Jo is a fantastic yoga instructor and guided me with ease to find my level of ability. No pressure\, my pace and a fun retreat. I highly recommend you put Jo on your bucket list !!” \n“What a wonderful experience at the Mana retreat. This was my second time attending Jo’s retreat with three friends\, and we could not fault her retreat. Jo is extremely intuitive and naturally understands what we want: a mixture of yoga and breathwork it’s like a big hug and pure bliss. It is just what the doctor ordered\, and we will most certainly be back.” \n“This retreat was just what I needed – it was the perfect length\, in the perfect location. Jo’s teaching style is so inclusive and non-confrontational. She brings yoga back to what it should be\, which is enjoyable and what is comfortable for you. I would definitely come again!” \n\nThe Teacher – Jo Monaghan\nHaving spent decades in the corporate world\, I understand how stress impacts us and the benefits of yoga\, meditation and breathwork to create a balanced life.\nI also understand how hard it is sometimes to switch off and just “be”\, and my retreats are designed to help you do that\, in a relaxed\, inclusive and positive way.\nI believe that Yoga is all about connection\, to oneself and to others. Yoga has always uplifted me and enabled me to thrive and become more in flow with life\, able to meet its challenges with greater ease.\nI am a 500Hr RYT certified yoga teacher\, the style I primarily teach is Vinyasa Flow\, which connects breath with movement to calm the nervous system\, create body awareness and improve energy flow.\nI love teaching yoga and have expanded this to creating wellbeing retreats in epic locations that are intended to help you ‘disconnect to reconnect’ with Nature\, yourselves and each other. \nFeel free to contact me directly\, or for more information\, check out my website: www.jomonaghan.com/wellbeing \n\nFor more information\nWebsite contact info:\nwww.jomonaghan.com\nemail: jo@jomonaghan.com\ntel: 021 547 245 \n
