Portrait of Jane Majendie

The Teacher

A lifetime in movement

Jane Majendie has spent her whole life in movement. She took her first yoga retreat at the age of four and was soon invited to lead adult classes. She went on to earn her Tang Soo Do black belt in just two years, a record that still stands, and became one of the most decorated competitors the sport has known.

She opened her first martial arts school at sixteen and was twice voted Worldwide Instructor of the Year, the first Tang Soo Do teacher ever to win the award twice. Alongside martial arts she trained as a yoga, Pilates and Callanetics instructor, a masseuse and a Reiki master.

Today she lives and teaches in Orkney, where the wide northern light and ancient standing stones shape a practice built on strength, stillness and deep attention to each person she works with.

The Method

The Majendie Method

One intelligent system, drawn from a lifetime of disciplines.

The Majendie Method brings everything Jane has mastered into a single, coherent approach to movement. It is precise without being rigid, gentle without being soft, and it meets you exactly where you are. Whether you are returning to exercise, refining a lifelong practice or looking to move well for decades to come, the Method builds real strength, lasting flexibility and a genuine sense of calm.

In their words

What it is like to train with Jane

  • If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience competing at the highest level, whose physiological knowledge is up there with the best, look no further. Jane has it all and more. Training with her is a pleasure, never a chore, and she really listens.

  • Jane is a diamond of a trainer. She is extremely passionate, with amazing technique, and she focuses on the mental side as much as the physical. An absolute specialist in her profession. I cannot recommend her enough.
