REVIEWS
Julie Hanson, Director of Seasonal Yoga
“I love the way you have truly found your niche. The energy you give out and the encouragement you give is absolutely spot on to be a restorative enriching practice to anyone who is fortunate enough to discover you as a teacher. What you are giving is the yoga that everyone needs to do especially right now and you make it look effortless.”
Finding Your Balance Reviews
“I just wanted to say thank you so much for this session it was fantastic. I loved the way you explained the type of yoga you practice and about our meridians. You had me hooked and I could have listened to you all evening. The movement session was great too. You gave good simple direction and I felt in control of what I could do. I feel as if my body has been stretched out…feeling energised even though it’s after 9pm! The relaxation session was perfect and I think a few of us nodded off. I would happily attend the exact same session again and again Jane. Thanks for your hard work it was a great class and I look forward to the next one.”
“Wow! I am just so amazed at how fantastic that was tonight. I cannot thank you enough. Just amazing! I’ve never felt so at ease, I just felt like I was on a cloud! Thank you so much”

Continue reading below to find out about Jane’s journey into become a Seasonal Yoga teacher and whether her Finding Your Balance Workshops are what you are looking for.
In 2022 I undertook my Seasonal Yoga 200 hour Teacher Training. It was a year of ups and downs, a lot of soul searching and a heck of a lot of studying! I made a lifelong friend and learnt so much about myself in the process.
In 2024 I completed a year long Advanced Yoga Philosophy and Meditation course and I now bring these elements into my Finding Your Balance Workshops.
When I started to teach students as part of my training, I quickly found my niche. I can’t thank my group of willing yogis who came on my teaching journey with me and watched my confidence bloom with each class. Their feedback and support meant that I could quickly develop what it was that they needed.
Within my Complementary Therapy practice I find that clients are looking for ways to help them relax and reduce the stresses and strains of every day life. During my yoga studies I developed a yoga relaxation class where we did gentle movement, explored breathing techniques and entered deep relaxation through guided meditation and Yoga Nidra.
So what has grown from my ten week trial yoga relaxation class is ‘Finding Your Balance’. The ethos behind this is about nourishing your body, mind and spirit in a gentle, kind, loving way and allowing you to find a sense of peace and balance.
In 2023 I took my weekly classes online but found this was too much of a commitment and was feeling unable to deliver my best to my therapy and yoga clients. So I stopped these classes but I now offer in-person workshops in the local area once again. The dates for these workshops will be advertised on my website, in my monthly newsletter and also on my Facebook and Instagram pages.

What can you expect from a Finding Your Balance workshop?
Generally, we start with settling ourselves and releasing the tension from the day. At this point I usually bring in some seasonal information; as for me Seasonal Yoga is about moving, eating and being with the season. If you would like to read the talk that I did for my final exam on What is Seasonal Yoga, you can view it here.
We will practice a breathing technique and/or meditation to help bring balance and calmness to your body and mind. Then we begin the movement part; which is kind, gentle and loving to our bodies. This usually incorporates some yoga asana, Chi Kung or whatever it is that I feel the group needs at that moment. The movement is suitable for nearly every body, depending on your own injuries or range of movement.
We then move on to a guided relaxation or Yoga Nidra session, where you lie back and listen to my voice taking you into a deep state of relaxation and healing, for at least 20 minutes.
********************
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is suited to you if you want to release stress and tension from your mind and body and find peace, stillness and healing.
It’s for you if your body enjoys the quiet strength it gets from the gentleness of slower movement.
You’ll enjoy it if you want to explore working with different breathing techniques because as Patanjali, Yoga Sutras said “When the mind is agitated, change the pattern of the breath”
********************
Who is this workshop not for?
It’s not for you if you are looking for traditional yoga asana, want a strong practice or are looking for an exercise class.
********************
What do I need for a workshop?
You will need a yoga mat, a cushion or yoga block to sit on to make sure you are comfy, and you will want a blanket and pillow for the relaxation.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
