Who am I?:
Hi I’m Jeanie Jyanti (she/her) of Alchemy School of Yoga. I’m passionate about taking yoga off the mat and helping others discover the many aspects of yoga and how you can integrate them into your everyday life. My desire is to preserve the ancient teachings of yoga, gifted to us from Mother India, and allow people all over the world to experience the immense benefits yoga can have on your modern life. I love combining yoga with my other passions of food and music.
Born and raised in Ireland my Celtic roots and love of mysticism lends to a holistic and varied interest in Spirituality. You will usually find me laughing, thinking about food, nerding out on biochemistry, singing mantra or spending time with animals!
In 2014 I accidentally discovered I was a business woman! I believe our natural creativity, nurturing nature and deep inner wisdom are super powers when it comes to business. I am the Creator of Yoga UnCorked Podcast, The Yoga of Food Recipe Cards and Alchemy Collective which is a networking and educational group using holistic tools to create more aligned businesses.
What do I teach?:
I teach Akhanda Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Chair Yoga, Community Yoga, Accessible Yoga, Pregnancy Yoga, Parent and Baby Yoga and Menopause Yoga. I teach yoga to suit all levels and abilities so the majority of my classes are for every one. I adore that yoga really can be practised by everyone in one space and I am truly passionate about creating an environment to allow people of all abilities to feel comfortable, challenged and supported. I regularly incorporate varied Pranayama practices, mudras, mantras and kryias in my practices. They can allow a deeper connection and self exploration and really take your practice to the next level.
Since 2019 I’ve been regularly teaching Yoga Teacher Trainings both within my own school as well as with esteemed Institutes such as Womben Wellness and Akhanda Yoga Institute
What do I do?:
I teach a variety of weekly classes, workshops, teacher trainings and student trainings.
Hosting Retreats and Events in Ireland, Europe and India from day long to week long these incorporate food workshops, kirtans (sacred singing circles), kryia experiences, yoga asana, pranayama, meditation and a lot more.
My Education:
I have been studying yoga for over twelve years and teaching yoga full time for ten years. I am a Studio Owner, Yoga Events Curator, Retreat Leader as well as a Yoga Teacher Trainer. Being passionate about education I strive to continuously inspire and educate all of my students, teachers and teacher trainees.
I have studied and trained under the joyous Yogrishi Vishvketu PhD of Akhanda Yoga in Rishikesh, India and I have over 800hrs RYT. I’ve also studied with the sublime Usha Anandi of Womben Wellness, as well as Sally Parkes Yoga and Uma Dinsmore Tuli to gain over RPYT200 in Pregnancy, Post-natal, Fertility, Parent and Baby and Menopause Yoga. I am also deeply committed to making Yoga accessible to all and have studied with Jivana Heyman of Accessible Yoga School and have been heavily inspired by the work of him and his colleagues.
I am passionate about Yoga Education and feel strongly that we need to elevate the standard and authenticity of Yoga Teacher Trainings. I have taught on YTTs in India, Greece and Ireland and continue to learn through teaching.
I have worked in the corporate world of Pharmaceuticals for 7 years having completed my BSc Hons in Chemistry from UCC. However, I believed in yogic practices so much I left my full time, permanent, pensionable job (much to my Father’s horror!) to teach full time. I’m excited to help you discover these practices too.
