Jan O’Connell-Shah's All-Access Monthly

Jan likes to explore and teach functional movements that help her Students move through everyday life. In class with Jan, you can expect to talk about anatomy. BUT we won’t talk about creating the perfect shape or alignment. Instead you will be encouraged to explore what works for your body & not take moving too seriously. Each class will include movements to build endurance, resilience, in addition to strength & mobility.

About tiered pricing:

We believe in honoring the value of teaching and offering a practice that is accessible. Our tiered pricing system is self-determined. In deciding which price feels most appropriate to you, consider your social location (proximity to power and privilege), so that we can collectively move towards equity. If you are relatively stable financially, please pay the standard price. If you need to pay less for any reason, we encourage you to pay the community price.

I like to explore and teach functional movements that help us move through everyday life. I’m grateful to be part of this community of teachers that share a common bond toward not only physical well-being but mental well being.

I teach a combination of movement modalites - yoga, pilates, & FRC. As a mover for over 20 years & teacher for 10 I’ve trained in many ways. Through practice, I’ve learned we need more than one movement modality to meet our needs. Our bodies crave & benefit from different types of movement practices to build capacity, endurance, resilience, in addition to strength & mobility.

In class with me, you can expect to talk about anatomy. BUT what we won’t talk about is creating the perfect shape, alignment, or me telling you NOT to do something that feels right for you. I will encourage you to explore what works for your body & not take moving too seriously. Let’s just move together!

My Pugs Bear & Sophie love to do “drive-by's'' during class. They are avid movers, especially when they sprint to the kitchen for feeding time.
