Joanne is certified as a teacher in three styles of yoga and as a yoga therapist. She is now teaching only Svaroopa® Yoga because she has found it to be the most effective in relieving pain and releasing tension in both body and mind. It also facilitates going deep within the self.

"I have had back problems for years and several back surgeries. I have tried other types of yoga but these worsened my back pain. Svaroopa Yoga has made a difference for me in terms of better flexibility and decreased pain. 
"When I moved to Charlottesville, it took me a while to find a yoga teacher I liked as much as my teachers in Atlanta. The search ended when I found Jo Wolf and Body Bliss Yoga. Jo is a wonderful teacher. She’s patient, warm, careful and caring. She creates a very safe space for learning, practice and growth.
