REVIEWS
Jennifer talks about my Yin TTC and my yang TTC. She did them both on curaçao ,
VArious ex-students talk about my 200h TTC in spain
“I met Jane on my yoga teacher training in Spain. From the first minute I met her, she was one of the most inspiring teachers I ever met! I clicked with her from the first lesson I got.
She is the teacher I want to be within a few years. Down-to-earth, an inspiring energy and always ready for a joke! She didn’t only learn me the most important basics of teaching yoga but also the importance of the individual anatomy of each body. So she didn’t only make me a teacher but also a first class ‘anatomy-nerd’.
Even after teacher training, she is always there for answering my thousand-and-one questions which I stumble upon teaching yoga...
Jane is also the perfect example of someone who practice what she’s preaching. She inspires me to be the best yoga teacher I can be by believing in my authentic self.
So, if you are thinking about following a teacher training course, don’t hesitate and book with her! You won’t regret it! ❤️!”
— JESSICA DE MOOR, BELGIUM, JUNE 2019
“Dear fellow Yogis,
I just did the 200h Yin, Hatha and Vinyasa TTC with Jane and Ilse in Spain and I highly recommend it!
Every single thing in this course was beautifully planned out and absolutely amazing!
We learned a lot about yoga in classes but also had a lot of practical experiences and chances to learn more about ourselves. And probably the most beautiful thing: The people there! So many like-minded gentle people you can have the most amazing conversations with and learn a lot from.
To sum it up: Jane and Ilse are incredibly talented and professional Yoga teachers who are able to bring out the best in everyone and they make sure you will be fully equipped with all necessary yoga skills when you leave the course (of course, it is still a lifetime of learning haha).”
— CLARA HASCHER, GERMANY, OCTOBER 2020
“I had the pleasure of having Jane as one of the lead teachers during my recent 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Spain. She is very knowledgeable about yoga and all the poses, offers individual adjustments and alternatives, and always keeps safety top of mind. Whether it was Hatha, Vinyasa or Yin Yoga, Jane was able to turn every class into a unique and fun experience! During the teacher training, she encouraged us to make yoga our own and offered support and help along the way. Thank you Jane for a great experience!”
— KATHARINA HOLCH, GERMANY, NOVEMBER 2019
“I feel grateful for having Jane as my mentor during the TTC in Spain. Her energy, enthusiasm, knowledge and dedication made my overall TTC experience so positive and so much fulfilling. Jane’s unique energy and approach towards yoga practice inspire me till today even though the TTC experience is over. Apart from being excellent yoga teacher Jane is also very kind and loving person with whom you just want to spend your time. I truly believe we’ll meet again, so see you then Jane.”
