Yoga, an ancient discipline that has its roots in India thousands of years ago, is becoming increasingly popular today because its teachings and practices afford students a way to relieve stress, cultivate optimal health and achieve harmony within themselves and in their environment. Practitioners of Yoga enjoy increased strength and flexibility of their bodies and calmness in their mind and spirit.

A practitioner of yoga for over 30 years, Jan has been teaching Yoga since 2001. A Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance, having completed their 200 hour training program, Jan has diversified her training and experience with additional studies of yoga, aromatherapy, and natural health with many different instructors. Jan consistently pursues continuing education in yoga and related fields, attending a variety of workshops and conferences, including the Omega conferences in New York and Florida. Jan’s aromatherapy article, “Scent-imentally Summer,” was recently published in South Jersey Magazine.

Yoga, besides a sound foundation for over-all health and well being, can help to ease specific health concerns, as well as prepare your body for various sports and activities. Jan can customize a practice to address specific needs and has taught specially designed classes including Yoga for Gardening, for Running and Walking, for Bicycling and for Golf, and body toning. Besides teaching public and private classes, Jan has been contracted to teach at conferences and classes by many groups, ranging from the New Jersey National Guard to the Mid-Atlantic Conference of Court Managers. She has taught all ages from children to senior citizens, men and women, and can customize a practice to meet the needs and interests of her students.
