Janka’s yoga can be simply described as meditation in movement. Her practice and teaching focuses on the movement of body, breath, and awareness, as a way to discover and dissolve energy blocks in the body.

She encourages exploration, authenticity and freedom; and moving away from an emphasis on commanding our bodies to attain the "perfect pose" to cultivating deep listening, curiosity and natural respect toward our bodies and ourselves.

Janka is a certified and registered yoga instructor at the 200 hour level with Yoga Alliance.She is currently working on her 500 hour certification with her mentor Mary Paffard.
