Jo-Ann is an amazing therapeutic yoga instructor and just overall a wonderful person. Her class has taught me more about the therapeutic and spiritual aspects of yoga than I have ever learned in all the years I did the usual types of yoga classes. Her approach is deeply personal, and has helped me become stronger physically and mentally.

“Jo-Ann is real and down to earth as she shares her knowledge and experience as applicable. This is the second time I work with her. I believe for her, teaching/coaching is not about her but about how the subject matter relates to each student/ learner individually. ”
“My husband and I have taken yoga classes with Jo-Ann D’Alfonso for over four years. We started out taking private lessons with Jo-Ann for at least one year before we felt ready to join a group class. We feel much more flexible and we live without pain. Jo-Ann doesn’t just show us the yoga positions, she gives us the theory behind everything and makes everyone feel very much at ease. We really feel that we are part of this community that is our yoga class. It certainly has been a positive change in our lives. We are very loyal to our yoga practice now”.
