Who i am and what i stand for
Here's a bit about me and how I move through the world.
Maybe you'll see something that you align with.
I can't wait to meet you.
Mindfullness
Being mindful is more than awareness of what I’m doing but also why I’m doing it. Suddenly I catch myself noticing what I’m doing as I’m doing it, and intuitively know I need to make a decision. Either I live unconsciously with a fear of change or I live consciously with excitement for the unknown.
When I make each step intentional I am truly living and I can more easily co-create with the universe.
Truth
Intimately knowing my truth is probably one of the biggest obstacles I’ve come across. I’m constantly rediscovering what that means but when I live my truth I feel empowered and light, those who can best support me come into my life and contentment is a state I experience more often.
Knowing what is right for me has invited more self-love and compassion into my experiences.
Courage
I can experience anxiety, fear, sadness, and yet still keep moving towards my desires. Honouring my feelings isn’t always easy, but when I do, the courage to continue on is ignited, like a fire in my belly. My heart expands as I’m inspired by my strength and I realize more often than not I was the one holding myself back from abundance.
I will never regret the times I did what I knew was right in my heart, even if it took all of my courage.
Yoga enhances your life
I remember leaving one of my first yoga classes walking through my university town in Canada. It was the middle of winter, snow everywhere, and there I was with the biggest smile ever. I knew something had been born within me and I let it grow into: less anxiety, increased flexibility, more compassion and love, honesty, better digestion, balanced mood and processing all my stored up anger and sadness. These are just a few of the ways in which connecting to my breath and body has changed me forever.
I believe yoga has something for everyone – these are the gifts I received. Yours will be the ones you need.

”I took my first yoga class on the beach with Janine, I wasn't sure quite what to expect, but she made my first experience as comfortable and pleasant as possible. There were some poses/moves that I wasn't able to do and Janine offered modified moves so that I was able to 100% participate in the class. I would recommend Janine without hesitation, she's patient, caring, has a fantastic personality and rocks at yoga!!”

”Janine as a person in general is a unique woman with how she choses to illustrate herself and become that in which she believes in. That is what drew me to follow her movement and start attending her yoga classes. During her sessions I learnt self control, trust, awareness and that my body and mind is only limited by the limitations I create. She is very knowledgable in her craft and demonstrates this by the way she teaches and interacts with her students. It is a blessing to be apart of what she's creating. ”

”I had never practiced yoga before going to Janine's class. I had always thought that it doesn't match my personality, but from that first class I absolutely loved it. Her energy is so calming and she inspires confidence , peace and acceptance. I think she is a great teacher with so much to give. ”

``Having practiced yoga for over five years, I reached a point in my practice where I needed a more intermediate and tailored yoga practice. Janine understands the physical anatomy very well and adapts her classes to suit beginners and more advanced yogis. She is also extremely spiritually attuned and can relate to each client's emotional and spiritual needs. Janine creates a powerful, uplifting yoga practice with deep meditations and heart opening vinyasa flows. I would highly recommended Janine as a yoga instructor to yogis of all levels and interests, whether you want a physical work-out or a more spiritually awakening practice. Janine is a passionate, dedicated and highly talented Yoga teacher.``

”Janine has a wonderful calmness about her. When you take a class with her she includes you in that calmness, inspiring you to try things you didn't think you could do, but without pushing you to go too far. She somehow manages to make you feel she is giving the class just for you, and she knows just what you need! ”

”I'lll never forget the private yoga class that my partner and I took with Janine on a vacation to Grand Cayman. She was highly recommended by a friend, but we were a bit hesitant as neither of us had much experience with yoga. However, we were both glad we decided to take the class — it was one of the most regenerating, relaxing parts of our trip, right up there with laying out on Seven Mile Beach. Janine's approach is positive, encouraging yet soothing. She made us both feel instantly comfortable and gently guided us through each pose. If I'm ever back in the Cayman Islands, I won't hesitate to sign up again. ”
