Heather M., Athlete & Swim Coach

JOGA is a fun way for me to engage and focus on muscles I don’t typically remember to utilize when engaging in normal yoga practices. I don’t think I’ve ever sweat so much during a yoga class, and can’t wait to continue. Rena’s knowledge of body movement and mobility was on point. She was able to correct me using cues that were easy to follow and without having to lay a finger on me or having me feel like a complete oaf.

Margo C., New York Gridlock Ultimate

I used to only do hot yoga because I was craving an intense workout that also built flexibility. However after overextending myself in hot yoga/not seeing any results I stopped doing yoga all together. Picking up JOGA has been wonderful for me. It’s an opportunity to improve my mind-body connection which is essential as an athlete, especially now given with social distancing I cannot play my sport. JOGA helps me access my athlete mindset while building strength and increasing flexibility.

Danielle Brooks (Runner, Active Mom, Sports Enthusiast)

This practice not only pushes my limits, but it is very technical. Jennie has an ability to talk to me about my body in a way I’ve never looked at it before, from the different muscle structures to breathing points. She takes the time to fully explain every move to get me to understand the hows and the whys of what we’re doing. The wildest thing to me is that there are moves that absolutely push me to the brink where I think there’s no way I can go on, but after all the stretching and relaxation exercises at the end, I feel as though I could go run a marathon – or take a nap (it’s seriously that relaxing). All in all, I’m grateful to have had this practice come into my life, especially with such a great instructor!

Melanie Brooks (Hockey, Cross Country, Lacrosse)

Jennie teaches me how to control my breathing and how to stretch without hurting my body. Overall Joga is very good for you and it can be fun and challenging at the same time. I think more people should try it, plus Jennie is really fun to work with.

Melanie’s JOGA class was awesome.  She taught me better breathing techniques that improved my performance not only in yoga but sports as well. I was not able to play football for 15 years because of Hip and Spine problems but by using the techniques I was able to play for the first time.  My overall strength and fitness has improved 10 fold and because of her I love my life again!!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Sean, competitive curler and tennis player

I’ve seen a noticeable increase in my hip, knee, and ankle mobility, which has significantly reduced knee pain I had been feeling during tennis and curling sessions. I feel much more stable in my curling delivery now, too – those little stabilizing muscles are much more engaged than before.

Joga is similar yet different than other practices like yoga, Pilates, core training etc. The exercises can be adjusted for any fitness level from beginner to experienced. This is a great option for anyone who wants to improve their core strength, flexibility, balance & overall function. The breathing sequence is very helpful for relaxation & calming in everyday life scenarios that are stressful.

I highly recommend trying a future session!

TESTIMONIALS

“My name is Tyler Russell. I play hockey for the Los Angeles Jr Kings. I have been practicing JOGA for over 2 years. JOGA has helped me get stronger, especially with the strength in my legs. I really enjoy doing all of the JOGA exercises along with the salutation and the stretches. I consider JOGA a secret weapon because my body is in pain during the workout but I know that the pain is what will make me stronger. My JOGA coach, Carlie Chiovetti, is awesome. She is great at teaching all of the exercises and really cares that we are making improvements every week to help me be a stronger athlete.”

TESTIMONIALS

“When I started with Jana this past summer I noticed an immediate improvement in the way I felt physically. She paid close attention to the way my body was built and my strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to work on and improve strength and mobility that would immediately help me as an athlete. The work was very specific and tailored to my position. I’m very confident that it helped me on the ice when the season started. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future.”

TESTIMONIALS

“JOGA can be an integral part of the off-season training of any athlete. It is important, however, to find an instructor who understands the demands of your sport and the strength and conditioning program. Jana and the JOGA staff have a done a great job of tailoring a program to meet the needs of my athletes and are willing and able to customize their sessions based on my feedback.”
