Jo Davey - Yoga Teacher

About Yoga & Jo

Whilst living in Sydney Jo was introduced to Ashtanga yoga, and on her way back to England spent time under the tuition of Sri K. Patthabi Jois and his grandson Sharath in Mysore, India.  She completed teacher training with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2006 and soon after trained with Jo Manuel at the Special Yoga Centre in London.  Five years later, whilst pregnant with her first baby, Jo trained to teach pre-natal yoga. 

Jo has experience of many styles of yoga; Ashtanga, Sun Power, Yin, Restorative, Hot Yoga and for the last ten years; Jivamukti Yoga, under the guiding hand of Andrea Kwiatkowski.  Jo is also trained to teach Yin yoga; a wonderfully quiet style of yoga. Her teaching draws upon all these influences. As you can tell, Jo is committed to ongoing training!

Jo’s practice continues to grow with her, as life takes its twists and turns. Yoga has provided her with a strength and comfort ever since she first tried a class, and she looks forward to sharing the benefits of the practice with you. 

Yoga offers a means of maintaining physical and emotional well-being in our busy lives.  Yoga links movement with the breath with the aim of bringing us to a state of concentration and calm.  Physically it can improve flexibility and strength, and mentally it can provide us with a welcome method of relaxation and stress management.  

All classes include a series of yoga postures, (asanas) and breath work (pranayama) and conclude with a nice long relaxation!

I believe that Yoga in some form is suitable for everyone, whether you have special needs, are pregnant, have a specific ailment or are drawn to it simply for health & fitness reasons.

By making yoga a part of your life, you may become aware of subtle changes in your approach to life.  I know that my practice gives me a sense of well-being and inner strength.  I hope I can help you find your own benefits from this wonderful practice.

EVENTS AND WORKSHOPS

YIN YOGA FOR THE HEART   Friday 1st March 2019 7-9pm Kirton in Lindsey Town Hall, DN21 4LZ

This evening will focus on heart-opening poses which counteract our tendency to close the front of the body during winter. Freeing up our heart meridian is associated with joy and happiness, and naturally works the chest, shoulders and arms.

Yin is a quiet yet challenging style of yoga. All poses are floor-based and we stay in them for between 2 and 8 minutes, which enables deep release of connective tissues that can restrict our range of movement.

A quiet, meditative evening suitable for all levels.

£15 per person

FULLY BOOKED Contact Jo to be added to waiting list.

YIN YOGA FOR SPINAL HEALTH               Friday 15 March 2019 7-9pm        Central Wellness, Lincoln LN3 4NL

The perfect transition from week to weekend. Yin yoga is a floor-based practice where we remain in poses for between 2-8 minutes, allowing the deep connective tissues of the body to release. As we rest in each pose the challenge is to stay quiet in the mind as well as the body.

This will be a deeply relaxing evening of poses designed to release tension in the spine and lower back, infused with gentle pranayama and philosophy.

No experience necessary, all welcome!

£15 per person.  Suitable for all levels of experience. Book at centralwellness.uk

Our asana practice will be accompanied by cleansing pranayama techniques, relaxation and meditation, as well as a look at the ancient kriyas; yoga techniques which cleanse the internal organs.  We’ll follow our practice with a cleansing fresh juice and a light snack.

A morning to cleanse body and mind, leaving you restored and invigorated.
