Meet Janet Waynesmith, owner of Just Breathe, Talisman Bay’s yoga studio.

She has lived in California all of her life, but in Talisman Bay for seven years. One day of relaxing at the end of the pier and she was hooked for life. Opening Just Breathe just two blocks from the beach has changed her life in refreshing ways. When she’s not teaching a class or curled up with a book at Talisman Bay books, she can usually be found practicing yoga just feet from the surf. There’s something magical about the sand, the water, the spirit of Talisman Bay is just so alive, so beautiful.

Just Breathe has grown quickly over the last six years. When she first opened its doors, there were only two teachers aside from herself and classes were small. Now, the team has grown to nine who have varying backgrounds making it possible to offer yoga for everyone as well as special events involving live music and dance. Class size has grown, but so has the schedule. Seven days a week morning, afternoon and evening.

Coming to Talisman Bay was Janet’s best move…well, aside from marrying the love of her life, Randy, but he’s a whole other story!

If you’re in the neighborhood, stop by Just Breathe, have a cup of herbal tea, say hello and…well…Just Breathe.
