About Jo 

Jo first found yoga as a teenager and in her early 30’s she decided to deepen her practice, enrolling on the Vajrasati yoga teacher training (Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Plus 500hrs). She completed her training in 2009 and became a senior teacher in 2018.

In her classes Jo likes to explore the building blocks of movement – finding fluidity in the body before coming into asanas (yoga postures). Everyone moves at their own pace, in whatever range of movement that’s available to them. Props (blocks, bands, bolsters and chairs) are used in class so that everyone can come into postures without losing connection with the breath and in a way that is most beneficial to the body.

About Vajrasati Yoga

These modern, postural-yoga based classes are suitable for everyone from complete beginners to experienced yoga practitioners. The class incorporates classical yoga postures and variations on classical asanas (postures). The asanas are taught with a strong emphasis on breath and energy awareness, resulting in deep relaxation, calmer mind, healthier body and the cultivation of a deeper connection with ourselves and the world.  

Vajrasati classes also incorporates yoga philosophy to explore the rich traditions of its spiritual practice, and so it's more than just stretching!

The class ranges from restorative to more dynamic postures and props are used when helpful to make postures available to all no matter what movement is possible within the body.  Props are also included for more restorative supported restful practices. Generally, postures are taught individually (with an emphasis on the rest space in-between as part of the practice) but some flow work is occasionally incorporated into the class.
