Jodi feels that yoga has been her greatest teacher and gift in life. A part of her everyday life, the philosophical teachings and physical practice of yoga guide her interpersonal work; as well as underlie the foundation of her relationships and interactions with others. Jodi feels yoga has given her the tools to journey inward, to explore her relationship to Self and Spirit. Although adhering to the yogic path is the most challenging and humbling commitment she has ever made, the past 11 years have been the most awakening of her life. Yoga has given her a deep sense of purpose and connection to others. When she stumbles on the path (a daily occurrence), her mantra is “begin again.”
With a background in Iyengar, Vinyasa, and Ananda yoga—a gentle, devotional style of Hatha yoga based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda— Jodi draws from these traditions to create a fluid, strong, and meditative practice. Her motivation for teaching is to share the beauty and power of the physical and philosophical aspects of yoga, encouraging students to dive deeply inward, connect spiritually, and nourish themselves.
Jodi is currently teaching in Goa, India at the Satsanga Retreat Center offering yoga classes and retreats. She also offers several retreats and workshops in US, Italy and Switzerland. Please see the retreats page for the current offerings.

The practice offered is what you experience when you come to my class - a fluid, steady pace, delivered with gentle and encouraging guidance.
