. Drawing on more than four decades of teaching experience, Jan thoughtfully integrates yoga postures (asana), breathing and energy practices (pranayama), mudra, relaxation, and meditation.
Classes emphasize mindful movement, body awareness, and the connection between breath and movement. Rather than striving to achieve a particular pose, students are encouraged to explore what feels appropriate for their own bodies, abilities, and needs. Practices can be adapted to accommodate a range of experience levels and physical abilities.
Whether you are new to yoga or have practiced for years, Jan offers a welcoming, supportive environment in which to slow down, release tension, restore balance, and deepen your connection with yourself.
