Janelle McCann

My name is Janelle McCann and I work at Orange Shoe Personal Fitness and MEND yoga studio. I have been working as a NASM CPT since 2014 and as a small group trainer since 2019. As a personal trainer I am skilled at working with clients one on one to help them reach their health and fitness goals. I have helped clients reach weight loss goals, performance milestones, and reduce pain and increase mobility.  Since earning my 200 RYT in 2019, I have taught over 300 yoga classes at various studios and settings. I have experience teaching to a variety of audiences such as; beginners, clients who are pre/post surgery, older adults, children, active adult athletes, and to adults with disabilities. I am experienced in leading small group strength and conditioning, boot camps, tabata, hiit training, heavy lifting classes, mobility and flexibility classes as well as yoga.  I primarily teach yoga in a vinyasa style where poses are connected via breath and organized in an intentional way to promote relaxation and prepare students for a peak pose. Besides vinyasa, I am certified to teach yin yoga, restorative yoga, mindfulness and meditation classes. 

Health, wellness, and yoga can bring balance, new perspective, and provide an overall better quality of life. My passion is helping others find their motivation, build their habits, and sustain an engaging movement practice throughout their lives. Many people know why health habits are important but struggle finding sustainable change in their daily lives. Creating positive and lasting change in individual lives requires a holistic and personal approach. Successful training comes from developing strong relationships built on trust and understanding. I create exercise programming to fit individual needs based off of individuals lifestyle, habits and past experiences. Focusing on positive progress in multiple areas, while exposing them to varieties of training builds confidence and intrinsic motivation. I consistently provide safe environments and personal connections while delivering amazing results. My focus is helping clients develop strong foundation habits for a healthy lifestyle within the body, spirit and mind.

I am motivated to teach yoga because of its power to create relaxation, peace, healing, and transformation. Teaching others to access the calm and relaxation within themselves is deeply rewarding. My teaching style centers around establishing a safe, warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment that is supportive of each yogi's individual journey and practice. Using transformative language and modeling, I build a healthy and inviting rapport with my students. I organize all classes with focused intentions such as promoting deeper relaxation, deepening awareness, strength building, or enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness. 

Following guidelines from NASM and through my yoga training and practices, I pride myself on building strong relationships and connections, while providing scientifically proven results that are sustainable and accessible for all clients. I have helped clients lose over 40 pounds, run 5k’s and marathons, reduce chronic pain, and climb mountains like Mt. Rainer, decrease body fat and increase lean body composition.
