Nourish Grow Blossom
Healing Bloom Yoga
was founded by Ja'net Barchard, MScE, RYT.
She loves body movement and for many years enjoyed challenging her body with running, weight training, soccer and biking. Eventually recurring back pain, from fracturing her lower back as a teenager, began to interfere with her sports and she found Yoga in 2001. She quickly discovered that Yoga made her feel more energized, calm and clear. Wanting to learn more about Yoga, she began her Yoga Teacher training in 2004.
Reconnecting with her self in her yoga practice has helped her find grace and presence with every day life, and guides her to live life fully. She has used Yoga, with the help of her teachers, to deal with back issues, recover from whiplash and to manage a rare neurological condition that affects her hands, arms and neck. She has used Yoga in her recovery from surgery and to deal with the day to day experience of living with a chronic condition. Her daily Yoga practice continues to help her find well-being and joy.
Ja'net feels the awareness of body, breath, mind and self that yoga brings creates an opportunity to enrich and deepen life experiences. She established Healing Bloom Yoga to offer personalized Yoga practices to people and groups of all abilities, so anyone can discover the benefits that Yoga can bring to their life. She enjoys teaching Yoga classes where her students connect their body and mind and as they follow their breath with a balance between strength and openness.
She completed her Yoga Teacher training through Trinity Yoga, has trained regularly with Anusara and Anusara Inspired teachers, has taken specialized training in Yoga for Pregnancy and Beyond, Anatomy and Therapeutic Applications of Yoga.
She is presently studying in the lineage of Sri Krishnamacharya and Sri T.K.V. Desikachar with the Healing Yoga Foundation of San Francisco. She enjoys teaching personalized Yoga practices and her areas of special interest are Yoga for Health, Yoga Philosophy and Meditation.
