What I OFFER
PRACTICES FOR MINDFUL REST & PLAY
Hello, it’s nice to meet you, I’m Janessa.(she/her)
I believe in intentional rest and play as a vital source of connection to self and others. I pair wisdom practices like Yoga with modern resources to create opportunity for self acceptance and growth. With over 1,000 hours of teaching experience, I share from a space of curiosity and openness, knowing that wellbeing practices look different for everyone. My goal is to create a heartfelt experience where you can practice authentically within the support of my offerings. As a forever student, I’m always expanding my understanding of yoga traditions or holistic practices and have over 300 certified hours. When not in the studio with you, I’m out in the woods admiring trees with the dog or reading with the cats I belong to.
