Janne (pronounced Yanna) is a senior teacher at Innerlight Center for Yoga, co-director and co-developer of the Innerlight Yoga Teacher Training program, and a yoga teacher for the Newport Hospital Enough Is Enough program. She is a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 200 with 1000 hours of teaching experience. Her training includes a 500-hour course at Innerlight (1998) and a 400-hour Anusara-based course with Todd Norian (2003). She has assisted in many programs at Kripalu and elsewhere, including Introduction to Yoga and Meditation, Rebalancing Body, Mind and Spirit, Ashtanga Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Chakra Yoga, Partner Yoga, and Snow Shoe and Yoga.

"My experience with yoga is that it is a life changing force. Yoga develops strength and flexibility, focus and confidence and a sense of connection with a spirit greater than just me. Yoga grounds me and at the same time opens possibilities. My intention in teaching is to pass that on, that sense of living life to the fullest, vibrant, strong, and open."

Janne is currently working on getting her leg behind her head, and expects that in about five lifetimes from now, she may be close.
