About
Hi, I'm Jo. I've been offering personalized sessions in adaptive hatha yoga, functional movement and mobility training, nervous system resiliency and creative growth for 17 years. I support my clients in observing existing patterns of movement and thought and guide them through processes of personal re-alignment.
I am certified in Vinyasa Flow, Aerial and Katonah Yoga, as well as being a NY State Board Certified Mental Health Peer Support Specialist with extensive training in trauma support, injury recovery and adaptive practices for disability. I also have over twenty years of study in gymnastics and dance, a BFA in photography and will be beginning a Masters in Social Work in the fall.
I’ve taught thousands of private and group classes, led over 50 international retreats and have produced 100s of hours of on demand classes.
I offer customized sessions virtually and in your home (NYC only), as well as private retreats.
Please reach out if you would like to schedule a consultation. I look forward to speaking with you.
“(Rebecca) Jo has a way of connecting with her students that is real and supportive. Her classes make me feel safe and grounded in my body. It's like I have the green light, go to reconnect back to myself and what I value. I feel like I can really breathe again. " - Kristi, mentee + student

I highly recommend working with Rebecca Jo in any capacity (1-on-1, group, workshop, etc.). She approaches her work with intent, meaning, and purpose. The breadth and depth of her knowledge in various movement and breath work modalities are impressive. She is very knowledgeable about body mechanics, encourages working within your own physical structure and meeting your body where it is. During each class/session, Rebecca also encourages & creates space for fun, play, and exploration on the mat.
She provides very immersive remote yoga/personal growth experiences. It has been fantastic working with her these last couple of years! The level of cohesion, interaction, immersion, and thorough instruction that she is able to provide remotely/virtually is incredible!
I have thoroughly enjoyed AND learned a lot from her various workshops, themed class series, and private classes/retreats.
My mom and I did a private virtual retreat with Rebecca in 2021 from our hotel balcony and it was great! Rebecca seamlessly weaved everything together (e.g., joint stability/mobility, muscle activation, fun flows, exploring progressions, inversions, breath work, meditation, and use of journal prompts). She did a fantastic job tailoring the sessions to accommodate both of our levels of practice; I got to work on my inversions and mom learned fundamentals.
Rebecca is a highly skilled and talented teacher. She’s absolutely fantastic. 10/10 recommend.
Thank you for attending this Ted talk:)

Rebecca’s classes leave me refreshed and calm! They have significantly reduced my anxiety. Rebecca creates interesting and unique sequences each week that hold my attention. Her adjustments have taught me alignment and allowed me to get into poses that alluded me for years. I highly recommend taking yoga classes with Rebecca.

I have been working with Rebecca for almost two years now and it's become a weekly ritual I can't do without! Rebecca's unique style is calming while also being challenging and strengthening and she does an amazing job adjusting the class based on what is needed that day. She is a truly exceptional teacher who creates a safe environment to practice in whether it's a public or a private class, and clearly cares deeply about her work and her students.

I love working with Rebecca Jo. Her classes offer unique techniques for movement and breath work that always leave me feeling amazing, inspired, and eager for more. I promise you’ll learn something new, even if you’ve practiced for years. And if you are new to yoga she will be the perfect guide to lay down the foundation for a transformative practice. All the stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rebecca Jo has an incredible level of knowledge on the anatomy of a body. Add to that her innate ability to just see and know where your physical and emotional imbalances are in any moment. Then add her way of being able to explain everything you need to hear and do in the most simple, understanding, incredibly helpful form. Magic.
