Jana Roemer
To witness Jana over the past few years is to witness a young, fiery adult undergo metamorphosis into an elegant woman, steady and soft in her power. She tapped an internal spring of love as she held the hand of her father while he drew his last breath, boldly followed her heart and moved to a new country to marry her twin flame and, shortly after, carried his child. As she gracefully navigated each and every moment with shear presence, Trust and Letting Go became some of her most profound teachers. On November 2nd, 2014 everything changed with the arrival of her son, Freddie Wilde.
This is life. Life is yoga. This is yoga. As Jana says, “the time we put in on our mats and meditation cushions is the workshop for real life.” If we practice solely to strengthen and tone our physical bodies, we are only just beginning. As practitioners, we need to allow this ancient philosophy to infiltrate our entire existence so the full scope of the practice can be experienced. It matters not how your body looks or if you can do handstands. What matters is how you show up in the world. Are you living in integrity? Do you follow your heart and intuition? Do you choose thoughts, words and actions that heal?
Some years ago, Jana had the unique and potent experience of being taken under the wing of a true mystical genius, Ally Bogard. Over many years, Ally guided Jana through what it is to teach yoga from her heart and intuition, a trait that has become Jana’s calling card and keeps her students coming back and bringing their friends. Her mentor masterfully demonstrated to Jana the art of holding space for groups and individuals during highly transformational times while imbibing these ancient yogic teachings. She mentored Jana into the role of facilitator for 200 hour yoga teacher trainings. Nine TTs later, Jana has had the great honor of conveying these sacred teachings to over 200 students and bearing witness to their incredible transformations into gifted and unique teachers.
An avid world traveler, Jana rarely misses an oppor

Julia McCabe
I’d like to begin by thanking all of my teachers and friends who got me here in the first place. First and foremost: Patrick Creelman, Paul Dallaghan, Kristin Campbell and the teachers of Pure Yoga Hong Kong who I taught with (2005-2008) Ana Forrest and all my students since 2003. I’d also like to thank my inspiring professors during my time studying Kinesiology at McGill University. My degree actually came into good use! Growing up, I also learned the art of pedagogy by watching my schoolteacher parents and later my big sister. They’d come home slugging grocery baskets full of text books, eyes burning over late night report cards and sometimes heartbroken over kids who showed up with the same clothes and no lunch every day. My first teachers, my parents, they are my gurus.
To be straight up, yoga found me, I didn’t necessarily find it. I made fun of my first yoga teacher and through my teen years found most of what yoga professed…to be a load of bull. True story. I had NO clue what I was stepping into. Since 2000, after meeting my first true teacher, it has been a natural evolution, a slow simmer of a magnificent journey.
I traveled the globe teaching trainings and retreats since 2010 in Nicaragua. It has been quite a journey between hard work. sweat, tears, doubt, acceleration and loving connections: from the Daintree Rainforest to the windy mountaintops of Spain. I know I’m a teacher because everything keeps aligning me back to this role even when I think I’ve failed. It is a “job” that arrived quietly at first – like an unexpected new love, I was nudged along, shy and steady to stand at the head of the class. I eventually came into my louder voice that turned out to be a true one for me. It is my wish for all those who study with me to feel the same: to feel whole and to feel heard.

Sarah Zandbeek
Sarah Zandbeek is an Acupuncturist and Yoga Teacher. Her focus is healing and transformation through the lens of Hatha Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She utilizes the framework of TCM to teach practitioners the potency of asana and breath stemming from the traditional Hatha yoga practices. Her ability to resonate with truth, to hear beyond the spoken word, and her love of nature allows her to be a potent guide for those moving through transformational periods.
As a dancer born and raised in the country, movement and the environment have always been central to how she understands and relates to the world. She fell in love with TCM when she discovered its roots were embedded in that same dance of nature. Through her studies she has come to see how nature’s patterns show up in the body as signals, signs and symptoms. This has given her a unique ability in the way she facilitates yoga for health maintenance, the healing of dis-ease and realizing our potential.
Sarah currently resides in her hometown of Edmonton, Alberta where she consults and teaches. She travels through Asia and North America continuing her studies and teaching workshops, retreats and trainings.
