In martial arts we say ‘When the time is right the teacher appears’. Having found one of Jodie’s Yoga Vibe adverts I kept hold of it for nearly a year and thought one day I’ll try this thing called Yoga. Coming from a martial arts background I felt yoga would be something I’d do when I got older or just if I wanted to do a little bit of stretching :o)
After my first lesson I wish I’d started it years ago. It has taken over as my main passion and I believe this is down to having Jodie as my teacher.

She kindly took the time to answer and clarify a lot of questions I had surrounding yoga and I agreed to try a session with her. Having had pneumonia and various other injuries from combat arts I was a little concerned that I would struggle with a class so I tried private lessons. By the end of that first session she had me hooked.....actually it may have been midway through :o)

Jodie’s fun attitude makes the lessons most importantly to me enjoyable as well as being difficult, testing, constantly challenging but all the time smiles can’t help but appear on my face. She constantly encourages me even when I feel like I am having a bad session.
Anyone who knows me well will confirm nothing gets me out of bed at 6am!! I will tell you honestly, if I have a yoga lesson with Jodie arranged I find myself wide awake and waiting for that knock at the door!! That is how great a teacher she is and how much I look forward to doing yoga with her.
If you get the chance to train with Jodie in class, at a retreat or privately trust me you should jump at the chance as she has a deep knowledge of various styles and shares her have fun attitude throughout each session. But if you don’t I won’t complain.........I’m happy to keep her all to myself ;o)
She is one of the best kept Yoga secrets in Essex.

I have attended classes and a retreat run by Jodie and they were both excellent. Her Vinyasa flow classes are great fun with a good workout in a controlled style with bacground yoga information included. She provided a fantastically organised retreat and was great company to be away with.
