About yoga for awareness with Jo Brill
Jo loves the abundance of tools that yoga offers to guide us on the path to pure awareness. She works in the tradition of Krishnamacharya as taught by TKV Desikachar - with unwavering attention to the breath, and knowing there’s a yoga for every person, time and place. She has practiced yoga for more than 15 years and continues her studies with Mia Azcue.
Jo is a certified yoga teacher affiliated with the Krishnamacharya Healing & Yoga Foundation, having trained at Yoga for Well-Being in Goshen, New York. She is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher at the 500-hour level. Jo's yoga experience includes teaching at River's Edge Yoga in Garrison, Yoga for Well-Being in Goshen and Briarcliff Yoga in Briarcliff Manor. She has assisted Fran Ubertini at teacher training sessions and at a weekend workshop at Kripalu.
Jo is certified by the American Sanskrit Institute to teach Sanskrit. She studies with Vyaas Houston. Like many others, Jo first read the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita in translation; fascinated by the beauty of the words and concepts, she sought a direct connection to meaning. She now finds new delight in familiar chants and texts, resonating with timeless sounds and savoring the gorgeous intricacy and precision of classical Sanskrit grammar. Jo has taught workshops at Westchester Institute of Yoga and Yoga for Well-Being. She has assisted Vyaas Houston at weekend workshops in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Jo founded Yoga for Awareness in 2007 in order to share the teachings she has received. She
is a supporting member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and has a particular interest in yoga for recovery. She is a member of the Yoga Teachers Association in Westchester and currently serves as board secretary.
