Healing through yoga is an inner journey.
One that transforms how we view our illness from an obstacle to an opportunity for growth.
EVERY STEP FORWARD IS YOGA.
As you move forward one step the next step is revealed, opening you up to new unforeseen possibilities. Suddenly you may find that your relationship with your illness has changed. You no longer associate your illness with suffering.
"Suffering is the path to self-discovery."
~~Swarawathi Vasudevan, C-IAYT
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
As an ultra runner, my body and diet take a beating during my training season. I sought Janet's help to reset my nutrition and muscle balance during my early season. She was able to help get me back on track by getting me back in the kitchen and being mindful of what I was consuming. As a result, I was able to drop 10 pounds. I also struggle with lower back pain and flexibility issues. Janet worked with me on a joint routine and basic yoga movements to help me with core strength, flexibility and range of motion. These routines have now become a part of my daily routine which not only help my running but also helps my focus at work.
BRIAN SHOTOLA
After having minor back surgery a chiropractor referred me to Janet. I needed to strengthen my core but I knew I wouldn’t fit in a group class at that point. Janet specialized my yoga program to what I needed. She is caring and listens to what I need. I enjoy my time with her and will continue to see her as needed in the future.
DAWN TRAUB
I love working with Janet. I have learned so much; yoga, breath work, mudras and creating a new relationship with food that emphasizes listening to my body. It has been a wonderful journey. I am grateful for her compassionate, encouraging, and individualized approach.

Due to an illness, I became physically immobile for close to 6 months. Working with Janet has helped me regain my mobility and improve my state of mind.

It's somewhat difficult to remember how I felt about my body a few short years ago. I had poor range of motion. I was not maximizing my breath. I had achy joints every morning when getting out of bed. Working with Janet in the art and science of yoga has taught me how to move and breathe. If I had not received Janet's personal attention and started practing yoga, I am certain I would still be stuck. Janet's talents lie in her teaching style. All her yogis learn to "feel" into a pose. I have learned to listen to my body, to breathe deeply, to appreciate that yoga is much more than simply getting into a pose or looking a certain way. Being able to move effectively and breathe efficiently with "whole body movements" moved positive energy to my brain, and as a result, I believe, carries over into other exercise modalities, not to mention additional ease in my daily movements. After 3 years of a regular yoga practice, my posture has improved, I am breathing more deeply, I am more flexible and can stand for greater lengthens of time and walk further distances without discomfort. I can even compete against much younger women in Pilates class. At almost 75 years of age, I feel and look better than I did 10 years or even 15 years ago! I am forever grateful that Janet is in my life.
