Meet Our Student – Jane Cohen

When Jane first started taking Kaiut Yoga classes at the barn, she felt very self-conscious, comparing herself to others in the class and feeling like she was the stiffest person in the room.  In order to continue practicing yoga, she recalls having to find peace within with where she was.

I really wanted to continue and didn’t want my ego to be in the way of doing that.  As a psychotherapist working with parents who have lost a child, she is often giving this same message to grieving parents:  “It’s OK to be with where you are.”

Jane has been studying the harmonium, a classical Indian musical instrument which is played sitting cross legged on the floor.  When she first started playing, she experienced a lot of back pain, but after coming regularly to class she has noticed that she can sit comfortably on the floor and play without any pain.

Jane is also now proud to report that she is no longer the stiffest person in the room — and we are thrilled that she is in the room!
