Yoga & Ayurveda with JoJo

Yoga is empowerment; yoga is community; yoga is love. Yoga develops personal empowerment through a deeper connection and understanding of Self—connecting the dots of mind, body and breath to create a more complete understanding of who we are and what we are truly capable of on and off the mat. Yoga nurtures community by fostering empathy for and connection with our fellow humans. By creating and nurturing personal and interpersonal connection, yoga envelops joy, freedom and unity—yoga is love.

Jo-Jo started practicing yoga in January 2010 while she was in college. A co-worker recommended she give “hot” yoga a try as a challenge, so she signed up for Bikram-style “Hot 26” and hot power vinyasa yoga classes out of a sense of curiosity and a desire to live healthier. After that first class—and first “yoga high”—she was instantly hooked. However, after a few months of practice Jo-Jo noticed there was something more to yoga than just physical health and profuse sweating; she noticed the time it gave her to move inward and quietly explore self-inquiry. Quickly she decided that yoga was going to be a permanent practice in her life.

In April 2014 Jo-Jo completed a 250-hr Yoga Teacher Training program at Asheville Yoga Center under the guidance of Stephanie Keach, and in December 2018 she completed 450 hours of her 600-hr Ayurvedic Health Counselor program with Mas Vidal of Dancing Shiva Yoga & Ayurveda. Furthermore, Jo-Jo’s now enrolled in Asheville Yoga Center’s advanced studies 300-hr Yoga Teacher program to complete her 500-hour certification as an advanced practitioner. As a yoga teacher & ayurvedic counselor, Jo-Jo’s aim is to move students—and herself—on the path of self-inquiry in order to discover their highest Truth, and she encourages students to seek liberation from what is holding us back.

Jo-Jo teaches hatha-vinyasa & restorative hatha yoga classes from an Ayurvedic approach to create balance in the body, peace in the mind and unity with the soul. Her hatha-vinyasa classes are dynamic, vigorous, playful and creative; her restorative hatha yoga classes are grounding, relaxing, centering and peaceful. Yet whether she’s teaching hatha-vinyasa or restorative hatha classes, Jo-Jo always guides students back to gentle, steady witnessing of their own body-mind-spirit connection through cultivating subtle inner awareness and developing a sense of curiosity, courage and compassion for their efforts.
