Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by to check out what we're all about. I believe everything happens for a reason, and if you're here, maybe it's because you're feeling that pull towards something more meaningful in your life. So, before you click away, let me share a bit of my yoga journey with you.
Flashback to 2011 – I was a twenty-something lost soul wandering through life in South Africa. Despite a religious upbringing, I was craving something deeper, something that truly spoke to my soul. Enter yoga.
I stumbled into my first yoga class at a local gym, not expecting much. But something clicked. With each pose, each breath, I felt more alive, more connected. It wasn't long before I found myself hooked, diving into Vinyasa flows and soaking up every bit of wisdom my teachers had to offer.
And then, one Savasana moment changed everything. As I lay there, basking in the afterglow of practice, it hit me – I wanted to share this magic with others. So, I took the leap and embarked on my yoga teacher training journey.
Fast forward a few years, and here I am, living my dream as a full-time yoga instructor. From quitting my corporate gig to launching my own SUP Yoga business, the journey has been wild, but oh-so-rewarding.
Over the last ten years in Malta, I've had the privilege of introducing a variety of innovative yoga styles to this island, including aerial yoga slings, wheel yoga, bungee fitness, and aerial trapeze yoga. Island Yoga Studio has become the go-to spot for yoga enthusiasts, leading the way in certifying teachers around the globe.
Now, I'm on a mission to pay it forward. That's why I founded the Island Yoga Teacher Training Academy – a place where aspiring yogis like you can dive deep, uncover your true potential, and emerge as confident, inspiring yoga teachers.
Maybe you're feeling stuck in a job that's sucking the life out of you, or maybe you're just itching to share your love for yoga with the world. Wherever you're at, know this – yoga has the power to transform lives, including yours.
So, if you're hearing that inner calling to take the plunge, don't ignore it. Let this be your sign to step into your greatness and join us on this incredible journey.
I can't wait to meet you on the mat!
Warmly
Rosita Jan
