About Your Instructor
Janel Norton is an O2X Yoga & iRest Specialist and co-founded the Veterans Alternative, a non-profit organization designed to serve veterans experiencing trauma incurred while serving in the military by training the mind, body, and spirit to heal after returning home from military service.
She is also a veteran, having served in the U.S. Air Force as a combat photojournalist. She was also a press information officer and photojournalist for the United Nations, spending her early career documenting crises in Panama, Bosnia, and Liberia.
After 20 years as a photographer, Janel returned to school for her master’s degree from the University of South Florida. Facing a difficult job market upon graduating and discovering how yoga helped her maintain balance, she enrolled in a yoga teacher training program. Janel credits the leadership and work ethic instilled during her military training as a large part of how she formed her path from U.S. Air Force to business owner.
