Greetings, yogis!
We are delighted to welcome Jan Chaney to the Stone Turtle Yoga teaching crew!! She will be teaching Slow Flow Yoga on Thursdays at 10:00am at the CRAF Center in Roscommon, starting next week on October 7th. Jan has an extensive yoga teaching background, and recently moved to her Higgins Lake residence full-time from the greater Detroit area.

Also, we will be canceling our Saturday morning Vinyasa yoga class for the quieter fall/winter months. We look forward to bringing that class back in the spring time. Meanwhile, check out our other classes, offered every day Monday through Friday, with virtual and in-person options for everyone!
About Jan Chaney:
I have incorporated a yoga practice in my life for over 25 years. Yoga helped balance my personal life with my stressful and growing career. After leaving “Corporate America” in 2012, I decided to further my yoga practice for my own benefit and began training at YogaMedics. I chose YogaMedics because I was following a new path in life at a mature age. It was important for me to find a training program that had a strong focus on alignment and a healthy approach to healing both our emotional and physical selves. The YogaMedics training program was developed by a team of medical professionals that included doctors, psychologists and physical therapists. After receiving my RYT-200 certification, I wanted to share my experience of yoga with others I believe that yoga should be fun and should be taught so everybody can participate. Using modifications, walls, chairs, blocks and straps is “no different from a carpenter using a hammer and screw driver; there are tools to assist no matter where you are in your practice.” Yoga can be practiced, anywhere and at any stage in a person’s life. There is no “end game.” As long as we continue to be
challenged, we will improve.I have clients that come because they have COPD, others because of back pain or anxiety. Our challenges are all different; as is our range of motion, limitations and injuries, but we all share in one thing, hope! I have also led a class to blind-folded yogis where all donations went to the SEVA Foundation to restore sight in poverty areas across the world.
I find my peace in yoga and in nature. My perfect day is taking yoga off the mat and into the woods, mountains, on a hike or paddle board…..doing tree pose on a fallen tree or yoga shadow poses with a loved one.
Welcome, Jan! We hope to see all of you beautiful yogis in class soon.
Love,
the STY crew
