Man on the Mat Yoga class Tuesdays

Dave Warr

For the past 3 months the Man on the Mat class on a Tuesday evening has been a must for me. Great location, first class tuition from Jane and great banter with the guys. Best of all I feel so much better for taking a regular yoga class.

John de Garis

Thank you Jane for a great series of lessons. I really enjoy the mix of styles of yoga. I always come away feeling I’ve had a good workout but also more supple and relaxed from the stretches and breathing. I recommend it to others to give it a try. 

John  inderwick

A very good way to end the day and build up flexibility 

Tim Lowe

This was my first yoga class in a long time.  Jane was friendly and welcoming. She described the movements, expected sensations and reasons clearly throughout. I felt comfortable throughout. She definitely understood the difference between male and female approaches to exercise and yoga directionally, and conveyed how the male only class should undertake the movements. 

Thank you. I really enjoyed the class and will happily recommend it. 

Tony Moss

Jane is great her class caters for all abilities. 

Ruskin Snow

Inflexible and in my fifties, the idea of yoga filled me with dread, notwithstanding the benefits it can offer me.  Doing this with a similar bunch of top blokes, makes this more tolerable and Jane pitches the exercises just the right side of (un)comfortable.  Don't get me wrong, I still don't enjoy it, but I couldn't enjoy yoga more! 

The Man on the Mat lessons are a great opportunity to relax and practice yoga in a lovely venue. Jane is a great teacher, taking the lessons seriously but injecting a bit of fun too. 

Chris Le Bideau

Excellent instruction in a relaxed environment. Would highly recommend.

barrie duerden

Jane runs a fantastic session of Man on a Mat every week. An oasis of peace in a hectic life.

Nigel Cashin

An amazing hour of yoga with a very experienced and patient instructor, Jane. Thoroughly recommend it for beginners or for the more experienced. 

charlie fischer

Jane is a great instructor - the class is very relaxed but still a challenge. The best possible way to spend an hour on a Tuesday night! 

Scarlet did a great job standing in for Jane.  Credit to Jane for organising it too

Terry Wright

Wow what a fabulous venue & welcome! Jane puts you at ease and as a complete novice gives you confidence to do as well as you are able without any pressure. 👍

Barrie Duerden

Really good session last night.  Arrived a bit stressed, left feeling calm and loose!

Great session last night!  Lots of child poses and one pigeon plus a bit of balancing...perfect!

Alasdair Milroy

What an amazing location overlooking the neighbouring islands. Jane and the other men were really welcoming and the space was safe and perfect for those out of practice. Great way to ground and drop from head to presence in my body

alasdair mclaren

Lovely session with really clear guidance, defo come back

Colin Ferbrache

Excellent yoga class in a lovely “studio room” with terrific views across Castle Cornet and the other islands. Jane pitches her yoga at an ideal level for us men with good explanations of the moves, including the advantages of breathing and how to get the best of the various stretches.

Great to be back at Manonamat! Have missed Jane getting my creaky body to get more flexible!….. and have time to really relax 😌 

Great slow/cold/Yin session last night.  Loved it!

Man on the Mat Yoga 

Lovely early evening session that was sympathetic to my creaky body😀. Felt great afterwards - much more bendy!

Marco Tersigni

My wife introduced me to Yoga, and so far I’m loving it - Jane is a great teacher and gets the most out of her class👍

Excellent session by Jane last night and view was amazing from the Bathing Pools - feeling it a little today 

Andrew Birrell

Jane is a fabulous teacher and her sessions are excellent

Grant Hardy

great call for me as a beginner, well explained and great help.... i feel betteer allready with less back pain! 

Yoga is for men too!  Straight forward Yoga postures which will enhance  every aspect of our daily life. 

This Vinyasa class has no set sequence and  varies each week,  allowing  you to  practice at your own pace and intensity.  Poses are linked to the breath in a flowing sequence to bring focus and connection to the body and mind and keep you present.

Suitable for all levels.


Wednesday Warriors

Suzanne Still

Melanie  Burns

Being new to yoga I was made to feel very welcome.  Jane described the movements exceptionally well.  It was challenging but very rewarding.

Melanie Burns

I thoroughly enjoy Jane’s  Wednesday Warriors class.   Every week is different.  It’s relaxed and  friendly. 

Julie Alberg

Very happy to recommend this welcoming and supportive class. With my back issue, sometimes new classes are a challenge, but Jane is so thoughtful and knowledgable. She gave us lots of options so we could all practise in the way that suited us best. Thank you Jane. 

Wednesday Yoga Flow

Clare Chilton

I thoroughly enjoyed Jane’s yoga session this week - a perfect start to January! Thank you!

Through the winter season we slow down our yoga practice and time time to rest and restore our bodies and mind with Yin & Yang Yoga

An Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga class, where we link dynamic postures with the breath to create heat and energy.   Bringing life and vitality to the body and  and a deeper sense of connection to self.   With the option of a sea swim in the bathing pools afterwards...simply the Best way to start your day!





