JAN

Jan began practicing yoga in 2008 during a time of stress, while navigating her parent’s health challenges and a demanding career. What she found on the mat was more than relaxation—it was a sense of steadiness she could carry into everyday life. That experience continues to shape how she teaches today.

She is an experienced yoga teacher (E-RYT 200, RYT 300) and a yoga therapist, and has been teaching since 2015. She completed her 200-hour teacher training at The Yoga Room in Round Rock, where she was introduced to a therapeutic Hatha approach that continues to influence her teaching.

Jan’s classes offer support for feeling more steady, confident, and at ease in the body. Using a gentle, therapeutic approach, she invites students to explore how the body naturally organizes for movement and balance, rather than trying to force stability through effort.

She especially enjoys supporting healthy aging, and working with students who may feel unsteady, are navigating changes in strength or mobility, or simply want to move with more ease in daily life. Her classes often blend awareness, breath, functional movement, and restorative practices to support both movement and rest.

Jan has studied extensively with Judith Hanson Lasater and continues to be inspired by teachers who emphasize clarity, compassion, and working with the body rather than against it.

Her classes are welcoming, supportive, and grounded in the belief that the body is capable of change at any age.

Jan lives near Round Rock, Texas and enjoys good chocolate, spending time with her husband, and their spirited Doberman–cattle dog rescue.
