Welcome to yoga at In Stillness and Strength!
About me
My name is Jan and I am a yoga teacher based in Beverley, East Yorkshire. I am a retired nurse academic, with 40 years of practising, teaching, and researching nursing. I am mum to three adult children, a Christian, ultrarunner, musician, and dressmaker.
I didn't discover yoga until my early 50s, and each day I am grateful for what it teaches me. Yoga has helped me appreciate my body more, understand it better, and become a calmer, more peaceful person.
Now as a yoga teacher, my aim is to instill this sense of calm and peace in my classes. My approach is influenced by my Christian faith, so there's no chanting, chakras, or Sanskrit—just simple, slow, mindful yoga practice that celebrates and honours our bodies while helping us take care of them wisely.
If you're seeking a gentle approach to yoga that combines relaxation with strength, then you have come to the right place! Please do get in touch.