Sunrise Yoga  -  Fridays 

Louisa Bush

Jane’s classes are always brilliant. A perfect way to start your day in a beautiful setting. Challenging but also relaxing. I try never to miss the Friday morning class as it completely sets me up for the weekend. Thanks Jane! 

Julia Lewis

An amazing start to the day, Jane is a supportive, knowledgeable instructor who guides you through the class. Great location. 

Patrick Damant

The best start to a Friday morning you can find that doesn’t involve staying in bed. 

Sandrine Harris

I love the Friday yoga  morning flow in the BP such a glorious way to wake up and relax before the final day of work for the week. Jane is a brilliant teacher who gently encourages us to bet better. Go rocket!

I have been attending various of Jane's classes for the last 2-3 years and find them invariably excellent. Her Sunrise yoga sessions are the best, spectacular setting and challenging classes, which are becoming more challenging as she stretches (!) us within our envelopes. Keep it up please!

Vanessa Cloarec

I have been attending Jane's class since last summer, and have really noticed the difference with my body and my mind.  She is an excellent teacher and talks you through the yoga positions. I can now do the crow, and hopefully with Jane's help do head stands by the end of the year. Also what a location to practice in, by the sea.

nathalie chandler

Fabulous energising class with an amazing teacher. The view on the sunrise and sea is the cherry on top! Best way to start the day. 

Jane is able to tailor her classes for all abilities.  I have made progression through all aspects of my yoga practice thanks to her careful nurture. 

After a month of Hatha yoga it is a real pleasure to come back to Janes’ freestyle rocketry.  🧡 

Judy Eldridge 

What a brilliant class !! I’m very much a ( creaky ) beginner but I just loved this class  Jane puts you at ease immediately reassuring that it isn’t a challenge but for each individual to go with their capability but I did feel a sense of achievement too !! 
And what a truly beautiful location on a perfect morning looking across to Castle Cornet and Herm with kayaks and paddle boards floating by …so tranquil -thoroughly recommend 😃




Sheila  Barnard 

Great Yoga class to start the day at a fabulous venue 

Paula Jenkins

Tanya Hames

I love going to Jane’s Friday morning sunrise yoga session. It’s suitably challenging but Jane is so encouraging and motivating. Highly recommended! 

Judy Eldridge

So really experienced the  sunrise this time from dark to blazing sun ☀️great to see !  You’re put through your paces but all at your own speed and ability-it’s a great class Jane  tailors it for everyone ….  it’s so uplifting as we head for Winter !!! 

Paula  Jenkins 

Jane is one of my favourite yoga teaches . I love the yoga she teaches . I love the view from the bathing pools while we do yoga we can watch sun rise ❤️ 

Keeley Orlandi

Rocket style Ashtanga expertly tailored to your own level.

Fantastic class and wonderful guided session by Jane - my first Yoga back after 2 year hiatus and this was exactly what I was searching for. Highly recommend! 

Love Jane’s yoga , she is very good and experienced, her yoga just flows , the view is incredible and I love the way she lays hands on you at the end and sprays a lovely calming room spray . 

Erica Kiaie 

A fantastic way to start the day! Thank you. 

Astrid  Salazar 

Hannah Wilyman

Jane is super welcoming and instantly puts you at ease. She tailors her sessions to all abilities. If I lived in Guernsey, I would go to her classes regularly. 

Always fresh.  Every class is carefully curated to the room.  Dogma free expertly led rocket yoga.🚀

Jelena Kovalevska

"I had long dreamed of morning yoga at sunrise, and my dream came true! JANE is a wonderful instructor and provides energy not only to the body but also to the mind. I recommend it to everyone without exception. Х 



Will miss this Rocket Yoga fun if Jane ever stops offering this class.   A classic energy building style that brings bags of endorphins. 

I have been attending Jane’s classes for a few years now … amazing start to the day … she is always so positive , knowledgable & encouraging . Love the venue x

Even in the winter this is such a magical time to practise. Watching the sun peep out behind the clouds is always the best way to start the day. And Jane’s yoga always leaves me feeling energised and relaxed at the same time. 

Pia Easterbrook

A memorable experience! The view is magnificent. The sunrise was pink.  It felt surreal. The Yoga (my first class ever) felt amazing. Jane the teacher was so kind and encouraging.  The class set me up in calmness for the entire weekend. I hope to visit again soon. Thank you. 

An amazing class in an amazing location … love the emphasis on developing your own practice . Beautiful location and space .

Rose McDowell

Great session out stunning views!! Wish I could attend every week but was just visiting! 

Jane’s classes always deliver, no matter your level of experience there will be assistance and kindness to guide you through the asanas. 

Practice yoga watching the sun rise over the sea.  This Yoga class will energise your body and awaken the mind ready for the day ahead.

Located at one of the islands most beautiful settings overlooking the bay and islands of Herm and Sark.  This  class will ease you into the day with a gentle Yoga practice, including breath work (pranayama) floor based postures which are held longer to allow the body to enjoy greater flexibility and mobility benefits.  Finishing with a long relaxation to complete this blissful experience.

In the warmer weather this class will expand out to the terrace.

Slow Sunday Yoga  

Jo Huxtable 

This class allows me to explore postures and stretches at a slower pace which is ideal
for a gentle Sunday morning after a busy week.  The beautiful setting looking out to sea perfects whole experience!

