Giving back to my community is always at the forefront of my mind, my business, and my brand.

I am a lifelong volunteer. If you'd like to propose a collaboration or opportunity for yoga, reach out!

Yoga for Athletes

During the 2023 lacrosse season I was asked to teach yoga to the Beaufort High School girls' lacrosse team. Their practice was focused on flexibility, injury prevention, strength, and recovery. It was great to show them how yoga can complement their sport and improve their performance.

appreciation

I've offered several yoga sessions in appreciation of our teachers and all they do.

virtual Yoga for students

During the COVID pandemic volunteers were not allowed on the campus but it was clear that yoga had benefits to offer stressed students. I taught several virtual classes to bring yoga into their classrooms and offer breathing and calming techniques.

Yoga for students

In 2021 I started offering yoga to local schools and their students in person. I introduce them to breathwork and body awareness. They typically start out with lots of energy and by the end have settled into a quiet calm.

May we continue to plant more seeds and offer more tools to empower our youth to be the change they wish to see.

Certificate of Appreciation for Jo Heckert from Swansboro, NC

community Yoga for resilience

In 2018 during Hurricane Florence we lived in Cedar Point, NC near the epicenter of the devastation. The local high school was flooded and the entire school was closed for weeks. The students were spread out to various areas across the county for classes but the stress of the catastrophic event weighed heavy on the community, especially the teens. I donated my time and held free weekly classes for the high school students and staff. As the weeks progressed, the attendance got larger and larger. I was honored with a Certificate of Appreciation by Swansboro High School.

Yoga for Moms

In 2018, I donated my time to the Crystal Coast MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) to lead a yoga practice. It was a beautiful way to start my day and share space with some wonderful women and mighty moms! Thanks for the invitation Crystal Coast Mops!

immersive education for seniors

Jo has partnered with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) to offer Yoga for Healthy Aging classes during their educational semesters. These classes begin with classroom instruction and education and are followed by an informed yoga practice on the mat in a studio setting. Participants leave feeling empowered and educated to modify their yoga practices as they need to while better understanding how yoga can add quality and value to their lives.
