Hello there!
I'm Jo Hutton
I'm a Senior Yoga Teacher, with over 14 years experience teaching yoga to people who hated PE.
I help people relax and de-stress so they can get their sparkle back and enjoy life...
The Happy Yoga Community is for you if...
You have been putting everyone else's needs first and it's time for you to move up your own priority list.
You're sick of exercise feeling like a battle with your body, and you want to move out of a place of celebration not punishment.
You've been running around so long, and keeping yourself so busy that you've forgotten how to relax.
You are excited to finally commit to the most important relationship you'll have in your life, the relationship with yourself.
What is the Happy Yoga Community?
The Happy Yoga Community is a fun, friendly online yoga studio. You don't have to be an expert in yoga to join, in fact unfit, inflexible people are especially welcome.
The atmosphere is welcoming, encouraging and relaxing, and everyone goes at their own pace.
I don't teach fast flows or yoga tricks (nothing wrong with this, it’s just not what we do) instead we move our body in a steady, loving way to find peace, balance and inner strength.
So come and join our oasis of calm in amongst the hustle and bustle of life, and give yourself space to reconnect to yourself.

- Delicious stretching to release tension in the muscles
Let's Stretch Yoga

About Jo
When I walked into a yoga class for the first time over 15 years ago, I was a stranger to myself.
I had spent years treating my mind and body like unruly animals that needed to be tamed and brought to heel, and as a result I was not happy or healthy.
Over time I developed a steady yoga practice that allowed me to listen and feel comfortable in my mind and body.
After seeing the transformational results that yoga brought to me I decided to dedicate my life to sharing the gift of yoga with others.
I trained to be a yoga teacher in 2011 and have been teaching full time ever since, I run a yoga studio in Newcastle Upon Tyne and in 2019 Yoga Alliance Professionals awarded me with the title Senior Yoga Teacher. I also train people to become yoga teachers with my training academy Newcastle Yoga School.
Nothing would make me happier than having you in a class.
