"I am known for…
Taekwondo Master and Fitness Trainer.”
“Can't live without…
fishing, sushi, training.”
“My Motto…
Better than yesterday, now or never.”
“If I am not in the studio, you will find me…
at the Beach, Gym or Brunch at a Cafe or sleeping.”
Jinet Travers
Yoga Instructor
“Life is a sensory experience, breathe it all in, be curious and investigate”.
Jinet believes we all have a unique centre, a set of core beliefs that are intrinsic to us. Jinet inspires and guides her students to bring them back to their centre to see themselves as they truly are and encourage them to stand comfortably firm in their own beliefs.
When Jinet is teaching, she is 100% conscious, intuitive and receptive. She is interested in how her students are feeling and often asks for their response in return. She believes the teacher-student relationship is and should be reciprocal.
Prana (vital energy) being the foundation of yoga. Jinet credits her greatest teacher to be prana, her mat and experiencing the challenges and benefits of the practice she digs deep and invites, encourages and guides her students into a similar experience.
“Yoga - 1%, theory, 99% practice.” — The Master Guruji, SRI BKS Iyengar
It all started for Jinet as a teenager, when she stepped into the barre in a ballet class, this became a pivotal moment for her. Ballet nurtured her love and need to move, create, express and work diligently to bring discipline to a somewhat flighty nature. That discipline has grown with her yoga practice and both have served her well, giving knowledge and insight to each other and she states…
“I CAN'T NOT dance and do yoga!”.
“I am known for…
flexibility, creativity, details and info (too much of both) and my boot collection.”
“Can't live without…
family and friends, good coffee, music, dance, art and constant stimulation.”
“My Motto…
to thine own self be true .”
The full quote: “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night, the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” — Hamlet, William Shakespeare
“If I am not in the studio, you will find me…
at ballet, painting, seeking out my next amazing vintage find and attending to my cactus garden.”
