Hi I'm Jane (the one outside of the hot tub!) and I've been practising yoga EXTRA COPY, EXTRA COPY, EXTRA COPY

Jane began practicing yoga in 2013 to help ease long standing lower back pain. As a former dancer, Jane was extremely flexible so used the yoga postures to build muscular strength and improve postural alignment. Jane trained to be a yoga teacher in 2015 in Thailand.  After falling in love with teaching yoga Jane went on to qualify in Thai Yoga Massage in 2017 and Yin Yoga in 2018. Jane is also trained in Yoga for Trauma; her classes are friendly, welcoming and trauma sensitive.
