Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones

Jo Ann is a wonderful instructor, she is very knowledgeable and takes the time to relay this information to her students. She always treats everyone with respect and is never judgmental. She is admired, respected and embodies the life of yoga.

Jo Ann is a wonderful presence to follow in yoga; her anatomical knowledge and attention to detail serve to deepen the practice and help it keeping it all grounded. Additionally, Jo Ann is quite open to discuss life experiences and the ways that yoga has impacted them. All in all you couldn't ask for a better guide!

Joanne is a excellent, experienced, knowledgeable yoga teacher.
I look forward to attending her classes again.

Jo Ann taught a seminar which I attended. She is incredibly knowledgeable on the "nuts and bolts" aspects of the human body, a subject of which I have struggled as a yoga instructor over the years. She was clear and concise, friendly and personable. I have used the material from the seminar as a reference many times. If she taught again in my area again, I would attend..

Jo Ann has been my instructor for years! She is very knowledgeable about movement, body structure, ways to eliminate pain/discomfort, and is considerate of your individual needs. She always has something new & fun to add to the session so it never gets boring! All around awesome person & teacher!

Jo Ann is very friendly and eager to help you learn, she is a natural teacher and i always felt that she was knowledgeable and skilled in her field. She is patient and helps students to the best of her ability, always with a smile :)

Jo Ann was my yoga and anatomy teacher for a yoga teacher training I attended in Costa Rica.

Jo Ann encourages students at all levels to learn the benefits of Yoga. Her friendly and warm personality invites beginners as well as those at higher levels of experience.

Jo Ann is a superior teacher and a very knowledgable woman. I have her to thank for molding and shaping my life and career!

JoAnn LOVES to teach and share her knowledge, energy and passion with all her students. She is an awesome lady!

I participated in a workshop with Jo Ann in Costa Rica. She was insightful and experienced. Her knowledge of anatomy is particularly excellent.

JoAnn was one of my first yoga teacher and truely inspired me to love yoga and to find myself in my practice..she is very knowledgeable about the body physically and how it relates spiritually to your practice ... I have sinced moved away but because of her I continue to practice yoga on a regular basis and will be ever grateful for her instruction and above all her friendship ... Miss her classes very much as she was always positive and on point with her feed back
One of the BEST

I never enjoyed yoga as much as I did with Jo Ann. I had a bout with Breast Cancer and have been away for awhile. Need to get back to it!

Jo Ann's commitment to body work and yoga is like none other! Her knowledge of anatomy and background in dance creates for a very thorough and well-rounded practice that is adaptable to all skill levels, is focused on precise movement and adjustment and is ultimately, a VERY fun class to share!!

Joann is an expert and establish author on body movement. She teaches yoga worldwide. She was my personal trainer for about 19 months. Her knowledge of yoga and body alignment makes her a one in a million teacher. If you are offered an opportunity to work with her , jump at the chance. You will love it.

JoAnn is a highly qualified instructor. Not only is she a GREAT teacher , but a genuine person and friend to many of her students. She truly loves life and loves what she does.

Always a joy to be in one of JoAnn's classes. She is a very experienced yoga teacher who brings a light and energy to her teaching.
Have also been on her retreats, which are so relaxing, and a delightful time with other women.

JoAnn has taught me so much, in life, dance, and yoga! She is an excellent teacher for both novice and experienced students. Her knowledge of the body is unsurpassed!

Joann's always smiling & her warm cheerful spirit radiates. Love her style of gentle yoga always reminding students to listen to their own body and do what feels comfortable. A true kindred Spirit:)

I have recently completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training with Jo Ann and Irum Naqvi. Right before the training was to begin, I had become mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically drained dwelling in a dark place. In the beginning, there were many weekends where I did not think I was going get through the training. With the support, encouragement, knowledge, and guidance of Jo Ann and Irum, I was able to finish my training capturing a renewed spirit and physical well being.
