The Essence of Yin Yoga:
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced practice that emphasizes long-held postures and conscious breathwork, allowing you to connect deeply with the body’s fascia and connective tissues. Unlike more vigorous, yang-based practices, Yin Yoga invites you to embrace stillness and surrender to the sensory experience. Through these long holds, tension, stress, and repressed emotions are gently released, creating space for greater clarity, lightness, and emotional freedom. This practice encourages you to be present with your body and breath, enabling a deep sense of calm and restoration.
The Power of Restorative Yoga:
Restorative Yoga is an essential practice for deep relaxation and healing. Using ample props to support long-held, floor-based postures, Restorative Yoga allows the body to fully surrender, creating an environment where tension in the muscles dissolves, and the nervous system is invited to reset. The longer holds in Restorative poses offer a powerful opportunity to quiet the mind, slow mental chatter, and release long-held emotional blockages. This practice taps into the body’s innate ability to heal, offering profound rest and a renewed sense of energy.

Jeanie Jyanti (she/her) is passionate about taking Yoga off the mat and helping others discover the many aspects of Yoga and how they can be integrated into everyday life. She believes deep rest is a radical act in this fast paced world and she adores helping others to experience the true act of surrender. She is known for creating spaces where people feel nurtured and held, however that looks for them.
Jyanti began teaching Restorative practices 8 years ago and has been sharing her experience and wisdom with Teacher Trainees for the last 5 years. She has completed over 500 hours of YTTs with Akhanda Yoga Institute and has been a teacher and assistant on many more. Her other interests and expertise include Accessibility in Yoga, Mantra and Chanting, and Pre- and Post- natal Yoga.
Jot Anant’s teaching seamlessly integrates science and sacred, guiding students to tap into their innate wisdom. She empowers them to decondition the mind and reconnect with the immense power within their hearts. This process of inner inquiry and awakening is, in her view, essential for healing — both individually and globally.

These diverse trainings, combined with her own dedicated practice and self study, allow her to create a nurturing space where students can explore their body’s natural wisdom and cultivate a deeper connection to self.
She is known for her ability to seamlessly integrate traditional yogic philosophy with modern scientific insights, offering a holistic approach to Yin Yoga that speaks to the body, mind, and spirit.

Through these rich lineages, along with her exploration of Yin from various perspectives, Jot Anant has developed a multifaceted understanding of the practice, encompassing both the physical and energetic dimensions of Yin Yoga.
