Jane has been an avid sports enthusiast for most of her life.  With a passion for running, she has completed the London Marathon six times as well as countless 5k, 10k and half marathons.  She has experienced, first-hand, the benefits yoga can bring to her performance with improvements in strength, pace and endurance.  The most noticeable difference has been the end to a string of running injuries since incorporating a regular yoga practice into her training regime.

Jane has been practicing yoga since 2001 and qualified as a teacher in October 2013.  She is accredited through both the Yoga Alliance (RYS-200) and the British Wheel of Yoga, studying under Elena Voyce of Teach Yoga Limited.  She recently received her certification as a Yoga Sports Coach™ with The Institute of Yoga Sports Science® (YSS).  YSS actively researches the efficacy of how yoga works in sport, offering a certification course to qualified professionals where they learn the methodology and evidence-based sports-specific techniques that have been helping athletes improve their performance since its formation in 2009. The YSS method works with athletes to target specific individual or team objectives, whether they be aimed at preventing or assisting recovery from injury or enhancing specific performance goals.

Jane currently lives and teaches in London.  Each of her sessions are planned with a logic to prepare and open the body gradually towards a peak posture or sequence, training the students to use their breath to lead their movement.  She takes time to offer something for all levels from beginner to the more experienced. She encourages students to challenge themselves, whether that means developing a more physical practice or challenging the more competitive students to be gentler with themselves.  Jane has a great sense of fun and brings a playful element to her teaching. Jane also co-hosts a yoga retreat in Spain every June for those students wanting to explore the wider aspects of yoga.
