What clients are saying about theses sessions:
"At the onset of my first online session with Janine, I felt lighter, like jumping with joy and laughing alone aloud. The source of fresh aliveness in me had been watered by her precise, open, gentle guidance and attunement, so much so that I was wary of becoming addicted to our sessions –or rather, to Janine. My inner child sensed the possibility of a secure attachment and the possibility of deeper, authentic, connection. By our 3rd session, the excitement had quietly settled while the awe and gratitude remain as we work together on what lies beneath the surface of my daily life and practice, the old buried suffering, the habitual dissociation of CPTSD and childhood trauma.
Janine works with quiet but expert focus on both the somatic 'bottom up' and the cognitive 'top-down' dimension of being, listening deeply, encouraging softly and allowing for all the emotions and sensations to be cared for, felt, and acknowledged. Regulation and release come immediately in the very safe, warm and secure space she holds. She seems to have a very vast knowledge of the body and mental processes of stress and trauma. Through her simple presence and way of being and relating to me, moment by moment, she expresses in the most natural and effortless way what could yet be an enormous mountain of experience and training. Thank you so much, Janine. I did not dream I could find such a skilled and humane therapist. This sense of trust, at this stage of my life, is in itself an immense gift" -

200 HOUR FOUNDATION
This Internationally accredited 200hr Teacher Training Program will immerse you into the foundational aspects of all that Yoga is. Janine specialises in advanced methods of facilitation so that you, the student, are able to embody and 'upload' experiences and materials for rapid and integrated learning.
You will be introduced to the history of yoga with intense personal development to prepare you, the student, for the role as teacher.
The course focuses on an in-depth understanding of the anatomy and physiology of yoga postures, hands-on assisting, understanding sequence structure and counter-pose, yoga physiology, and living philosophy. The focus and point of difference in Janine's delivery is that the emphasis is on your experiential and embodied learning. The Truth of Yoga can ultimately only be felt as an individuals experience. This is the realisation process that we live and model in the 200hr program and for life.
We guide you in the development of a sadhana practice including meditation, kriyas, and pranayama. We also take a brief look at the energy body, holding space for healing, develop non-violent communication and invitational language for trauma sensitive classes and so much more.
The course is lead by Janine Leagh, Master facilitator, and will be assisted by Senior Yoga teachers and guest faculty for impactful learning. All facilitators will present in the subject matter to which they are experts in their field of study, e.g. yoga philosophy, anatomy & physiology, etc.
This is a deep dive into the world of yoga, and a course that delivers the foundation for a lifetime of experiences.

testimonials
You are magic Janine, perfectly imperfect, quirky and kind, authentic and relatable, fiery and fluid, just all of it wrapped up in a beautiful human being.
I know you said maybe you should renovate houses, and I mean I can only imagine you’d be great at doing that too, but please don’t ever stop renovating souls and lives.
Thank you so so very much for that limiting core beliefs weekend and both the exercise we did and the chat about body image we had. I’ve had so much pain and confusion around all of that stuff.
I’ve always felt so frustrated by not understanding why I struggled so much to step outside my comfort zone in travel or adventure when I remember once being so courageous, independent and fearless. I truly felt like you took my inner child that day in your hands and gave her a little torch to use in the darkness.
I feel like you showed me the seeds that had been planted about not being safe or loved and that at anytime I can plant new ones, and I can feed those seeds with my words and my actions to make them outgrow the not so helpful ones.
It’s been the most freeing experience I have ever felt. I love myself more than I think I ever have in my entire life. And what a priceless gift that is. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I will always hold your magic soul in my heart.
