Testimonials

I am eternally grateful to Robin Buck and Jennifer Phillips for offering the yoga teacher training program to us in St. Thomas, USVI. It was an amazing, transformational and life changing program. I had no idea what to expect when I signed up for this course. Certainly to deepen my own practice, but also was excited for an opportunity to share yoga with others.

Robin and Jen created a sacred, loving, nonjudgmental space for us to learn a new language (directing gross action and subtle energetic movements), the yogic philosophy, anatomy, proper alignment, and most of all, an opportunity to see ourselves- which for me is the gift of yoga. I witnessed all of us moving past our self-imposed limits and fears to soar as teachers and yogis.

We all fell in love with the intelligence of the Dynamic Hatha method! It couldn't be more timely with all the current talk of the dangers of yoga. I feel very prepared to offer yoga in a safe way and learned so much about how to sequence in a way that is safe and supportive.

Robin Buck appears to be a normal person, but underneath her hilarious humor and sweet smile is a very wise, loving yogi who shines her beautiful and unique light out into the world. She touched me so deeply and I am proud and honored to be her student.

I am so excited to discover the treasures that I will give and receive as a yoga teacher! Thank you Robin & Jen!!

As a yoga student at Jane’s House of Well Being, I was drawn to the Yoga Teacher Training program with a strong desire to share the gifts of yoga with others. The teacher training program at Jane’s House provided me with the competency and knowledge to teach yoga, but also offered a framework to deepen my own practice. As a practice of passionate self inquiry, the teaching method at Jane’s House honors the uniqueness of each student and invites the possibility of seeing the self through a lens of compassion and honesty. Robin Buck and the team of gifted teachers in the training program are passionate, caring, and dedicated, and I am truly grateful for their wisdom and experience. As a graduate and student, I feel blessed to share the Yogic path with the many wonderful teachers and students that make up the Jane’s House community.

Jane's House Teacher Training Program is fabulous! I am currently about half way through, and the transformation that is happening is truly inspiring. Robin and Christy break down a lot of information into very manageable pieces. Since the training takes a year, we really get the time to take the information and use it in our everyday lives and yoga practices. I would recommend this program to anyone wanting to go deeper into self-inquiry and come out as a better person and a certified yoga instructor.

The Dynamic Yoga Method creates a complete experience. I am fortunate and grateful to have been given the opportunity to have the guidance of the teachers through the Teacher Training Program. The program goes beyond just teaching yoga. The training has equipped me with the knowledge to discover my beautiful creative force inside and has opened my mind to the spirit of humanity. The subtlety and power of breath and movement into stillness is simple, and from a kinetically inclined perspective, the dynamic yoga method is just that, simple and logical.

After searching and patiently awaiting for "just" the right teacher training program for most of my adult life, I found Robin Buck and the Jane's House Studio Teacher Training philosophy in alignment with the ideals and attributes of a truly authentic recipe for personal growth and self development. The gentleness, maturity, and awareness that Robin brings to the program are one-of -a kind. Who would have thought in Saint Charles, MO, just a stretch west from the Arch, I could have found such inspiration and guidance! Click the heels together three times with your ruby red slippers. There's no place like home!

I have been a high school teacher since 1989 and I’ve completed several graduate levels of formal training as an English teacher. No education I have received has shaped my teaching more than the Dynamic Yoga Teacher Training. The teacher-trainers practice what they teach: direct, mindful instruction of logically and safely sequenced actions. With its clarity and logic, the method gives me confidence as I bring yoga to my high school students, to my middle-aged colleagues, and to students of all ages and levels at a local community center. When a student praises my teaching (praise that most often comes from those who have done yoga for the longest—longer than I have), I simply explain that I was taught well. Grounded in an inquiry into how to find, cultivate and maintain bodily stability and a sense of ease, even in the midst of increasingly challenging action, the Dynamic Yoga Method, as well as the training I’ve received in it, continues to unfold in my life and work—not only in the yoga room, but in the high school classroom, in my exchanges with colleagues, in my life in my neighborhood, and at home, with my own family, in the busy kitchen at the end of the day.

