Jana Sutherland

RYT 200

Jana has been practicing Yoga for over 20 years. She started back in Berlin, Germany, where she used to live, and now she is happily settled with her family in Downers Grove.

She says that yoga has always offered a sustainable way of taking care of herself and navigating life’s challenges. It is also a beautiful way to connect with the community.

Part of her journey was completing the RYT 200-hour training under Laura Jane Mellencamp and Julie Pate in 2020. She is currently enrolled in the 300-hour Yoga teacher training at Bloom’s in Chicago to further her education to meet people on all levels and physical needs. You will meet her subbing for various teachers at YAF, offering a calming yet energizing Vinyasa flow.

“I am excited to teach, as I believe that Yoga holds the key to a healthy body and calm mind. I learned so much these past years, and I want to give back to uplift and inspire people.”
