J’anaki began her personal yoga practice in 2004 at the Sivananda Yoga Centre in London. After many years of working in the corporate world she decided to embark upon a journey of the Soul, completing travels throughout Asia, and most notably the birth-place of Yoga: India.
Whilst in India J’anaki had the good fortune to study with many influential Yogis and then immediately went on to complete a rigorous Yoga Teacher Training at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram in New York in 2008. In mid-2009 J’anaki returned to South Africa and further trained under the Satyananda Yoga tradition.
Although still teaching classical Hatha Yoga, J’anaki was inspired by her own Pregnancy Yoga classe undertaken in Ireland (through Uma www.yonishakti.co ) to begin teaching prenatal yoga in South Africa in 2010 when Yoga Mama (www.yogamama.co.za) was born.
Since then J’anaki’s work has organically evolved to include the needs of the modern day women with whom she is working. This includes all concerns of the womb space: menstrual irregularities; PMS; infertility and womb-based trauma. Through this advancement in her field of expertise, the Red Tent JHB (www.redtent.co.za) was born on October 2016 – a place where women gather each month to share in thier menstrual awareness and healing.
J’anaki has since furthered her training in 2017 by understaking an international Mixed Movement Martial Arts based Yoga Teacher Training, known as Budokon. In the same year she completed a Post-natal and Yin Yoga Teacher Training. In 2018 J’anaki took part in a Well Women Yoga Teacher Training and a prestigious LifeLine Counselling course.
In 2019 J’anaki launched The Red Tent Facilitators training, the international and online 300hr Sacred Feminine Yoga Teacher Training, a business course: Business101 for Healers and Hippies and the almighty birth of her next child: Womb Whispers with J’anaki Ra, which encompasses all of the above.
