Jo came to yoga from a background in art, finding it helped her to relax, enhanced creativity and reminded her to enjoy life. She combines knowledge from five years of personal yoga practice with formal studies (Diploma of Yoga Teaching, Soma Chi teacher training).

Jo teaches with compassion, creativity and a sense of humor. She teaches a dynamic and flowing style of hatha yoga, where students learn to listen to their bodies and move with the breath. Stimulating vinyasa sequences that enhance flexibility and strength are balanced with guided relaxation and meditation.

Jo currently teaches classes with eyoga, see www.eyoga.com.au, at the Alfred Hospital and St Catherine's School. She also teaches in gyms, Fernwood Prahran and Southport health club Port Melbourne. She also teaches small group and individuals.

Jo is in the process of building a yoga studio in Port Melbourne. Jo continues her art work, recent projects have included illustration of an instructional soma chi poster and photography and design for a pilates teacher training manual.
