Nickname: Jo

What’s your story?

I began my yoga practice over 20 years ago when I stumbled into my first yoga class with a friend. I walked in looking for a good sweat session but I walked out with way more. What was initially a "work-out" for me, soon became a "work-in". I realized that every challenge and every joy I faced on the mat directly related to my own life. I soon saw that when heart openers were tough it was because I I didn't want to have a tough conversation. When my hips were tight it was because I didn't want to deal with something painful. At the very moment that I realized that Yoga wasn't contained to the four corners of my mat, my entire life changed. My relationships changed. My priorities shifted. Everything felt connected. And that's when I realized that I wanted to share this practice, both on and off the "mat". My home practice is in the top five loves of my life. At home I get to work on myself. I get to share this practice with my children. And through teaching I get to share it with the world. It's truly the most beautiful and rewarding ripple-effect that I've ever been a part of. You see, no two practices are alike. But your practice and my practice, they're exactly the same.

What are your biggest passions in life?

Yoga, my children...and absolutely everything in between!

How do you plan on changing the world?

I don't want to change the world. I just hope to be a part of it in every way I can. And I hope to raise my two boys to always show up, no matter what
