Janine's Bio A licensed physical therapist (B.S. McGill University, 1983), Reiki practitioner, certified Shake Your Soul® teacher and certified fitness trainer, Janine augments her classes with aspects of therapy, healing, and fitness for an integrated experience. Janine began her own yoga practice in 1992. Since then, she has participated in yoga teacher-training led by Sarah Powers in California and regularly enhances her practice with workshops, extended retreats and inner work.  Other influential teachers have been those of the Tibetan Buddhist lineage - Lama Willa Miller, Lama John Makransky, Brendan Kennedy, Lama Surya Das, Charles Genoud, and Pema Chodron - and Buddhist psychologists Jennifer and John Welwood, and Jack Kornfield.  Janine teaches both a yin and yang style of yoga, as well as meditation. In 2009 Janine met Daniel Leven, founder of Shake Your Soul® and the Leven Institute, and immediately knew that she wanted to offer another type of movement class focused on creativity, fun and great music. Shake Your Soul® classes were the perfect fit. Janine is committed to the path of healing and transformation in her own life and helps others through her classes, workshops, retreats, Reiki and private sessions.  She also volunteers teaching meditation classes at the Suffolk County House of Corrections.
