Jane Schleyer - Somatics
Jane discovered the benefits of Somatics in 2015 having an interest in overcoming health issues
brought on from having Fibromyalgia and fatigue caused by stress.
The gentle movements brought relief to both the mind and body that it inspired her to learn more and to eventually train to become a Somatics Movement Coach with Lisa Petersen of “Living Yoga” in Dublin.
The Somatics Education world is vast, so Jane continues to explore and is currently training with Brian Siddhartha Ingle and Gayatri Schriefer of “Living Somatics” along with continued practice with other teachers.
Jane found that with regular practice, Somatics gave her a lift to living her life in a more functional way hence she created “Lift2Life” to introduce the movements to others.

About Tanja
Tanja Thomas Childen's Yoga Teacher and Trainer

When her first daughter was born with Congenital Heart Disease in 2005, Holistic Practices & Yoga became integral to both herself and her daughter as a way of life. Since being a second time mum during the pandemic she has focused her own practices and her teachings even more on supporting emotional and mental health as well as physical wellbeing. Tanja knows from experience that by bringing yoga and wellbeing practices into our daily life we can more easily manage the challenges we face every day and become more balanced, relaxed and happy within ourselves.
What she loves most in her work is to empower children, parents and families, to integrate these wellbeing tools and enjoy them as part of their daily lives to feel good in body, mind and soul.
