Jansen Rouillard

Biography:

Jansen first found yoga as a student athlete who was looking for new ways to move and explore his body. While his yoga practice started out as something he did to find a competitive edge, over time, it has become a deeply personal activity of challenge and accountability balanced with grace and reflection. As a self-proclaimed busy-body, fitness and yoga have become intentional ways that Jansen take time and space for growth and change, and reminders that growth is not always visible or linear.As someone with a naturally rigid body type, Jansen is a strong advocate that yoga is for anyone with any lived experience in their body, and challenges folks to see past the aesthetics of postures to embrace their inner and outer strength.Jansen earned his 200 RYT certification in 2020 through CorePower Yoga and has spent the last few years teaching in-person and virtually at university fitness centers.When he is not on his mat, Jansen can be found traipsing the aisles of Trader Joes, walking his labradoodle Tucker, or playing soccer or pickleball.
