More About me

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

I am Jana, a Canadian gal who has been living in NZ so long that I call myself a Caniwi (Canadian Kiwi). I have a Kiwi husband and 2 Caniwi kids, and we all love living in East Auckland. I love keeping active and healthy, but enjoy a balanced life - this girls gotta have her coffee and a treat now and then too. I like to live life with a bit of pep, know-how and determination, so I guess you can say I like to live life with a bit of Moxie (incidentally the name of my other little pilates biz)!

My Pregnancy Yoga and Pilates journey started over 12 years ago when I was pregnant with my first daughter Lexi. My Pre and Post Natal Yoga/Pilates career started after the birth of my second daughter Sadie, when I was looking for a new direction and something that would fit around my family. The adventure continues with my two businesses BumpYoga and Moxie Pilates, which fulfil my love of teaching and my passion of connecting with other mums in the community. I love to teach and I love to learn, which means I am constantly convincing my husband that of course I need to complete another workshop and/or training course.

I have a relaxed and fun approach to my classes, and have been called entertaining and down-to-earth. Hey, if you can’t have fun and a bit of a laugh then what’s the point right? I love sharing my passion for Pre and Post Natal Yoga, Pilates and barre, as well as, baby massage and also love expanding the community I’m creating - come along and join our community if you’re keen to see what we’re all about!
