Honestly, looking back, I have no idea how I did it.Ħ years ago, while I was graduating my 200 hour teacher training I had a dream of teaching yoga retreats and opening my own yoga studio. That was the fuel that kept me going through 5am mornings. My visions were literally coming true in front of my eyes. “Don’t be surprised at how quickly the universe will move with you once you have decided.” I remember feeling so alive so unstoppable during the demolition and construction of my studio space. You know something is meant to be when everything falls seamlessly into place. But you’re simply shedding energies that no longer match the frequency of your destiny.” “When you are evolving to your higher self the road seems lonely. At the age of 28 going through all of this, I felt a lot of peers, who couldn’t and would never be able to relate, took my lack of presence personally and I was “kicked to the curb” quickly by what I thought were lifelong friends. When you step into your power and dedicate your time to the growth of yourself, lots of people start to shed from your life. I was, for the first time, stepping into my full authentic powerful self. At the same time, I was also breaking of a 7 year relationship, in which I had been engaged for the past 2 years. I knew I had a gift in the yoga world, but what to do with it? Go to Bali to do a 500 hour training, teach at a different studio….none of it really felt right. I was severely betrayed and discriminated against by my previous employer and had NO IDEA what I was going to do next. ![]() As a new business owner, I have learned that work doesn’t end just because you leave the studio. You’ve probably heard that if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life.

With a belief in love, karma, abundance, and community she encourages others to “take that leap” towards one’s dreams and desires. Jo has been teaching around the seacoast for several years now and offers an accessible class that’s balanced between movement and stillness challenge and rest body and breathe. Jo completed her 200 hour teacher training in 2012 with Jeff Peltz and Rae Lynn Stackpoole at Yoga on York and also became a Certified Child Light Yoga Instructor. Once the transformative magic of yoga surfaced, she knew it was something she had to share with others. For the years to follow, she sustained a consistent Bikram and Vinyasa Yoga practice, only to realize that there was much more to yoga than the heat, sweat, and physicality. Jo was hooked after her first yoga practice. With a loss of identity, she was eager to find something that could supplement the discipline, awareness, strength and flexibility that the gymnast lifestyle once offered. ![]() At the age of 12, her lumbar spine fractured meaning her gymnastics career came to a screeching halt. Jo was first introduced to yoga after suffering many physical injuries from being a successful, high level gymnast. Today we’d like to introduce you to Joanna Chipi.
