Jana Webb has made it her mission to share her inimitable perspective of fitness and health with the world. Jana is a survivor. A lifelong athlete, entrepreneur, businesswoman, TEDx Presenter, published fitness writer, TV host, ambassador, media sensationalist, teacher, mother and the creator and founder of JOGA.
Before JOGA, Jana was a successful television host and advertising executive that suffered injuries and chronic pain from a car accident. Striving to feel better and to manage her pain, she decided to take the advice of her performance coach and try yoga as a rehabilitative technique. Jana became curious to further her knowledge around this modality and traveled to Japan and became certified in Yoga. When Jana returned to Canada she worked alongside sports science therapists and trainers to harness her skills working with athletes. She applied her knowledge and started troubleshooting the biomechanics of the human body with the movements of sports so they were accessible for athletes. Wanting to bridge the gap between sport and yoga, and help athletes excel at their sport, Jana developed a number of sport-specific programs. In 2010 JOGA, a unique blend of movements and breathing techniques was born. JOGA has been revolutionarily in helping all athletes strengthen their minds and bodies for optimum performance.
The true significance of JOGA would not be unveiled until a second near fatal accident in 2016 left Jana with a broken back and a long-term brain injury. Surviving this traumatic accident led Jana to learn more about recovery, and truly understand and appreciate the mental & physical strength that it takes to overcome severe adversity.
JOGA is the reason Jana is here today. Her passion and purpose is to share JOGA with as many athletes as possible so that they can be the best and healthiest versions of themselves, beyond the game of sport.
