🕗 7:00am – Vinyasa
A flowing, strengthening practice to build focus, and clarity. We move deliberately, with breath steadiness leading the way.

A body weight circuit class designed to get you up and moving in all directions. No special equipment required just you and your body and a willingness to work with what you have.

🕥 6:45pm – Mat Pilates
A grounded, intelligent mat class focusing on strength, mobility, and control - supportive, accessible, and deeply effective.

All classes are taught live online, with options to modify and meet your body where it is.

When your nervous system has been shaped by urgency,
stillness can feel unfamiliar.
Even threatening.
If you learned early that safety came from staying alert,
usefulness, productivity, or holding everything together,
then rest doesn’t register as relief —
it registers as risk.
This isn’t a personal failing.
It’s a nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do.
Rest is not something to earn.
It’s something to relearn — slowly, with support, in small doses.
You’re allowed to soften.
You’re allowed to pause.
You’re allowed to be valued without proving anything.

Saturday Morning Practice — Online with Jo
There’s something steady about a Saturday morning practice.
No rush. No fixing. Just showing up and moving in a way that supports the week ahead.
This Saturday’s online timetable:

A grounded, intelligent mat class focusing on strength, mobility, and control - supportive, accessible, and deeply effective.

All classes are taught live online, with options to modify and meet your body where it is.

A Week of Full Moon Practice.
A perfect start to the new year.
This week’s classes sit under the influence of the full moon - a time that naturally heightens sensation, emotion, and awareness.
Rather than pushing or producing, these practices accept the need for quiet.
They are supported, steady, and spacious, offering the body a place to land and the nervous system room to soften.
We’ll move slowly.
We’ll rest deliberately.
We’ll allow space for the breath — without asking it to do more than it needs to do.
This is a practice for anyone feeling full - of thought, of effort, of life - and needing somewhere to pause and breathe.

🌕 Book online
The 2026 online timetable with Jo is now live, and this full moon week is woven into the schedule.
Come as you are.
Let the body be held.
Let the breath arrive in its own time.
Quiet is not absence - 
it’s where integration happens.

Yes things are changing a little around here.
JO ANGWIN MOVEMENT THERAPY
ABOUT ME
I’ve been teaching movement for over 25 years.
Yoga, Pilates, strength, mobility - and the quieter work that sits underneath all of that.
What I teach now looks different to what I taught all the way back at the beginning.
Not because the fundamentals changed- but because I did, life did - we all do.

Alongside decades of movement teaching, I trained in yogic philosophy, I was an art therapist in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and am currently studying counselling. That lens shapes how I teach: with attention to nervous systems, emotional load, and the reality that bodies carry experience.
This isn’t therapy through exercise.
It’s movement taught with care, structure, and respect for the whole person.
I work with real bodies in real lives.
People navigating stress, change, injury, grief, rebuilding strength, or simply wanting to feel more at home in themselves.
I believe consistency matters more than intensity.
That strength and softness can coexist.
That you don’t need fixing - you need time, support, and good instruction.
This is a new iteration of my work.
Simpler. Steadier. More honest.
If you’re here, you’re welcome.
Stay tuned for there IS more coming.

Alambana- take the support you need. Find the foundation. Work for a steady base. Sustain. Cause. Reason.

Hi out there,
I’ve written something.
It’s called These Hands. It’s not quite memoir, not quite fiction — but it is true, in the ways that matter.
It’s a quiet story about survival, grief, love, and what it means to keep going when no one is watching. I’ve traced my life through what my hands have held, built, and let go — and in the process, I think I found a way to say some of the things I’ve never been able to say out loud.
It was hard to write, and harder to decide to share. But I believe stories are meant to be shared.
If you’d like to read it, you can download it here. It does have a small costs of $8. Part of which is for the hosting platform 🤍�

It’s just a short PDF, about 2,200 words — something you can read in one quiet sitting, or return to whenever you need it.
Thank you for being here, and for letting me place this piece of myself in your hands.
Joanne

When you download These Hands, you’ll receive a beautifully written, 2,200-word PDF that you can read in one quiet sitting or return to again and again.This is not a typical memoir. It’s a lyrical work of prose, drawn from memory, imagination, and emotional truth.Through vivid scenes and tender ...
