Episode Synopsis
This was one of my favourite episodes to date!J'anaki & I have a deep, rich & soulful conversation about her journey into the feminine mysteries, her deep spiritual awakenings through conscious cycling & connection to her menstrual cycle & how this awoken her womb wisdom & passion for teaching. We touch on the importance of Red Tent women's circles & how healing in community is a very important step in the personal & spiritual development journey. J'anaki shares some insightful wisdom about women & societies suppression of the womb & periods in general, and how this suppression has caused all the womb ailments & fertility issues that women are currently battling. We touch on her offerings & how she has brought this wisdom to the world through her Red Tent Facilitator training & the soon to launch SHE Academy.I encourage every single woman to listen to this episode, and to share it as far & wide as she can with all her mother, aunties, sisters, nieces & friends.J'anaki's yoga journey began in 2004 when she started her personal practice at the Sivananda Yoga Centre in London. After leaving the corporate world, she embarked on a soul-searching journey, traveling extensively through Asia, including India, where she had the opportunity to study with influential Yogis. This led her to complete a rigorous Yoga Teacher Training at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram in New York in 2008. Later, back in South Africa, she further trained under the Satyananda Yoga tradition with Swami Yogasaga.Inspired by her own experience with Pregnancy Yoga classes in Ireland, J'anaki founded Yoga Mama in South Africa in 2010, where she began teaching prenatal yoga. Over time, her work evolved to include the needs of modern-day women, focusing on womb space concerns such as menstrual irregularities, PMS, infertility, and womb-based trauma. She founded the Red Tent JHB in October 2016, a space for women to gather and share their powerful menstrual awareness and healing. This initiative has assisted in the healing of countless women. J'anaki's journey also involved training in shamanism, mixed movement martial arts-based yoga, post-natal, yin yoga, and more. She established The SHE Academy in 2020 and launched an NPO in 2023 to address Gender-Based Violence and Period Poverty, focusing on dignity projects in Johannesburg, South Africa.Currently, J'anaki's main focus is expanding her training and skills to the global market, aiming to reach and empower a wider audience worldwide.CONNECT WITH J'ANAKIIG: https://www.instagram.com/janakiashira/Website: https://janakiashira.com/Links: Josie's IG Sync-In Flow IG YouTube TikTok Website To become a coaching client: www.syncinflow.com/coachingList of offerings: https://www.syncinflow.com/offeringsRoot & Reboot FREE Course: https://www.syncinflow.com/root-rebootLiberated Womb Live Signature Program: https://www.syncinflow.com/liberated-womb