I have been practicing yoga for almost 20 years and have practiced all different kinds of yoga styles in many different studios around the globe. I can wholeheartedly say that Jane's House of Wellbeing is a gem! The community is so welcoming to an out of towner and the Dynamic Yoga Method is a lovely practice that emphasizes an internal process. I went to 3 different classes led by 3 different instructors and all of them were wonderful! I will most definitely visit this studio again when I return to visit my in-laws.

No words could truly describe how my body, mind and spirit have benefited from Jane's House of Wellbeing. As a personal trainer and figure competitor, I have pushed my body and mind to achieve a higher level of fitness. Little did I realize that I was out of balance as I ignored my aches and pains and "pushed through", not wanting to slow down or listen to my body speaking to me. I thought yoga might help my body to heal, so I found Robin at Janes House in 2011. 

The classes and community here are such that you are not pushed to do, be or become anything other than what is perfectly perfect and right for you. For me, Jane's house opened many new paths and adventures, helped me to know my body better, and guided me to a place of greater peace and nonjudgement. Oh yeah, and my back no longer goes out on me anymore! I believe yoga gave my body space to heal itself. Jane's house is a loving, safe place that is so much greater than can be put into words. As a personal trainer with clients who put their trust in me... I feel comfortable referring my clients to a place that I trust to take care of them as well. I never hesitate to send any and all of my clients to Jane's House of Wellbeing.

Working with Jane’s House of Well-Being, and Robin specifically, is such a blessing in my life. The yoga and other classes have brought me a sense of balance, peace, and relaxation that I have never experienced before, regardless of what I had tried. I had no yoga experience before I started and was a bit nervous, but quickly found that everyone was supportive, non-judgmental, and helped me learn the yoga poses without any problems. I would highly recommend trying Jane’s House of Well-Being.

If you're thinking of taking up yoga or you want to try out a new yoga studio for yourself, here's a New-Year's suggestion (gift): Jane's House! Practise here is both careful and challenging; instructors are well-trained, aware of students' individual needs or limitations, and certainly provide a congenial and supportive atmosphere for self-development. Whether your interests are strictly with physical stretching and strengthening or you'd like to see how yoga can offer spiritual transformation as well, you would probably thank yourself for discovering Jane's House.

I have been a student at Jane's House since it opened 11 years ago, and I have been a devoted attendee ever since. The calm, fun, accepting atmosphere created by all of the teachers, especially founder Robin Buck, keeps me coming back. I try to make room in my schedule to participate in classes and workshops as often as possible, because I feel renewed and rebalanced when I depart from Jane's House. I treasure my time spent there, and I am grateful for the many new friendships I have made through Jane's House of Well Being. I always believe that taking time to pay attention to my body is the best gift I can give myself.

It's been almost 2 years since I started attending classes at Jane's House. I felt comfortable there right away even though I was completely new to yoga. I noticed that I felt more relaxed and slept better in no time, and over time, my flexibility and strength have improved. The rotator cuff pain and limited range of motion I had in my left shoulder when I started are completely better now. The teachers are accepting and inspiring, and I now take my kids to a Youth class there.

I have been attending Jane’s House for about 9 years. I have witnessed the studio blossom from a small bud into a most beautiful flower. I have made many friends there and it is wonderful to attend a studio where acceptance, respect, and honor are regarded in the highest degree. Robin and the other teachers at Jane's House are patient, kind, and knowledgeable and are always available for questions or concerns regarding postures. They are also very effective helping us work around our aches and pains when we are on the mat....because most of us have them. : )

Through my practice at Jane’s House, my quest into the “internal” has become very important to me. Robin has taught me that Yoga is not just a physical skill, but also a philosophy and a way of life off the mat as we attend our daily lives. She has been there as my guide as my journey with Yoga continues. I am so grateful I found her and the studio those many years ago. I like to think of her and the Studio as a Lighthouse for the World; a place of safety, honor, and friendship, a place to grow internally aware which is most important as we move though this life.
