The Yoga Teachings

"Let the waves of the universe rise and fall as they will. You have nothing to gain or lose. You are the ocean." Ashtavakra Gita

Jane’s House offers the teachings of Yoga that are based in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. At its core, the Eight Limb Path of Yoga is both an abstract philosophy and a practical method to assist those who practice with realizing their true nature and their oneness with reality. The practice addresses the inherent intelligence of being human by integrating the body, heart, and mind through utilizing all eight limbs. Ultimately, the body is the entry point into an inward journey whose aim is to shorten the distance between the head and the heart, so that all outward actions and participation with outer life take their cue from an active, awake, and attuned inner life. This is also known as Kriya Yoga: a form of self-inquiry, action, and surrender to a higher power.

The teachers at our studio have been trained in Yoga of “Action & Inquiry.” We build practices that are both safe and sustainable for all students.

It is our intention to provide a stable, safe, and joyful environment that is open to everyone, no matter your age, size, race or gender.

It is our desire to offer experiences that promote vitality and equanimity, combating the difficulties that come along with being human.

It is our goal to inspire, educate and facilitate a path of well-being.

It is our willingness to guide you with sensitivity, honesty, openness, focus and generosity by embodying these qualities as teachers.

It is our hope that you find a home at Jane’s House!

Jane’s House opened in January of 2002.

Today, the studio serves the St. Charles and greater St. Louis communities, integrating healing through Yoga, Ayurveda, Meditation, Holistic Workshops, Teacher Training, Reflexology, Reiki, Spiritual & Life Counseling and Sangha (community.) Jane’s House warmly welcomes new students each day. Additionally, Jane’s House is a Registered Yoga School with the National Yoga Alliance, and our teachers adhere to the highest integrity and quality of teaching.

One of the most common questions asked is, “Who is Jane?” Our studio was named in memory of Jane Householder.

Jane worked as a St. Charles County librarian for over thirty years and was instrumental in the lives of many people. She loved to support and guide others to find a more holistic approach to living well.
