She is also a Certified Reiki Master and does many forms of energy work. 

Janet's passion as a teacher is to inspire her students to become confident, self-loving and to tap into their inner strength, wisdom discovering the poses from inside rather than force them from the outside. She focuses on the breath to move into the subtle body in order to really feel the poses and their effects and after-effects on the body, mind, and spirit. Her classes are deeply relaxing, joyful and fun.

Janet teaches Vinyasa, Yin & Restorative Yoga, Ayurvedic Cooking Classes and Sanskrit.
