Jane Alexander grew up an athlete in Chicago's North Shore, a competitive diver in high school and Division 1 diver in college.

Her professional journey began in the financial industry, moving from the floor of the CBOE to sales, marketing, and client retention with an investment banking firm. As life evolved, she moved to the suburbs, bought a minivan, and left work to raise her four children.

The Beautiful Self

Then, life happened in unexpected ways. Her marriage ended, her foundation cracked and fell apart, and she lost her path completely. Throughout these difficult transitions, Jane continued to dive deeper into yoga as a healing practice — a place to find calm, strength, and adaptability. Through yoga, she began to recreate a caring, loving, nourishing relationship with her fully flawed and beautiful Self. She committed to the teachings of yoga as a healing modality, training in the application of mind-body practices to come home to herself, to greeting herself with love and care.

The Cure

It's this practice, these transformative healing methods that Jane now shares with others who find themselves at similar crossroads. As a certified yoga instructor and wellness guide, she creates safe spaces where individuals can reconnect with their authentic selves. Jane's teachings blend physical postures with mindfulness techniques, helping students navigate life's challenges with grace and self-compassion. Her personal journey from corporate success through personal struggle to inner peace informs her teaching style — gentle yet powerful, understanding yet encouraging, finding light and humor along the way. Today, Jane helps others discover what she found on her mat: that even when life breaks us open, we can use that opening to let in more light, more healing, and more authenticity. Her mission is simple but profound: to guide others back to themselves, one breath at a time.

Trained in several Disciplines

Pranayama: Controlled respiratory interventions demonstrating significant vagal tone modulation (Noble et al., 2019) and reduced cortisol secretion (Kochupillai et al., 2021). Meta-analyses indicate consistent improvements in autonomic function markers (HRV) and executive functioning (Brown et al., 2022).

Ayurveda: Constitutional medicine framework validated through metabolomic profiling studies (Singh et al., 2018) showing distinct biochemical signatures corresponding to traditional dosha classifications. Clinical trials demonstrate efficacy of personalized interventions for metabolic syndrome (Chauhan et al., 2021).

Myofascial Release: Randomized controlled trials indicate significant improvements in hyaluronic acid production and fascial tissue hydration (Schleip et al., 2019). Ultrasound elastography confirms changes in connective tissue viscoelastic properties post-intervention (Chaudhry et al., 2020).

Meditation: Neuroimaging studies demonstrate increased prefrontal cortical thickness (Lazar et al., 2018) and attenuated amygdala reactivity (Goldin & Gross, 2020). Systematic reviews confirm significant reductions in inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) following 8-week programs (Black & Slavich, 2022).

Posture Analysis: Biomechanical force-plate assessments correlate postural deviations with documented joint loading patterns (Levangie & Norkin, 2020). Prospective studies demonstrate predictive validity of specific alignment markers for musculoskeletal pathology development (Neumann, 2021).

Structural Therapy: Longitudinal electromyographic studies confirm normalized recruitment patterns following fascial manipulation (Stecco et al., 2019). 3D motion capture analysis demonstrates improved kinetic chain force transmission after targeted interventions (Myers, 2020).

Recovery: Comparative effectiveness research validates yoga-based protocols for parasympathetic upregulation measured via respiratory sinus arrhythmia (Sullivan et al., 2018). Salivary α-amylase decreases confirm superior stress-recovery indices versus passive rest (Taylor et al., 2021).

Somatic Healing: Polyvagal theory applications demonstrate normalization of autonomic nervous system function through interoceptive awareness training (Porges & Dana, 2018). Cortisol awakening response improvements correlate with trauma symptom reduction (van der Kolk et al., 2022).

Weight Training: Systematic reviews confirm osteogenic effects through mechanotransduction pathways and osteoblast activation (Kohrt et al., 2019). Longitudinal studies demonstrate significant mitigation of age-related sarcopenia through progressive loading protocols (Peterson et al., 2021).

D1 Athletic Training: Cognitive neuroscience research validates deliberate practice methodology for neuroplastic optimization (Ericsson & Pool, 2018). Longitudinal cohort studies demonstrate superior skill acquisition trajectories with structured periodization protocols (Issurin, 2022).
