25: From Peace Corps to Yoga Studio Owner: Jana Johnson’s Vision for Yoga and Community

In this week’s episode of the Full Time Yoga Teacher Podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Jana Johnson, a passionate yogi and co-owner of the Yoga Tree Cooperative in South Central LA. Jana’s journey into yoga deepened significantly during her time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, ultimately leading her to become a co-owner of this unique yoga studio cooperative in Los Angeles. In our conversation, Jana shares how her experiences have shaped her approach to teaching and her dedication to extending the benefits of yoga "off the mat" into everyday life. Jana's classes are known for their relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere, fostering an authentic and intentional connection with oneself. As a 500-ERYT with extensive certifications, Jana is committed to providing transformative experiences through yoga teacher trainings. She also shares her passion for supporting frontline workers who fight for social justice, demonstrating how yoga can be a powerful tool for community empowerment and personal growth. Tune in to be inspired by Jana’s journey and her dedication to making yoga accessible and meaningful for all.
