Along her path, Janine pursued advanced training in the Jivamukti Yoga method, completing a 300-hour program in 2017, guided by renowned teachers like Sharon Gannon, Yogeswari, and Moritz Ulrich. This was followed by an in-depth 500-hour apprenticeship in the Jivamukti Yoga method with her mentor, Miriam Iannone, an advanced certified Jivamukti teacher, who shared with her the art of sequencing and hands-on assists. Furthermore, Janine immersed herself in the Insight Yoga method as taught by Sarah Powers.

Continuing to expand her horizons, in 2018, she deepened her expertise in Yin Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine through the Insight Yoga method, followed by the Functional Approach of Paul Grilley. In 2020, she completed another Yin Yoga Training focused on functional anatomy under Sebastien Pucelle and Murielle Burrelier (With-Yin Yoga). Later in 2020, Janine had the privilege of learning from her first Iyengar Yoga Teacher, Angelo Cecchi, who transformed and influenced her personal practice and teaching in a positive way. She had the opportunity to learn and assist alongside him for an extended period, which was a gift, helping her understand the beauty of alignment and the therapeutic effect of posture practice.

In 2023, Janine achieved certification in the Kundalini Yoga method with Full Circle Yoga School, equipping her with the tools to optimize Prana Flow (the flow of energy within the bodies) and profound Chakra work through the tools of Kriya Yoga.

Janine’s teaching philosophy revolves around the fusion of diverse practices. She weaves somatic work, dance elements, Kundalini Prana Flow tools, and advanced alignment techniques rooted in Traditional Hatha and Iyengar. Skillfully placed hands-on assists are part of the energetic alignment in the subtle body. Through intuitive sequencing, she creates experiences that embody balance, harnessing the elements of nature to harmonize the inner with the outer world.

Beyond teaching, Janine’s passion lies in leading transformative retreats that infuse the healing energy of nature. These retreats are immersive journeys where the goal is for each participant to get back on their soul path—back to nature, back to a colorful world.

Over the past 8 years, she has had the privilege of facilitating over 35 Yoga Teacher Trainings, guiding more than 400 individuals through the 200 & 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training curriculum. Janine is honored to be part of their transformative journeys. She is an integral member of the global Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Community and a recognized Yoga Alliance Continuing Education provider for teachers worldwide.

Janine found her dharma in sharing the teachings over a decade ago. She is convinced that Yoga is for everyone and that it offers the opportunity to come home to oneself. She remains a devoted student of Yoga, ever-evolving in wisdom and practice.
