You are a phenomenal yoga instructor. The spirit with which you teach and demonstrate is very genuine and caring. Your gentle voice stays with me long after class encouraging me to stay relaxed and focused. In fact, I shot one of the best nine-holes of golf in my life recently and I can honestly attribute it to the flexibility, strength and focus that I obtained through your yoga classes.

Janya is an amazing yoga instructor. She is a warm, thoughtful and nurturing teacher. The pace of her Vinyasa allows you to relax and meditate while getting an intense workout. Janya has the keen ability to adapt her classes to all different experience levels. Lastly her mantras are extremely powerful because Janya has a beautiful singing voice that opens your heart and makes it sing! Janya and her yoga classes have changed my life.

Simple yet powerful is how I would describe Janya’s practice both in Aurveda & Yoga, which I stumbled upon early one Saturday morning at Avalon. Practicing yoga with her calm peaceful demeanor and melodious voice is a perfect way to begin my weekend. After brief conversations after/before class I learnt that Janya was also into Aurvedic medicine and because my goal for 2008 was a lifestyle change, I decided to go through a consultation with her last December. The initial meeting was long with a lot of information to absorb. So we decided to pick on only a few things that I could fit in and work with in my crazy life that includes stress, pressure and travel. Janya guided me on the followings:
Food: How to eat, what to eat and how much.
Skin: Using her face wash and Aruvedic oil has brought back luster and softness, that feels like my baby skin when I was 10 yrs old (growing up in India as a kid I regularly used a chick pea flour rub as a relaxing body scrub) Janya’s version has a lot more herbs added that leave skin feeling supple even in my thirties.
Daily Routine: Cleansing of the body internally and externally
Since I started this simple ritual four months ago, I feel refreshed have more energy and have been feeling good internally which in turn reflects externally too.
Thank you Janya!

I like Janya's yoga class a lot for unbelievable and wonderful feeling of lightness and rejuvenation, which I always have after the class. I was practicing Yoga for 5 years with different instructors and I can say: Janya is very professional and unique. It is a pleasure to come to the class and practice yoga with her. She always very gently corrects and empowers you to progress and to enjoy yoga practice. Her own movements and soft magical voice leads you to a journey of enjoying life and beauty inside and around you. I strongly recommend everyone to come to Janya's yoga class. Once you start - you will never be willing to stop.
