Jo Kirsch

Jo has been practicing yoga for over 35 years and teaching for more than 25. A yoga therapist and seasoned yoga teacher, she has led yoga retreats for the past 20 years, guiding groups to inspiring destinations including Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah, Spain, Costa Rica, and Italy. Jo loves combining adventure with mindful living, beginning and ending each day with a nourishing yoga practice.

Her initial yoga teacher training was in Ashtanga Yoga with Beryl Bender Birch. Since then, Jo has pursued extensive continuing education and holds certifications in Adaptive Yoga, Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Yoga of 12-Step Recovery, Yoga for Traumatic Brain Injury, Yin Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Yoga Therapy.

Jo’s personal practice deeply informs her teaching. She believes we all benefit from learning practical coping skills to navigate life with greater ease and resilience. Her classes emphasize stress reduction and self-regulation through posture practice, meditation, focused breathing, and yoga nidra.

In addition to yoga, Jo is a certified professional ski instructor who loves sharing her passion for skiing with others. A lifelong learner devoted to experiential education, she believes that a balanced blend of physical activity, nature, yoga, nourishing food, and play supports spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Jo finds great joy in sharing these practices with friends, family, and individuals seeking greater peace, joy, and balance in their lives.
