Janice has been an integral part of the Ottawa yoga community for over 20 years, bringing decades of experience, study, teaching and mentorship to her work. Throughout her career, she has travelled internationally teaching movement, fitness and yoga, and has returned to Ottawa over the years to lead Teacher Trainings, workshops and classes.
A dedicated lifelong student and teacher, Janice has completed five Teacher Trainings with renowned teacher Richard Freeman, experiences that have had a profound influence on and inspired her teaching. She also had the opportunity to study with Pattabhi Jois during his visit to Canada. Her practice extends beyond asana, with a special connection to meditation developed through her studies at the Shambhala Center in Boulder, Colorado.
Janice is honoured to be part of the PranaShanti Yoga Centre faculty for both the Summer and Fall 200-Hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training programs. She also contributes to the 300-Hour Teacher Training program through workshops that provide students with opportunities to deepen their knowledge and earn continuing education credits.
An integral part of the PranaShanti community, Janice is also a key teacher in the monthly Foundations class, helping students build confidence, establish a strong foundation in their practice and, importantly, find their way back onto the mat—or discover yoga for the first time. She also teaches weekly classes at PranaShanti.
Janice teaches from the heart, creating an environment where students feel comfortable, supported and inspired to follow their own path. After more than two decades of teaching, she continues to study, grow, meditate and share her experience with the next generation of yoga teachers.
Janice looks forward to seeing you on the mat soon!
