“Our world is a crazy place right now. We have all had to readjust in various ways. Yoga classes have moved from the studio to the internet. Though it is not the same as being with our beloved “JO,” you have successfully mastered the ability to give instruction, pay attention to those in the class and leave us with a gem or several.” —Susan
“I was in a slip and fall accident and had a lot of trouble walking. I couldn’t drive my car. A friend drive me to Jo’s studio weekly. I was wearing a tens machine and a back brace and still struggling to walk. Over time I no longer needed the tens machine or the back brace. Jo gave me back my life. She worked hard with me and I learned from Jo how to help myself. She’s a wonderful teacher.” —Rita L.
“I am so grateful for you and our online zoom classes during these trying times. Classes are wonderful because I know your voice and your instructions are the same. The familiarity is comforting and easier for these classes. I am learning to listen much more especially since my iPhone screen is small. I need that anyway! The hour goes by so quickly! The home practice class was exceptional. Thank you for going out of your comfort zone to set up zoom and teach in another realm.” —Cindy

“Joanne Boccassini’s yoga class is superb! She is truly knowledgeable and is very detailed in explaining the poses to her students. Her classes are very small, tight knit groups which are perfect for learning—we get 100% of her attention. I feel very safe in her classes. Her enthusiasm about yoga and her genuine interest in people’s well being is reassuring. I have taken many different styles of Yoga classes and all of them have hurt my lower back, but Jo’s Iyengar yoga class does not and in fact relieves my lower back pain. I strongly recommend her classes.” —Marilda N.
