How Sweet It Is
“Dream your dream, point your arrow, and go” states Jane about building the Nectar Yoga community. “Believe in something bigger than yourself on this planet. Surround yourself with inspiring people. But, most importantly, gather people who want to be of service to each other.”
Nectar Yoga has gone through a number of evolutions to become the thriving company we are today! We survived COVID and have refined ourselves over and again.
Having taught around the globe, Bahneman developed an eye for what a yoga studio might be like if it dropped the pretense, tended to the details, and created a fun, welcoming environment for all. Folks need not worry if they are new or uncertain; seasoned practitioners and newbies are valued equally; experienced teachers sit with their students, they do not stand above them. Clients are greeted by name, and the tradition of this ancient practice is maintained in a relaxed setting.
This is where building true connection is our deepest core value. The difference here cannot be explained, it must be felt – and we invite you to experience it for yourself!
In a noisy world, we choose to stay simple.
And more than just a yoga studio, our members create a powerful community.The benefits of yoga are well-known. So why aren’t folks taking advantage of something that requires only bare feet and a mat? Maybe because “yoga” can feel exclusive, even daunting. In response, Nectar Yoga embodies friendliness, simplicity and a down-to-Earth spirit.
