Janice Gates

Janice Gates, co-founder of Metta Journeys, discovered the powerful practices of yoga and meditation while living in Asia in 1988. For the past nineteen years, Janice has continued to explore both soma and psyche and how the body and mind reflect and affect each other, both individually and collectively. She is author of Yogini, The Power of Women in Yoga, founding director of The Yoga Garden in San Anselmo, California, and President of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She currently teaches at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, as well as at conferences and retreats around the world. In her teaching, Janice draws on her studies in yoga, Somatic Psychology, and mindfulness meditation for a practice that enlivens the body, opens the heart and guides us home to our deeper wisdom. She lives in Marin County, California with her husband, Will, and their five-year old daughter, Sacha Grace. For more about Janice go to www.janicegatesyoga.com.
