Jane House Jane holds a B.A. in Psychology from Georgetown University and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute where she completed her thesis titled “The Yoga of Embodiment.” Academic graduate studies in depth and Jungian psychology mixed with decades of hands-on experience working with bodies as a yoga teacher have grown in Jane the skills, tools and language to facilitate a holistic healing process for others. As a teacher, Jane continually noticed that “yoga was not enough” to regulate a nervous system and affect the experience of being stuck, uncomfortable or shut down.

Only when individuals took the time to connect more deeply and authentically to all parts of themselves, developing a full and wonderous inner life, were they able to relax more fully into being. In 2001, Jane founded a yoga school in San Francisco, The Yoga Loft, that became her home for teaching and learning for nearly a decade. For twenty-five years, Jane has studied with master teachers Angela Farmer, Tony Briggs & Sofia Diaz. With time and experience, Jane has unfolded a practice in somatic psychology that works to enliven one’s inner life, relieve stored tension and grief, and wake up one’s most intuitive and self-healing processes.

Raquel Bueno (Yoga Therapist, Viniyoga Facilitator, EYRT500, YACEP, Yin) is a lifelong student and dedicated teacher of yoga, with over three decades of deep practice and study. Rooted in the classical Viniyoga lineage—passed from Krishnamacharya to his son, Mr. Desikachar, and then to her teacher, Chase Bossart—Raquel carries forward this tradition with reverence and authenticity. In the same vein, as a Yoga Therapist, Raquel approaches the challenges we face with attention and care, addressing a person, not a problem. She experiences life’s twists and turns as an opportunity for insight into relieving suffering and returning to a state of balance.

Alongside her devotion to yoga, Raquel has cultivated a long-standing Zen Buddhist practice, receiving her Buddhist precepts (Jukai) in 2002. The interweaving of these traditions has shaped her teaching into a tapestry of care, presence, and deep connection, creating spaces where students feel both seen and supported. As a multicultural Mexican-American, she embraces the philosophy of “allowing” to inspire students of all identities and backgrounds to step into practice as they are and to forge a more intimate connection with spirit.

Raquel is unendingly humbled by the profound impact of yoga and by students who practice with her—they inspire her to approach every class, workshop, and conversation as an opportunity to learn. Both a guide and a seeker, she is continually shaped by the teachings she shares and the ever-unfolding experience of being alive.
