Jo has a love and appreciation for Bhakti Yoga, cultivated through her studies with Manoj Chalam, Sean Johnson and the Wild Lotus Band, and Gaura Vani. 

As a certified Yoga Therapist, Jo is trained to work one-on-one with individuals to help with a myriad of conditions such as back pain, depression, anxiety, and more.

Jo’s practice informs her teaching. She’s found that everyone benefits from learning and practicing coping skills to help manage personal stress. She greatly values and teaches stress reduction techniques including posture practice, meditation, focused breathing, and yoga nidra in her yoga classes. 

A certified professional ski instructor Jo loves to ski and share her passion for the sport with others. A lifelong learner who subscribes to experiential education, Jo finds that a balanced combination of physical activity, being in nature, practicing the different limbs of yoga, and eating well, leads to a spiritual, mental and physical life of health and happiness. She loves to share these practices with friends, family, and individuals who are in search of healing and happiness.
