Meet Janet

Yoga Teacher

Mom, Yogi, Teacher, Business Owner ~ I am a yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, and forever student. I love all things yoga and people and believe life is easier if you simply slow down.

As an 800hr Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher, I aim to lead classes that are inclusive, inventive and inspiring. You can expect alignment-based flows and nourishing yin practices infused with relatable wisdom from my experience as a yogi, teacher and now mama. And sometimes I dose out a bit of tough love! My hope is for you to love yourself where you are at and empower you to make the changes you want to live your most aligned and vibrant life.

When I’m not hanging out with my daughter Gigi and Labrador Tony, you can find me leading yoga retreats all over the world. From my love of yoga, people and travel, I co-founded Nectar, an international yoga retreats company. I love witnessing students rediscover their zest for life through travel and yoga. I can’t wait to connect with you on and off the mat!
