Inhale Pittsburgh
About
Here at Inhale Pittsburgh, we offer Vinyasa style yoga classes from sunup to sundown throughout the week - and always a workshop or two on the weekends. Our team of teachers come from Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Hatha yoga disciplines and teach classes that focus on breath, movement, alignment, and meditation by incorporating their own unique knowledge and experience of the practice of yoga. Come to class to chill out, work out, rejuvenate, re-connect, or just have some good old fun. We want your yoga practice to be whatever you would like it to be. All you have to do is show up.
anna teaches a Vinyasa style class that focuses on both the physical and subtle body. Her students experience the flow of prana, music, and message set to the firm foundations of asana and alignment. Outside of regular classes, she specializes in teaching yoga to those who live with brain injury and PSTD. Janna is the owner of Inhale Pittsburgh, a Lululemon ambassador, and two-time published author of He Never Liked Cake and Move Feel Think: Yoga for TBI, PTSD, and Other Forms of Trauma. When she’s not on her mat or keeping Inhale Pittsburgh ship-shape, she is busy writing, discovering this cool city, or walking Mae Belle in the Mexican War Streets. And when it's warm out, look for her doing yoga on a paddle board or maybe join a SUP Yoga class she's teaching. Learn more about Janna at: jannahockenjos.com.
