What I speak about

  • Aerial Yoga for your Mind

    Learn how the aerial hammock can support nervous system regulation, sensory processing and mental health. We often see the physical aspects of aerial yoga celebrated in the media, but this practice offers unique ways to work with the mind, and even make meditation and yogic philosophy more accessible. Jo uses the frame work of Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga, evidence based research, and insights from over 20 years of yoga teaching to explore how we can use this practice to work with our brains as well as our bodies!

  • Finding your voice as a teacher

    Learn how to skillfully use language express yourself clearly, inspire your students and guide your class safely. Jo explains different cueing styles, trauma informed language, and supporting a neurodiverse group to make yoga practice truly accessible. This workshop supports you to guide with integrity, authenticity and clarity.

  • How do we honor Yoga's roots while meeting modern needs?

    Props like the aerial hammock can help to make the physical benefits of yoga more accessible to more people - but how do we ensure we are enhancing rather than diluting or appropriating Yoga? While this is a main theme of Jo's book Eight Limbs of Aerial Yoga, it is a life long question rather than easy answer, and in this presentation we examine yoga history and the modern teaching landscape through a social justice lens.

  • Aerial Yoga and Neurodiversity

    Learn how we can use aerial yoga to support nervous system regulation and sensory processing. The aerial hammock can provide a variety of sensory inputs from deep pressure and cocooning sensations. We can also work with the vestibular system through spinning, swinging and inverted movements. We can also use the aerial hammock to reduce visual distractions and provide a sense of personal space within the group. Jo shares how aerial yoga can actually make the benefits of yoga more accessible to diverse bodies and brains!

  • Moments of Self Care

    Simple and effective techniques that you can do at your desk, or any time you need a mindful moment. Learn yoga asana (movements) that you can do standing or sitting to relieve common cranky spots. Pranayama (breath practices) that can help with energy, focus and relaxation. Self massage techniques to ease tension in the jaw, and even eye exercises to reduce strain.
