Janelle 

Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200)

My name is Janelle and I am a 200 hour certified yoga instructor through YogaFit. Since earning my 200 RYT in 2019, I have taught over 300 yoga classes at various studios and settings. I have experience teaching to a variety of audiences such as; beginners, clients who are pre/post surgery, older adults, children, active adult athletes, and to adults with disabilities. I primarily teach yoga in a vinyasa style where poses are connected via breath and organized in an intentional way to promote relaxation and prepare students for a peak pose. In one-on-one private yoga sessions I teach relaxation techniques, craft practices to client's needs and goals, and educate studios on how to deepen their yoga practice.

I am motivated to teach yoga because of its power to create relaxation, peace, healing, and transformation. Teaching others to access the calm and relaxation within themselves is deeply rewarding. My teaching style centers around establishing a safe, warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment that is supportive of each yogi's individual journey and practice. Using transformative language and modeling, I build a healthy and inviting rapport with my students. I organize all classes with focused intentions such as promoting deeper relaxation, deepening awareness, strength building, or enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness.
