Janine Herman
500 Hr. RYT, Fitness Alberta Certified, Transformational Meditation Teacher, MBA
Janine teaches yoga, fitness and meditation classes and loves the variety of these 3 disciplines. She teaches corporate classes, studio classes, and private sessions in person and virtually around the world. Janine is a 500-hour registered Yoga Teacher and a Transformational Meditation Teacher. She also is a certified Yin Yoga and Children’s Yoga Teacher.
As a long time fitness instructor, Janine first became interested in yoga for the physical workout and quickly became captivated by the philosophy and practical learnings offered. She believes “the way you do one thing is the way you do everything” and the lessons learned on the mat have much to teach off the mat.
Soon, Janine started to add meditation to her daily routine. She had heard about all of the benefits of meditation for years but had a hard time sitting still, with a stick straight spine and keeping her mind empty of all thoughts. When she found Freedom Meditation she knew she had found her home and busted all those meditation myths!
Outside of the studio, Janine has an amazing family including 2 grown kids, a husband, fabulous siblings, and parents she’s in awe of (she was a bit of a rebel teen!). She’s vegan because of her love of animals and she loves to travel, especially for yoga retreats, but is not a fan of flying!
“I’ve been doing yoga for well over 10 years so I can say with confidence that Janine Herman ranks amongst the top 20% of yoga teachers in the city.
She delivers a perfect balance of fitness, education, spirituality and self examination to her classes. At the end of her classes, my body feels “worked”, my mind is calm and my spirits are lifted.”
