she/they
Jana Johnson is an enthusiastic yogi whose classes tend to have a relaxing & rejuvenating feel as she sets the tone for authentically & intentionally connecting with oneself. Her intention is for her students to allow the benefits garnered in the class to extend "off the mat" for positive influence in everyday life that go well beyond the formal practice.
She loves the idea of living out, moment by moment, the expression of “Namaste” where we recognize the Love, Divine, and Light in ourselves, and thus recognize it in others, and allowing that to be the basis in which we acknowledge all forms of life.
Jana is a 500-RYT with Yoga Alliance. She received her 200-hr yoga teaching certification from The Tree (formerly known as Green Tree Yoga & Meditation) with Raja Michelle, her 300-hr teaching certification with Melanin Yoga Project with Davina Davidson, and has completed her Ganja Yoga certification with Dee Dussault as well as several continuing education courses with Annie Carpenter
Since I discovered yoga, it has been a grounding and empowering perspective towards life that has inspired me to embody it more and more, as well as teach it with others. All the work I do with The Tree is an outpour from that inner feeling of groundedness, stability, balance, harmony, and empowerment. Living in and spreading this goodness is all I want to continue to do.
It has allowed us to show up for ourselves in new ways, to commit to ourselves in new ways, and therefore to discover new and greater capacities within ourselves.
