Jo’s Teaching…

My highest intention in sharing the teachings of yoga is to help to facilitate the sense of ‘wholeness’ that leads to happiness, peace & freedom.

My teaching emphasises starting from this place of wholeness rather than striving to attain it, I aim to help you realise you are already there!
Of course there is real work to do, but pointing toward an idealized experience that you must attain is not yoga…the practice in itself brings the rewards. Yoga is about your journey not some faraway destination.

I come from a long family line of teachers, including both of my parents.
I am extremely grateful for all of the wonderful teachers I have encountered in my life. Perhaps the greatest learning that has come to me through my practice is that ultimately we are our own teachers & all that we seek outside of ourselves is already contained within.
I encourage students to engage with & trust their internal teachers. Embracing the practice without expectation, in the spirit of curiosity and openness.

As my own yoga journey continues my journey as a teacher also continues to develop. I have been practicing for 14 years & this led to a natural progression to teaching 6 years ago. I regularly attend workshops & further training with my teachers.

I am always inspired by the work of International Yoga teacher Donna Farhi & work with her whenever I have an opportunity. In August 2006 I was part of Donna’s assistant teaching faculty at her Advanced Yoga Studies & Teacher Training in Vancouver, Canada.
Other talented teachers I have had the pleasure to work with include Eric Stewart, Angela & Victor, Dona Holleman & Judith Lasater.
Closer to home, I work with Scaravelli inspired teachers Liz Warrington & John Stirk on a regular basis.

Through working with both Donna & Judith I have incorporated the deeply transformative practice of Restorative Yoga both into my own practice & my teaching.
