Jo is a North Carolina native and has been a passionate yoga practitioner since the 1970s. She is also an avid hiker and wild plant enthusiast. Jo believes that yoga is a journey, the greatest of a lifetime.

It has helped her:

• Rehabilitate her injured knee after surgery.
• Balance the stress of running her own small decorative painting business for 30+ years.
• Generate the energy and clarity of mind to be a single mom to a wonderful son.

Fun fact: to reduce her carbon footprint, using timber cut from the land, local contractors, and a lot of sweat, Jo upcycled a small log barn in rural Rockingham county, where she lives and continues to support local business and a more sustainable lifestyle.
