At Home with Jo

One of my favourite things about 'down time' is that I am never really down lol ... I am inevitably plotting a return 😁
As a teacher I put a lot of pressure on myself to keep things interesting, I stopped chasing trends years ago! What I offer is tried and true in my own personal journey and I teach it with confidence to benefit your journey!
The studio and the woman who share space with me aren't running from themselves, they aren't trying to avoid experiencing their body as it ages; they're looking to maximize their bodies as they age!
I don't know anyone wanting to rush old age, or excited to live in a failing body, embracing aging isn't about giving up, it is about honouring what the body needs to be it's best for the whole ride!
I'm 60 years old, the last 5 years have put me through the physical and emotional ringer, a blown out right knee in 2020, a frozen should over the winter of 2020/21, a blown out left knee in 2021, the devastating loss of my son in 2022, and the loss of my dad just this passed Spring!
My teacher Selena speaks of an Elder as someone that carries their limp well and tells their story without lies; and I feel that to my core! I love that I am continuing to expand on my education, that my curiosity hasn't dwindled and I am still always in awe of what my body has accomplished and continues to carry me through!
The June schedule has very limited spaces still available, I am so excited to be bringing a whole new set of yoga sequences to the TRX sessions, brand new aerial yoga flows, block parties and small ball offerings!
I have decided to curate a brand new 2 hour workshop for the Women's Wellness Series that will offer everyone a Movement as Medicine practice to take home and use as prescribed! Discover myofacial release, breath practices and the benefits of stillness!
If you're looking to join us in studio check out the schedule on the website and message me to book your spots!

Taking some much needed time to just Be… realizing I have done it; I have created a life that I don’t need a ‘holiday’ from ♥️
Intentional rest balances within on purpose experiential living to offer fuel to the creative process … allow, align, accept!

After a Winter ❄️ of isolation Thanks to Ron; Jake is now alongside his herd again ♥️

We’re all waiting for the return to pastures and lush green grass, but as we wait we’re at least hanging out together 🥂 The adjustments have been many over the last year but I think we’re finally settled in and my heart is so full!

Just a thought ...
No one tells the oceans or the trees or the mountains that they're too old. They talk of how powerful, how grounded, how awesome they are...imagine if we thought the same way about ourselves as we got older. Maybe then we'd realize how spectacular we are.
-- Becky Hemsley
Embrace the privilege of aging, unapologetically powerful, grounded and awesome ❤
🔮🥂
I am quietly working on an amazing story telling Women's Workshop ... imagine floating in a hammock while I spin you a tale, inviting you into your own story and letting you explore how you are staying small when you were cast to be the leading lady!
Coming in August

Have you started enjoying the tastes of Spring?
Finding a balance between enjoying things in the moment and finding ways to save the amazingness is always tough! I am super excited about a few new recipes including a rhubarb bbq sauce!
Fiddleheads, asparagus, and rhubarb ✔
I started with poplar bud for my healing balm (available now!) and today I am harvesting spruce tips ... for tea and while I'm not a big fan of the simple syrups made with sugar ... as is often the case you can find 'healthier' alternatives if you take a minute to look!
So a honey simple syrup (equal parts honey & water) will be brought to a boil and I will then add an equal amount of spruce tips and allow the whole mixture to cool and steep overnight! Tomorrow I will stain and jar the deliciousness and enjoy!
I will also be freezing fresh tips - simply wash and pat dry then freeze on a baking sheet and transfer to bags when frozen ...then I can enjoy this taste of Spring in January!
Why am I finding ways to eat Spruce Tips?
They are an amazing source of vitamin C, essential minerals, antimicrobial, they support the immune & respiratory system and they are anti-inflammatory! If you're joining me for Restorative Yoga tonight ... we will be enjoying Spruce Tip Tea with Honey!
