 Jody felt called to the yoga path in 1980 after meeting master Kripalu Yoga teachers, Swami Kripalu and Yogi Amrit Desai.
Since then, Jody has continuously taught and fostered the growth of yoga in the Atlantic region, introducing hundreds of people to yoga over the past 28 years.
Jody received a 500 hour Professional Kripalu Yoga Teacher certification and a 500 hour Amrit Yoga Teacher certification.
She has also explored and/or received training in several other yoga traditions including Bikrims, Iyengar, Art of Living, Asthanga, Anasura, Siddha Samadhi and Shambhala — but remains grounded in the Kripalu meditation-in-motion shaktipat/kundalini approach.
Jody is the author of a sold-out yoga book called The Creative Yoga Companion and creator of Blissful Awareness audio tapes.
Over the years, she fostered the growth of yoga in the region by organizing and promoting the visits of more than 15 well-known guest yoga teachers to the Halifax region, and initiated several yoga-related events including three successful 'Art, Spirit and Yoga' celebrations and a large millennium yoga celebration in 2000.
She has led many workshops and retreats, and in 2000 founded Atlantic Yoga Teacher Training, the first registered 200 hour yoga school in Atlantic Canada. AYTT has graduated 150 yoga teachers in small intimate groups to date.
Jody feels privileged to be a core member of the AYTT 500 staff.
