Movement Enthusiast & teacher

About Jane

Hi, I’m Jane,

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share what makes me feel alive and happy while also making a living

I live in sunny Nelson, New Zealand, with my husband Alastair, our two children, Austin and Mackenzie, and Hunter the dog.

I am passionate about movement! I have been a dancer all my life. As a teenager, I chose to follow that passion into teaching, which over the last 20 years has evolved to many different movement modalities including yoga, barre and Pilates.

I started teaching when I was a baby…ok, I was 17, but still pretty young, and since then I’ve dedicated myself to learning as a teacher and enriching others’ lives.

I am eternally grateful for my teaching ‘apprenticeship’ with Peta Spooner, which turned into a lifetime partnership in dance, and friendship too. On the weekends my family and I love to walk our dog, be by the ocean and, of course, spend time at our local coffee shop!

I’ve become stronger and more flexible due to an increase of my yoga practice due to Jane’s online classes, I have unlimited access to various classes of varying lengths of time which suits me and my busy lifestyle! I can practice anywhere, anytime! It’s the way to go! I love it!

Jane is very knowledgeable in what she teaches. She is a very passionate talented teacher who clearly loves what she does. I have loved her face to face classes for a number of years, and now I am loving the online classes and health emails, which suits my busy work/kids life perfectly.

Jane is a fantastic dance teacher. My daughter has grown immensely in confidence thanks to Jane's teaching style. Jane manages to make the class fun and engaging, but also applies sound ballet techniques. My daughter was fully prepared for the exam and found it a positive experience. I cannot rate Jane high enough as a dance teacher for all ages.

Mandy

I was new to yoga and barre/pilates before I started online courses with Jane during lockdown. She is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable about the body and everything she teaches. She has a beautiful, gentle manner and her classes are varied and well-considered for any level. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I did power yoga with Jane in the studio, did SUP yoga with Jane on the surfboards out on the water and even did yoga with a massive big bump - and I loved every session with this amazing teacher! So glad I can finally do yoga with her again - this time over in Europe, at home on my kitchen floor! Thanks Jane, keep it up.
