Feel Calmer in Your Mind and Stronger in Yourself

Having moved into the area, I had been looking for a new yoga teacher for some time. I had just about given up on finding someone suitable for me when I came across Jo. That was almost four years ago and I am still attending Jo’s classes.

Jo is a supportive, good-humoured teacher who creates a safe space for any level of ability.

Classes are well structured. There is adequate time to bring yourself into the room, leaving the cares of the day behind. Moves follow to warm up your body. Transitioning into postures where you can challenge yourself, or not, depending on your ability and how you feel on the day. There is never any pressure to do more than you want but rather a supportive environment if you want to give it a go.

The relaxation at the end of the class rounds off the session and leaves me feeling serene as I float off home knowing that I will have an excellent night’s sleep.

I’ve been coming to Jo’s Zoom yoga classes since the beginning of the first lockdown in 2020 and I absolutely love them.

Even when lockdown relaxed, and face to face classes resumed, Jo continued to provide online Zoom classes for those of us that work long hours and find it more convenient to do a class in the comfort of your own home.

The yoga classes help with both my mental wellbeing and the ongoing lower back pain I have been suffering with. Jo is mindful of this in all the classes I do, either a group class or 121. She is conscious of all abilities in the room and tailors each class perfectly for us all. I find the classes both relaxing and energising. I do a lot of road cycling and Jo has taught me how to stretch both before and after a ride which has helped massively with my strength and flexibility. Thank you Jo I look forward to the challenges and benefits each class brings.

Jo’s teaching is intelligent, spiritual and joyful!

Jo is nurturing, her classes are educational, non-competitive and a safe space Emphasis is on using proper positioning and breathing techniques, within individual capabilities but with gentle encouragement to challenge the body if possible. Practice is always followed by a guided meditation and a chance to reflect, relax and important to ask questions.

After practicing yoga with Jo for three years, I feel physically stronger, mentally more relaxed and focused in my everyday life. Jo is warmly recommended as a practitioner.
