Daily Routine
Jo teaches a soulful and deep dynamic form of Vinyasa Flow yoga. She is known for her unique creative sequencing of postures which helps to draw students safely beyond limitations and closer to their true potential and confidence through the ancient yogic system of asanas, mindful breathing and meditation with an approach of playfulness.
You’ll have a 2-hour morning practice where breath work/ pranayama unfolds into a fluid movement and dynamic yoga asana flow to awaken, invigorate and cleanse. Your evening practice will take on more of an introspective feel, 1 hour of gentle, calming flow to restore, healing with yin and restorative poses, meditation and deep relaxation. It’s the perfect opportunity to improve your practice and achieve your goals.
