Jo Schaalman
As a nationally ranked diver and coach, Jo was no stranger to competition and pushing her body past its limits. But in 1999 when she took her first yoga class, she realized that she had found a new emotional and physical outlet that would bring more balance to her life. In 2003 she began teaching yoga at Corepower Yoga. Then, in a cycling accident, Jo sustained multiple spinal fractures and loss of movement. It was truly then that her yoga journey began. Over the next 3 years she used yoga to rehabilitate her own body. She now teaches both Baptiste and Forrest yoga. Jo’s intent as a yoga instructor is to guide her students through their own journey of emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
