Meet Jan Hoath
Jan Hoath’s life path has been guided by her joy and passion for people along with skiing and snowboarding. Her personal journey into mindfulness began 30 years ago as a teenager. Depressed, she discovered a book by Jon Kabot-Zinn about meditation and never looked back. Graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Jan studied anthropology, spiritual psychology, and international studies. Following college, Jan followed her joy to Aspen where she earned her Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) Level III certification.
She took her education and on-mountain coaching to develop a personal business, and for over 15 years now Jan has been teaching, coaching and guiding hundreds of leaders into greater mindfulness and ultimately true joy through her propriety process called The Happiness Prism TM. Currently, Jan lives happily in Jackson Hole with her husband, two children, and Bernese mountain dog.
Jan has extensive experience working with people in groups, private coaching programs, workshops, seminars, retreats and beyond. As a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Joy Mentor to Leaders, Speaker and Author, Jan brings to the Jackson Hole Mindful Camp vibrancy, innovativeness, and expertise to masterfully bring to life the magical experience of skiing/riding in a state of full mindful flow.
"This camp takes the spirit of Jackson Hole to a new level as participants reach new heights in their skiing/riding, while discovering a deeper connection with themselves, the mountains and the present moment where the organic outcome is pure joy; something that will stay with them forever, and truly, a gift that keeps on giving.”

A pivotal point in my life!"
