Yoga with Jo - All Welcome

Jo Longhurst has been teaching Iyengar Yoga for over 25 years. After attending a beginner's Iyengar Yoga course in London, she never looked back. With a lifelong interest in healthy living, movement and wellbeing, yoga came naturally to her. As her passion and commitment to the practice deepened, she undertook extensive teacher training and is now a fully qualified Iyengar Yoga Teacher.

Jo has inspired her husband and young daughter to embrace their own yoga journeys and continues to share her love of yoga with students of all ages and abilities.

As one of the Northern Beaches' few qualified Iyengar Yoga Teachers, and a founding member and co-owner of Avalon Yoga Co Op, Jo is passionate about making authentic Iyengar Yoga accessible to the local community. She teaches a variety of Iyengar Yoga classes each week, welcoming both beginners and more experienced students. Her classes focus on building strength, flexibility, stability and awareness through the precise and supportive methods that make Iyengar Yoga unique.

Jo also runs a weekly Yoga for Kids class in Avalon, helping children develop confidence, concentration, coordination and body awareness in a fun, encouraging and inclusive environment.

All yoga studios are fully equipped with the props required for Iyengar Yoga practice, although you are welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer.

In addition to regular classes, Jo offers Corporate Workplace Yoga, Private One-on-One Tuition, and specialised yoga programs for Schools and Universities. Through her Yoga To Go sessions, all necessary equipment can be provided, making yoga accessible and convenient in a variety of settings.

Jo has visited the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India, for intensive study and practice with the Iyengar family in 2011, 2013 and 2015. These experiences have deepened her understanding of the Iyengar method and continue to enrich and inspire her teaching today.
