As the days grow shorter and darkness settles in, let's ignite our internal light. Please join me for a Yoga Nidra class on Monday, December 9 from 7-8:15 PM at the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church. This class will be offered both in person AND in the comfort of your own home via Zoom.
Setting aside time to rest and unplug is vital for our well being. Yoga Nidra is designed to help us relax deeply. Put on your cozy clothes and set up your space to allow yourself to be fully supported as we settle into a deep rest that is both nurturing and illuminating.
Normal class pricing applies. Let us know here if you would like to take the class on Zoom. Use your class card or come as a walk-in. This will be our last class of 2024. Monday evening yoga will return on January 6, 2025.
I'm happy to say that I'm no longer testing positive for COVID. Yippee! Our Monday evening class will be back in session again starting September 30. Hope to see you then!
My COVID tests are still coming back positive, so I think it’s best to cancel class for Monday, September 23. I’ll return to teaching when my tests are no longer positive. For future class status, check back here before heading out. Thanks for your patience!
Unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID this week and will need to cancel our class this Monday, September 16. Class will resume the following week on September 23. Thank you for your patience!

Hope you are enjoying these remaining days of summer weather and squeezing out every last bit of sun and fun. I’ve had a great summer filled with adventure and travel, but as summer winds down it's time to step back into a more regimented routine.
I’ve scaled back my teaching schedule from past years. I guess I’m entering into yoga retirement! I’ll still be teaching my Monday evening class in Mt. Lebanon which returns on September 9. I’m always available for private sessions or just a “one off “refresher course to make sure your practice is alive and well.
Hope to see you on the mat soon!
In gratitude,
Janet
Keep your yoga practice alive and well over the summer. I have over 200 recorded classes and each class is different so you’ll have lots of content to choose from. Mix and match a flow class with a moving meditation class. Whatever suits your mood. Sign up for one month or sign up for the whole summer. Cancel any time. View the recordings as often as you like. Content changes every 30 days. Want more info? FAQ's here
All Janet Tant Yoga classes are on summer break. Classes will resume after Labor Day. Have a safe and relaxing summer. See you in September! xoxo Janet

Lebanon Christian Church are on-going and pre-registration is not required. Please note, there will be no class on March 18 & 25. Class will resume on April 1.
The Monday evening class is offered as a hybrid option. It's your choice, in person or livestreaming on Zoom from 7 - 8:15 PM. The hybrid is a nice option on those cold winter nights when you want to practice with community, but would like to do it at home, in your PJ's of course!. :))

Please note, there is no class on March 25. These classes will be in session through May 20, 2024. Walk-ins are welcome and pre-registration is not required.
I have some important news to share. After 20 years of teaching yoga at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center, I'm announcing my official retirement. It has been a great run and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Many of you have been coming to my Rec Center classes for a good part of those 20 years and it feels like family. But everything has a season, and for me, it's time to move on and make room for others. I will continue to teach my Monday evening class at the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church, located at 367 Cedar Blvd. Additionally, you can always enjoy Janet Tant yoga classes through the Monthly Subscription Program or private sessions.
There will be no Monday evening yoga on November 13, 20 and 27. Classes to resume on December 4. Our last Monday evening class of the year will be on December 11. Wishing everyone a safe and restful holiday season.
Please note the following schedule changes:
There will be no Monday evening class at the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church on October 23. Classes will resume on October 30.
The next session at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Department, October 31- December 5 has been cancelled. I’m sorry for this change, however Monday evening classes are still being offered at the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church.
Labor Day is around the bend. And that means that Janet Tant Yoga classes are back in session. I'll be teaching a new class at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center beginning Tuesday, September 5, from 1-2:15 PM called Slow Meditative Flow. This all levels class consists of a breath centering warm up, and then a wide range of gentle standing and seated postures designed to increase strength, balance, and flexibility.
Monday evening classes return to the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church on September 11 from 7-8:15 PM. Something new this year…I'll be offering a streaming option on Zoom for this class. Now you can practice in the comfort of your home or in person, it's your choice! Head on over to the Classes page for more details.
Hope to see you on the mat soon!
Warmly,
Janet
It's that time of year when Janet Tant yoga classes get ready to go on to summer break. Our last class, at all locations will be a special practice of Yoga Nidra.
This soothing session will begin with gentle movements that help untangle chronic patterns of tension and holding in the body. From there, we'll move onto our backs for a mini version of Yoga Nidra. This ancient technique is a systematic process of deep relaxation that can help remove stress and internal tension.
My last Tuesday afternoon classes at the Mt Lebanon Recreation Center will be on May 2. My last Monday evening class at the Mt Lebanon Christian church will be on May 22. This special Yoga Nidra class is open to all at both locations and regular class pricing applies. I hope you can join me!
Monday evening yoga classes (aka bedtime yoga!) continue at the Mt. Lebanon Christian Church through May 22. Class meets every Monday from 7 - 8:15 PM. The class that was originally cancelled for May 8 is back on again. The church is located at 367 Cedar Blvd in Mt. Lebanon. Walk-ins are welcome and pre-registration is not required. This is a Slow Flow class to include breath, stretch and balance. It will help unwind the tensions of the day, getting us ready for a good night's sleep.
New session begins at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center on March 7. There will be no class on the days of the Senior Luncheon*. Moving Meditation is at Noon and Afternoon Slow Flow is at 1:15PM. Pre-registration is required if purchasing the session. Walk-ins are always welcome.

It’s the new year. The hustle and bustle is behind us. For many, the holidays can leave us feeling depleted and frazzled, especially during a time of year when nature is asking us to rest. I find the best antidote is settling in to the spirit of contentment. This may seem odd at a time of the year when we’re asked to set new goals. But from a yogi’s perspective, contentment is a noble goal. It’s the ability to remain centered and peaceful no matter what is happening.
Santosha, the second niyama of the five niyamas of yoga, is generally translated to mean contentment. Contentment can be thought of as a state of acceptance, balance, and being at ease, no matter what life dishes up.
Cultivating a breath practice that focuses on our exhalation is an excellent way to experience contentment. Lingering in the space after the exhale, we find there is no need to rush, no need to get somewhere or do something. It’s a welcome pause where we can just be, where we can feel the inward pull of contentment. Now that’s a goal to embrace any time of the year.
Classes are back in session on January 3.
Wishing you and yours abundant blessings in 2023.
With love,
Janet
All Janet Tant Yoga classes will be on winter break starting the week of December 19. Tuesday classes at the Mt. Lebanon Rec Center will resume on January 3. Monday evening classes at the Mt.

As we get ready to wind down our classes for 2022 please join me for a Practice of Light. This nyasa practice will make a connection to the light that is outside of us, as well as the light that is inside of us. The teachings say "this is the light that is beyond all sorrow." I'll be teaching this practice in my Mt. Lebanon Rec Center classes on Tuesday, December 6 and at the Mt Lebanon Christian Church on Monday, December 12. Regular class pricing applies. I hope you can join me!
