Filled with wanderlust and a quest for truth and freedom, Janice set off for Asia in 1988 where she found her way to a ten-day Vipassana meditation retreat in Thailand. It was here that she discovered the power of meditation and was exposed to the practice of hatha yoga — she has been integrating the two ever since. For the past nineteen years, Janice has continued to explore both soma and psyche and how the body and mind reflect and affect each other. She currently teaches at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, as well as at retreats around the world. Janice is founding director of the Yoga Garden, has served as President of The International Association of Yoga Therapists and author of Yogini, The Power of Women in Yoga.
