Hello
Welcome to Serendipity Yoga, where wellness starts with a single breath and occasionally the reminder that you’ve been holding yours for no good reason.
I’m Janice Duffy, a Prince Edward County local and the owner of Serendipity Yoga. My work has evolved over the years, rather like my understanding of what “good posture” actually means. You’ll find me guiding at my studio in The Armoury in Picton, at the Wellington Legion twice a week, and working privately with people in their homes and other community spaces across the County.
In other words, yoga has become a bit more mobile, much like the rest of us.
Life is full. Often too full. And somewhere between the errands, responsibilities, and the general “I’ll get to that later” list, time for yourself tends to quietly disappear. My role is to help you put even a small part of that time back where it belongs.
Whether you’re joining a group class or working one on one, each practice is designed to support healthy, sustainable movement for your body, mind, and spirit. No pressure to perform, no expectation to be flexible, and absolutely no need to know what anything is called in Sanskrit. Just thoughtful movement, steady breath, and space to reconnect with yourself in a way that feels accessible and real.
I also guide meditation practices that offer a simple way to pause, reset, and step out of the noise for a while. No special skills required, just willingness.
My approach is grounded in meeting people where they are. That might mean adapting movement for injury or mobility challenges, supporting long term wellness goals, or simply helping you feel a little more at home in your own body.
Helping you find healthy movement, your way.
I’d be honoured to welcome you into a class, a private session, or one of the many community offerings I’m fortunate to be part of across Prince Edward County. Come as you are. The rest we can work with.
My Story
I came to yoga the way a lot of people do. I was looking for something that would balance out a fairly active life. At first, I was drawn to the physical benefits. Coming from a movement-focused background and having just completed my first half marathon, I quickly saw how yoga could support strength, flexibility, and injury prevention. It turned out to be one of the most effective forms of cross-training I had ever found, even if I didn’t immediately appreciate the slower pace.
What started as something I used alongside other training gradually became something I built my practice and teaching around. I deepened my studies, trained as a teacher, and eventually realized I wanted to share yoga in a way that felt grounded, accessible, and useful in real life, not just on the mat.
Over time, my teaching has expanded into what I now call Functional Fitness. These classes focus on building strength, improving mobility, and increasing range of motion in ways that directly support how we move through daily life. It’s less about achieving ideal shapes and more about helping people feel steady, capable, and confident in their bodies, whether that’s carrying groceries, getting up and down from the floor, or simply moving with a little more ease.
A significant part of my work is also dedicated to healthy aging, which naturally weaves together movement and mindfulness. This is not about trying to stay young, but about staying present, aware, and connected to your body as it changes over time. The practices support strength, balance, and mobility, while also encouraging a calmer relationship with the aging process itself. Mindfulness plays a key role here, helping people notice how they move, how they breathe, and how they respond to everyday stress. The goal is not perfection or performance, but steadiness, clarity, and a sense of ease in both body and mind.
These days, my work continues to evolve, but the intention stays the same. Keep it simple, keep it practical, and keep it human.
I look forward to meeting you on the mat, wherever you are in your practice, and working together to support movement, awareness, and a little more ease in everyday life.