Annabell Beddow 

Lovely friendly vibe , can’t wait to go back 

Pip de Garis

Love Jane’s yoga classes! There is always a lovely atmosphere and I feel calmer and stronger afterwards, particularly the Sunday morning slow flow at the bathing pools. The location is wonderful and Jane has an infectious positivity that you cannot fail to be boosted by! Give it a go!

Paula Teasdale

I attended my first Sunday morning yoga with Jane last week. What a perfect way to start my day. The sun was shining, the location was stunning, a cool breeze in the studio and relaxing music in the background. The slow paced deep stretching session left me feeling amazing. Lots of options so suitable for all levels. It was so good I have already booked for next week. Thank you Jane. 

Emy Delamare

Jane’s classes are fantastic as is the venue she uses - the Swallow Pavilion at the Bathing Pools. It’s an idyllic place to practice yoga. Jane offers a variety of styles, from strong Sun salutation routines at sunrise to gentle slow yoga on a Sunday morning.  Both equally nourishing and always with a lovely group and vibe. 🙏

Sophie Shand

Jane’s yoga is simply heaven. It’s the perfect combo of mindfulness and practice with the added delight of her healing touch during Savasna (rest-time).  Jane is also a personal trainer with expert knowledge of the body and how to tone and strengthen and relax it. Highly recommended. 

Another glorious Sunday slow yoga, this time outside under the sky. Just bliss. Can't wait for next week post Pink Ladies Walk. 

Amelia  Holden

Magical experience doing Yoga with such a stunning view. Really enjoyed Jane's class, perfect for a relaxing sunday morning.

Jane is so welcoming and supportive. She creates a beautiful space and practise. 

Such a lovely class. Perfect way to start a Sunday. 

Susan Alford

I’m a complete novice but slow Sunday yoga has been so enjoyable. I’m never made to feel I can’t do it or less than the more accomplished practitioners and it is a wonderfully calming environment in the most lovely setting.

Such a great class. Perfect blend of stretch and relaxation. 

Another restorative and inspiring practice. Really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Bev Lavenne

I enjoyed the yoga session .
Jane is a very good teacher and easy to listen to.
Great setting for a class

Another excellent class. Great yoga practice with such a beautiful sea view on a sunny spring day. Just perfect.

Such a gentle and positive practice. Perfect for a Bank Holiday weekend. And, as always, expert and thoughtful instruction. Thank you Jane. 

Anita Kilby

Jane is the most accomplished yoga instructor on island , her approach, manner and explanation of each pose is exemplary . For a novice like me it’s been an amazing journey to finally understand and be able to partake in yoga practice that  really is for all . Thankyou & namaste 

Another wonderful practice. This was my first on the terrace, enjoying the morning sea air , the yachts sailing past and the thoughtful sequence that Jane had prepared for us. Perfect. 🙏😊

Sophie Kouloumanou

Fantastic class, lovely settings,  Class was just what I needed after being away from doing yoga for a long time. Teacher was brilliant, she calming and very experienced in what she was doing . Highly recommend 

Bonvin  Laura 

I really enjoyed the course! The exercises can be adapted to suit different levels. Jane was very caring and knowledgeable. Don't be afraid to go even if you don't speak English well, Jane clearly shows every move. I recommend :)

Such a welcoming and thoughtful class. Challenging but also so relaxing. Perfect for a sunny Guernsey morning overlooking the bay. Thank you Jane.

Lorraine Allen

Great class - perfect start to Sunday morning ! 

Gaynor Laird

Superb. Slow and relaxing and a beautiful setting. Thanks do much

Another great class. The perfect combination of active postures and gentle relaxation, all taught with patience, deep knowledge and good fun. Thank you, Jane. 

Another lovely session this morning - a bit more dynamic with balances, pigeons, dogs and children...all in a very inclusive and welcoming environment!

Pia Easterbrook 

The gentle yoga class was wonderful on Sunday. A friend from Surrey joined for the session. The description she came up was delicious….. it was that good. Thank you for a wonderful hour - it was treasured. 

Lovely gentle class. Perfect way to start a Sunday. I really enjoyed the slow but effective poses. Whatever your level of experience, Jane is always so good at making sure you are practising correctly, with her own very special combination of knowledge, kindness and fun. 

Wendy Ensink

I throughly enjoyed my yoga on Sunday morning with Jane.  Gentle flow and good stretch was just what I needed on Sunday morning. Jane is very good and careful in making sure that you are in the right position for the exercise. Which I feel is so important in learning my bodies ability. 
Thank you 

Kerry-Anne Marais 

Beautiful view and relaxing yoga set me up for the day. Thank you! 🙏

Celeste Smart

Sue Alford

Always a wonderful class with Jane, whatever your capabilities. Slow Sunday yoga was even more special this week as we were outside enjoying sunshine and the sounds of the sea.  Must be one of the very best places to practice and a lovely way to start Sunday.

A perfect way to ease into your Sunday with gentle moves and breathing techniques  that provide full relaxation of the body and mind.
