About Me
My name is Jane and I’d like to share with you the magic of yoga. I founded Yogamagic, having worked as a solicitor for 17 years. I decided to leave the corporate world behind and pursue something I truly loved! I’ve not looked back (other than with a great big smile). I trained with Chie Sibbring Yoga Teacher Training and I am a member of Yoga Alliance Professionals.
​
My teaching style is gentle and nurturing, with a real focus on curiosity and self-enquiry, both of the body and the mind. My first degree was in biology and I am fascinated by the neuroscience behind how yoga works. I truly believe that for any individual to flourish and thrive, whatever their age, their nervous system must feel supported and nurtured. This is the basis of my approach to yoga classes for all ages -soothe & nourish with kindness & compassion.
​
I have a particular interest in how yoga and movement can support chronic conditions, including autoimmune and post-viral illnesses. As someone who has dealt with an autoimmune condition for the last twenty years, I have had to learn to recognise the early signs of flare-ups, and then completely slow down. Even too strong a yoga practice can put additional pressure on my nervous system, making matters worse. I am, by nature, someone who loves to be active and on the go, so this has not come naturally to me! However, over time, with patience and kindness to myself, I have recognised that gentle, mindful movement is so important to my healing.
Since completing my initial yoga teacher training, I have continued to learn and develop my knowledge, with a particular focus on somatics, as well as neuroscience and the immune system. I have completed courses on somatic movement, the neuroscience behind why yoga benefits us so much, yoga for the respiratory and immune system, as well as yoga for digestive health.
​
As well as community group classes, I have a small home studio where I hold intimate small group classes (for up to 4 students) and 1 to 1s. I am based in Neston, near Corsham in Wiltshire and teach in the surrounding towns and villages. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book a class.
