About the Instructor:
Jane Barber is a nurse and adaptive sports professional with a passion for bringing healing through sports to people living with disability, injury or the effects of trauma. She has taught adaptive skiing with Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) in Breckenridge, Colorado for the past 17 years. Five years ago she had the inspiration to pursue yoga teacher training so that she could bring yoga to her adaptive skiing clients. She received her E-RYT 200 certification in May, 2016 from Yoga Roots in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Her yoga journey began over 20 years ago but did not become a central part of her life until she sustained an injury during the 2015-2016 ski season. Her yoga teacher training journey has brought her so many more opportunities than she could have ever imagined. In addition to adding yoga to her instructional toolbox at BOEC, she also teaches yoga with Spaulding Adaptive Sports on Cape Cod in the summer and Yoga Reach of Cleveland, Ohio in the spring and fall. She is delighted to be a part of BOEC’s entree into virtual programming during these difficult times by offering virtual chair yoga.
