July 22 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
I came to yoga in 1991 when I was fortunate to discover the Bury and the Yoga for Health Foundation.
Jane has used yoga as a journey of self-discovery and healing since her university days at Reading, practising with a wide variety of teachers. She has been teaching since 1988 and is passionate about including all aspects of yoga and ancient wisdom in ways accessible to everyone and every body.
She believes that her students are her greatest teachers and that she can learn from each and every one of them by observing and listening. She believes the cornerstone of yoga is ‘awareness’ and that applying this throughout practice and life we can change our physiology and thinking mind for the better.
Key influences on my practice are Satyananda Yoga, Structural and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy, Vinyasa, Yin, and Mindfulness. Jane has trained dozens of yoga teachers, taught BWY Foundation Courses in Yorkshire since 2004, offers other in-depth independent study, workshops, yoga retreats, yoga holidays and since 2020 online learning.
For many years Jane regularly visited India as part of her personal journey, staying in ashrams and attended the awe inspiring 2001 Kumbh Mela at Allahabad. She received her spiritual name, Jayadhara, in 1996 at the Bihar School of Yoga, Munger. She feels that she is able to draw on many of these experiences to enhance her teaching and bring the ancient yoga traditions to life.
NOTE: The pace will be slow in order to allow time for experiential awareness. You will need your usual kit plus a firm chair, blocks, cushions. If possible, be near a wall or door (not essential).
