Jana Olenio is the Owner and Founder of SUP YO Adventures. Jana
began practicing yoga in 2004 with the hope to reduce stress and
anxiety. She began teaching yoga in 2009 after yoga positively
transformed and healed her life far beyond her expectations. Her goal
since then has been to help others heal themselves by bringing the gift
of yoga into the lives of each student.
In 2012, Jana took her yoga practice to the water and became a
certified Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Yoga Teacher. She started SUP YO in
May 2012 in the Boston area where she teaches students how to practice
yoga on a paddleboard. The combination of yoga in nature along with the
added fitness challenge makes paddleboard the perfect place to practice
as it increases focus and concentration, increases balance and core
strength and connects one with nature.
Off the water, Jana continues to inspire others to get outside by
leading day hikes in the white mountains, weekend retreats throughout
New England and destination retreats worldwide, all of which combine
yoga with outdoor activities. Jana believes that no one can pour from an
empty cup and that self care is a requirement, not a luxury. She
believes that combining yoga with the outdoors is an important tool that
can help people gain clarity, refocus their energy and become grounded
& inspired so they can return to their daily lives with a full cup
and pour from it.
