A Brief History of Jana Roemer
Current Obsessions: Homeschooling Freddie Wilde, the seven year old hilarious, overly dramatic star child who came through my womb, and August Wolfe, a fiesty two year old quadruple Scorpio who, no doubt has come to transform us ~ organic, plant focused, high vibration home crafted nourishment and superfoods ~ astrology ~ yoga nidra / Astro Nidrasᵀᴹ
Vices: Copious amounts of high quality, organic dark chocolate, online courses from teachers I love and respect + Instagram
Main Teachers: Hands down, number one teacher is our Solar System. Every student who has sat in front of me on their mat or cushion. Nature. My daily meditation practice, the vast field of consciousness and this wild ride of a human experience. Dr. Joe Dispenza, Indu Arora, Venerable Robina Courtin, Ally Bogard, Tanis Fishman + all my sisters. Thank the good Goddess for Soul Sisters.
Facilitation Experience: over 3000 hours of 200 + 300 hour yoga teacher trainings, 500 hours of yoga nidra trainings, workshops, sacred circles & transformational retreats. Guided thousands of hours of yoga classes, meditations and yoga nidras. Co-created + co-facilitated trainings and retreats with Sasha Bahador, Elena Brower, Ally Bogard, Christine Price Clark, Kristin Campbell, Meghan Currie, Sarah Zandbeek, Kat Villain, Satu Tuomela and more.
