Jane is a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher and is registered nationally through the Yoga Alliance at the 500-hour professional level. She has earned advanced certifications as a "prenatal yoga instructor" and, most recently, as a "Mentor" to Kripalu Yoga teachers seeking advanced training.

Movement disciplines have been a major part of Jane's life since early childhood. She has studied dance and ballet as well as martial arts. It wasn't until she experienced the loving and healing aspects of yoga in the Colorado Mountains that she found her soul's true purpose. She immediately started devoting time and energy in the development of her yoga practice. It was a natural process to extend her practice into teaching yoga since Jane's early education was directed toward supporting her teaching gifts. She has B.A. and M.A. degrees in teaching, math and French and has taught students from the elementary level through high school. In addition to raising two sons, Jane's personal interests are directed toward dance, music, language, nutrition, cooking and gardening. She enjoys nature's healing beauty by nurturing more than 50 orchid plants.

Kripalu Yoga has been the foundation for her personal yoga practice as well as her teacher training. She has also trained extensively with internationally recognized Yoga masters such as Eric Schiffmann, Gary Kraftsow, Rod Stryker, Rodney Yee, Donna Farhi, and Amrit Desai as well as many other gifted mentors in a diversity of yoga styles such as Iyengar, Viniyoga, Tantra, Anusara and Jivamuukti. Jane recently completed a Chakra yoga teacher training with Todd Norian in the Anusara style.

Jane's intention is to create a nurturing and safe environment while providing quality yoga classes that will facilitate the unfolding of the body, mind and heart of her students into the beauty of wholeness. Her compassionate style encourages and honors the discovery of each person's uniqueness as she guides them into experiences of self-awareness, acceptance and ultimate healing.

"I would like to express my appreciation to all my teachers for supporting my growth and I am grateful to my students for the opportunity to share my experience and for their gifts of presence. May blossoms of peace surround you on your journey to release any obstacles to the flow of loving energy."

Jai Bhagwan,
