Jane Bakx
Yoga, Meditation & Breathing Teacher 500 E-RYT
Jane is an E-RYT500 yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance certified) from the Netherlands. She lived most of her life in Amsterdam and worked as a producer in advertising. She has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and teaching for over 5 years. After her two yoga studies (both in India), she decided to leave her job in advertising and follow her heart and passion for yoga full-time. Since then she has been teaching all over the world and organizing yoga teacher training courses and retreats. Jane's home base is now on Bonaire, a small island in the Caribbean Netherlands.
Yoga for Jane is mainly about connecting with yourself; with your body, mind and heart. Yoga teaches you to listen to your body more. The focus in Jane's classes is therefore on making that connection with yourself and at the same time on gaining strength and flexibility.
She mainly teaches Vinyasa yoga and Yin yoga. Both styles in her own way. In her Vinyasa classes you move quite slow so that you can really get into the poses, feel your body and build a lot of strength. During the Yin classes you go deep inside.
Jane also has an enormous passion for the human body, anatomy and physiology. You will notice this in her instructions during her yoga classes. During the teacher training courses it is very clear too as Jane is super happy to share her passion and teach her students everything about the human body, related to yoga, in an enthusiastic, clear and fun way.
This training is for:
Yoga practitioners who want to learn about Yin Yoga, how to practice it and teach it.
Qualified yoga teachers who want to learn Yin Yoga to expand their scope of teaching.
Mindfulness & life coaches, bodyworkers and healers who want to deepen their own understanding and practice and for using it in their work.
Physiotherapists and sports doctors who want to use the deep healing power of Yin yoga for their patients/clients to benefit their recovery.
Yoga Alliance RYT-200/500 Teachers who are looking for Yoga Alliance CEU hours.
Yoga studios and yoga school owners who want to add value to the classes they offer to their clients

You will find a lot of teacher training centers & studios that have courses in huge groups.
We have chosen to work with small groups (18 max.). This creates a nice and intimate setting, were people can feel save and can share their experiences openly.

Recommended read:
Jane recommends you to read ‘The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga’ by Bernie Clark either before, during or straight after the Yin training. It will give you a lot of in-depth information. Information Jane also give you during the training, but it’s great to repeat what we learn so that it will stay put in our brains.
