I grew up in the beautiful Cape Peninsula, at the bottom of Africa, and fell in love with travel and adventure from a young age.  My career began in the hospitality and tourism industry and took me from cruise ships in Alaska, New Zealand, and the Caribbean, to overland adventures across Africa, South East Asia, India, and Nepal. These experiences opened me up to different cultures, philosophies, and ways of living—and ultimately, to my own path of self-discovery. It was also where I learnt the art of service. Yoga, meditation, and Eastern philosophy became the foundation of my personal journey. I completed a six-month yoga internship at a forest ashram with my teacher Viktor, studied sound healing with masters in Nepal, Cape Town, India, Bali and Spain and immersed myself in mantra, music, and Bhakti Yoga practices. These experiences inspired me to create Janet’s Planet, where I share the practices that have transformed my life.
