Jane Borley

Yoga Teacher

I didn’t truly find my feet on the mat until seven years ago.

I was standing in the classroom of the local college that I was teaching in, and at that moment I new enough was enough, things had to change. I had started my career in the pushy world of fashion design with its heady deadlines, cramped tube journeys and endless demands. I then slipped into the equally demanding world of publishing, design, and making craft features for a wide selection of woman’s magazines.

From publishing I went into teaching, with more deadlines and more hoops to jump through. I did not know it at the time, but I was already on my way to the mat, collecting life lessons, communication skills, patience, and finding both my inner and outer voice. It was this inner voice that I heard on that sunny day in the classroom. At last I had truly decided to ‘get off the bus’.

First came the healing, with training and qualification in Reiki Healing which led me into the intoxicating study of ‘Chakra’ energy within the body. I then made the connection between yoga and its effects on the Chakras through practice.

I had not just ‘got off the bus’, but stepped off at just the right time and place, and an open door was waiting for me, as it is for all of us. I focused on my yoga qualifications and at last began to teach, combining flowing yoga moves that focus with the breath and chakra energy activation. I have also moved into teaching ‘Yama Kids Yoga’, a combination of yoga and art/craft for children and, using my Birthlight training, I teach ‘Yoga Bump’ in pregnancy and postnatally.

I see yoga as the great healer of mind, body, and spirit and teach it from the heart; with my feet firmly on the mat, I am home.

• Anatomy and Physiology
• Pre-post natal yoga
• Hatha yoga instructor
• New age foundation-crystal healing
