35. Yoga in our life with Janine Noblett

Cycles of Life

In this episode, Jana is chatting with Janine Noblett, who is an ex-dancer, fitness coach, studio owner, corporate manager and presenter. Now a Health Coach who specialises in Iyengar Yoga with twenty-five years of experience in helping many people to transform their mindset, body, and their whole life. She previously trained in Ballet and Contemporary Dance before moving into the fitness industry as a coach, assessor, and professional educator.

Janine’s Iyengar journey began following a car crash which left her with lower back, pelvic and neck issues, and this made it hard to continue teaching the high-impact classes she was used to. After a long stretch of physiotherapy sessions which didn’t improve her health or mobility, Janine was told she would have to live in pain and receive pain management. With an understanding of how the body moved, along with knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics, she turned to self-care. After trying many different yoga styles she fell in love with the Iyengar method and began her yoga journey. This passion grew as Janine felt first-hand, the physical benefits and noticed an improvement in her mental health too.

Janine continues with meditation teaching and practises mindfulness as part of the mental and spiritual journey of yoga.
