Janaki
has practiced classical Hatha, Ashtanga, and Iyengar Yoga for many years.
She has studied with a number of teachers including David Swenson and Frances
Houlahan. She now teaches a holistic style of Yoga, drawing on her wide knowledge
and experience.
Janakiês classes are for all levels and are adaptable for complete beginners. Students are encouraged to work at their own pace and to go further as their minds and bodies allow. Pregnant women and those with disabilities are welcome, with alternative postures (asanas) taught where appropriate.
Each class begins with relaxation/ visualization, warm up stretching exercises, and breathing exercises; progressing through the various yoga asanas to stretch and tone the body systematically before a final relaxation session. Emphasis is given throughout the class on the remedial benefits of Yoga for the mind and body, with simple explanations as to how a particular asana can affect or remedy a health problem.
Janaki graduated as a Yoga Siromani, Teacher of Yoga, at the Sivananda Vedanta Ashram, in Kerala, Southern India. Whilst on the Ashram, she studied the Yoga Asanas (postures) to an advanced level and their physiological effects on the mind and body. She also studied Meditation, Sanskrit and Sanskrit chanting, the Bhagavad Gita, and the philosophy of yoga. She was given the spiritual name of Janaki by the Swamis on the Ashram and now adopts this as her teaching name.
She places great emphasis on Yogic breathing (pranayama) and on Relaxation
(savasana), which together with the yoga postures, help focus and calm the
mind, rejuvenate the body and reclaim the flexibility that can be lost due
to our lifestyles and age.
Janaki teaches yoga at many health clubs and gyms in London and Brighton. She can also bring yoga to your home or office ¾on a 1 to 1 basis or for small groups. See her current schedule below:
