What have you learned or how have you grown since becoming a YCC instructor?

Since becoming a YCC instructor, I have earned my RYT500 certification, completed multiple Yin Yoga training courses, and earned certifications for teaching students with arthritis and osteoporosis.

What are your current areas of interest related to your practice?

I am currently studying Energy Medicine online with Donna Eden. My favorite Yin Yoga instructor is Bernie Clark, and my current favorite mantra is “I am enough”.

What to expect in class: Jodie’s practice is fun, filled with laughter, a little bit of core work and with an emphasis on proper alignment. She believes in practicing yoga to foster strength between body and mind, and wishes to lead her students joyfully in this journey.

Jodie is a graduate of the Yoga Center of Columbia’s Yoga Teacher Training Program, and has been teaching yoga for nearly a decade. Jodie’s path to yoga came after ten years of training and teaching in martial arts, during a search for a practice less strenuous on the back and joints, and more calming to the mind. She is a retired professional high school teacher and values the journey and process of learning and teaching yoga.
