Jano Cohen teaches the Alexander Technique and T’ai Chi Ch’uan in Wynnewood, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia, and conducts classes and workshops throughout the greater Philadelphia area. She works with students of all ages and occupations. She was certified as a teacher by The Alexander Foundation, (now called “The Alexander Alliance”), in 1990. For several years she taught on the faculty of two different massage training programs: The Ariel Center for the Healing Arts and The Pennsylvania School of Massage.

She is a long-term student of yang style t’ai chi ch’uan with Maggie Newman, senior student of Cheng Man Ch’ing. She has an M.F.A. in dance from Temple University and a B.A. in dance from Bennington College. She is a founding and teaching member of Alexander Technique International. 

Her teaching is informed by her experience of 22 years as a professional dancer and choreographer, 25 years as a therapeutic masseuse, and 10 years playing the violin and piano. She also shares her knowledge of how to recover from pain and loss of balance since she has successfully rehabilitated from multiple injuries and two ankle surgeries.
