Deep understanding of the benefits of yoga and meditation. At Shraddha Yoga Centre – Yoga & Meditation, Joanne Jackett, a highly experienced and compassionate instructor, aims to help individuals manage stress levels, improve concentration and mindfulness, enhance flexibility and overall well-being, and connect with like-minded individuals.
Joanne's classes are designed to cater to all ages and abilities, and she emphasises that one does not need to be flexible in order to start practising yoga. Flexibility develops gradually over time. With a deep understanding of classical yoga, Joanne's classes incorporate teachings based on ancient yoga texts. She believes in cultivating an evenness of mind, developing a positive attitude, and embarking on a journey towards self-realisation.
For those new to yoga, Joanne welcomes beginners or individuals returning to the practise after a break. She seamlessly integrates newcomers into general classes, ensuring that all students practise at their own level of comfort and ability. In yoga, individuals are encouraged to focus on their own progress rather than comparing themselves to others.
With over thirty years of experience in teaching and practising yoga, Joanne speaks from personal experience about the untold benefits of yoga on physical, mental, and spiritual levels. She encourages individuals to give yoga a try to enjoy a greater quality of life overall. Her passion for yoga and its transformative power shines through her teaching, inspiring her students to explore their own potential and growth.
In addition to regular classes, Joanne hosts relaxation sessions throughout the year and an annual Yoga Meditation Retreat, offering participants an opportunity to deeply relax and rejuvenate in tranquil yoga spaces. These retreats are carefully curated to provide a serene environment conducive to self-reflection and growth.
Joanne's Shraddha Yoga Centre has been a part of the Brighton community since 1985. Her yoga journey began in 1975 at the Gita School of Yoga, where she studied Hatha Yoga, Yoga Philosophy, and Progressive Yoga Relaxation. After becoming a qualified teacher in 1979, Joanne remained a teacher and student at the school until 1985 when she embarked on her independent teaching career. Over the years, she has continued her studies in Meditation and Yoga Philosophy, becoming a member and student of the Self-Realisation Fellowship, which disseminates the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
On her website, individuals can find recordings of Joanne's relaxation and meditation sessions, which can be listened to for free or downloaded for a minimal cost. These recordings, along with others, are also available on the free 'Insight Timer' app, making them easily accessible for individuals seeking moments of tranquilly and introspection.
