Yoga & Meditation
'Come into stillness of being and flow with your life'
'Come into stillness of being and flow with your life'
*Asana (postures) *Pranayama (breath) *Meditation * Chanting
We have all heard of yoga, but what does it really mean for our energy, for our spirit? Yoga means to unite, to join. To unite the whole of ourselves and rest in the pause, the space and stillness within. Yoga knows everything and everyone to be flowing with the same pulsation of energy that is love and peace.
For Jo Yoga is the greatest tool and teacher in her life. It is something we can directly experience for ourselves. It helps to quieten and still the mind and the body whilst developing strength and clarity. It allows us to once again go with the flow of life and nature. It is an amazing way to increase energy levels and get in touch with the spirit within each and every one of us.

The mind settles in, or towards stillness, the body finds greater ease, strength and comfort, the attention is gathered into one place and the seeking of truth is directed inwards towads the Self, the true Self. And there it is, Yoga - the unity of oneself. It is a journey and there is no one path but this ancient science provides opportunities for experience, growth, deeper understanding and wisdom on this journey towards unity.

Heart Of Living Yoga Sri Yantra

And life is yoga. The moment to moment living, surrendering, breathing and experiencing. It isn't just what happens on the mat or in a class, although that is a great place to start. It is about everyday life. It is so much more than the journey on the mat, we take the wisdom gained there out into the world. |
Jo's teaching incorporates sequences of asana (postures) pranayama (breath) and meditation into a flowing style that encourages breath with movement and becomes a moving meditation into stillness. Classes and 1:1 sessions open and close with stillness, chanting and meditation. Philosophy is gently woven into the class too for a deeper experience and more complete practice. Jo graduated as a Heart Of Living Yoga teacher which has beautifully and profoundly deepened her own connection, practice and teaching.
Jo's teaching is authentic and rooted in the ancient science and art that is Yoga. The teachings are open and available to everyone no matter what your experience, beliefs, faiths and outlook on life.
With her physiotherapy background Jo can help support and encourage students with injuries or ongoing physical complaints so that they feel safe, confident and empowered both in class and in their life.

What others say...
'My individual yoga sessions with Jo always bring me gently back to my self. Jo's wonderful generosity of spirit, along with her warmth and compassion are helping me to explore and listen to my physical, emotional and spiritual bodies through developing my yoga practice. Above all, it is the importance and beauty of the breath that, with Jo's caring wisdom and support, I trust more and more to light my life's path. Namaste' Helen B
'Jo Pitcher, yoga superstar...
I always look forward to this yoga class (despite my lifelong attachment to my sofa). Each week Jo unfailingly creates a warm, supportive environment that gently challenges me to keep growing in confidence and ability to both energise my body and still my mind. Each class is a journey towards strength, peace and relaxation with a sensitive guide and teacher. Whatever your level of ability this class will make you feel good.' Maddy
'I was feeling very vulnerable, low and in a drained emotionally exhausted state. Now my general happiness and well being are back within me and I feel more in control of my life... Years of back ache are virtually gone and my chronic insomnia is starting to improve. I highly recommend Jo to anyone!' Jenny
'I have also been lucky enough to experience Jo as a yoga teacher, and her classes are some of the best I have ever been to. Combining the breath, moments of stillness and beautiful flowing movements, Jo's classes helped me to advance in my personal practice in a safe comfortable way which never felt challenging or intimidating. She is a wonderful guide both on and off the mat to helping you be more in tune with yourself and your path.' Adeola
'I will be forever grateful that Jo started me off on my journey with yoga - she is an excellent teacher and her classes gave me a brilliant grounding in learning to link breath and movement.' Clare H
