Janina Lee Del Rio

Janina Lee Del Rio is a Certified Hatha Yoga Teacher, graduating in 2007 with High Honours from Sheridan College in Oakville.

Six years ago, Janina turned to practice yoga as a way to relax and have some downtime from looking after her two young children.  Just one downward- facing dog asana and she was mesmerized by the calmness and inner peace she found in herself.  After that first class, she realized the teaching of yoga was her calling in life.  One of her favourite aspect of yoga is the amazing transformation and healing that take place both physically and emotionally.  An emphasis on listening to your body, respecting your limits, without judgement and meeting personal expectations is a common thread throughout her class.  The main focus of her teaching is proper alignment, the breath and honouring the body.  She believes that the power of kindness is indispensable for the well being of everyone.

Janina has studied with noted yogis:  Rodney and Colleen Yee, Cindy Lee, Leslie Kaminoff, Jason Crandell, Yasmin Gow, J. Miller, Maria Garre, Doug Swenson, Natasha Rizopoulos, Lisa Black, Michelle Cormack, Todd Norian and Ann Green at the Toronto Yoga Conference.  In 2009 she attended the Pre and Post Natal Yoga Training Programme at Esther Myers Yoga in Studio in Toronto.

Janina is committed to her own personal development spiritually, educationally and professionally.  She values the ideals of a daily home practise to compliment her busy class schedule.
