The Presenter:
The teacher training
will be taught by Jane Anne Tager.
Jane Anne Tager, mother of three, has been practicing yoga at AYC for over a decade. Now she not only rewards herself through her own practice, but also by teaching Pretzel Kids yoga classes. Jane Anne says teaching yoga to kids offers them strength, balance, flexibility, and heightened awareness that benefits them far beyond their mats. It also offers them some much needed down time, and time to just sit with themselves. Better yet, it is just plain fun.
JaneAnne also teaches pre-natal yoga. These classes turn the attention to the breath while stretching deeply, incorporating poses that nurture the low back, open the hips, and work out other kinks as the needs arise. It offers moms-to-be a connection with each other, while taking time out to care for themselves and their changing bodies.
