About Janice

 Hello and welcome!

My family and I moved from Calgary to Mount Pearl, Newfoundland in October 2008 and I am happy to be a part of St. John's yoga and healing community.

I have been practicing Hatha yoga since 1992. In the beginning, I used yoga as a means to exercise, stretch and relieve stress. As the years went on, I found that my yoga practice affected not only my body, but also how I lived my life.

As I have started deepening my experience of Spirit in my own life, I find that I am being called to help others listen to the voice of Spirit in their own lives. I feel as that this is my life mission as a yoga instructor / spiritual teacher / healer.

My teaching is influenced by Iyengar and Ashtanga yoga. I have received my 2nd degree Reiki attunements (and am planning on receiving my Reiki Master certification very soon), received the nine Munay ki rites of initiation as a healer in a shamanic tradition, and am a certified Core Connexion facilitator, a process that allows individuals rediscover themselves through their own authentic movement. I also have a M.Sc. in Zoology with a specialization in ecology and bird behaviour, which speaks to my connection and love of the earth. I work parttime as an environmental consultant / wildlife biologist. You can read more about my formal training here.

Recently, I have felt the call to expand my healing practice off the yoga mat to offer Reiki and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) sessions. You can read more about that here. I am also hosting a monthly healing circle in St. John's.

When I'm not involved in the healing arts, I can be found spending time with my family (we have an active three year old, who keeps us very busy). I am married to a loving and supportive husband. If you happen to be looking for an electrician who works with integrity and quality, you contact him here. 

In Spirit,
Janice Skiffington
