Hello there!
I'm Jo Hutton
Your very own Senior Yoga Teacher and biggest cheerleader.
Round here we don't wait for the wheels to come off before making your mental health a priority.
So if you're ready to grab your well being by the horns, you're in the right place.
Welcome!
The Happy Yoga Community is for you if...
You have been putting everyone else's needs before you're own 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 from a place of joy 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?
Let's be serious for a moment, you only get one life and yet so much time is wasted battling with ourselves and rushing around.
So when you do finally stop, your head keeps racing and it's difficult to just simply be.
You already know the dangers of stress, so why is it so hard to simply relax?
Well it's because relaxation is a skill that you need to practise. When you've been running in 5th gear it's going to take more than just a weekend away or a nice meal to slow you down.
The Happy Yoga Community is a place to commit to your own wellbeing, a space to show up for yourself and say 'I deserve more than this'.
We put two fingers up at our social conditioning telling us to do more and rebel against hustle culture safe in the knowledge that the biggest flex is a balanced nervous system.
The Happy Yoga Community has reached capacity, and we’re now operating a one in/one out policy.
🎉
We have always been an cosy community and I want to ensure that I can still give personalised attention to members.
If you would like to join the Happy Yoga Community then we’d love to have you once there is space.
You simply need to join the waiting list and you will receive an email when your place opens up.
We are not at capacity for annual memberships yet if you would like to join today.

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.
FAQ's
I'm a beginner to yoga would this be suitable for me?
Yes, we have a complete beginners course that is included in the membership to get you started.
What equipment do I need?
Ideally you should have a yoga mat, but you don't need a fancy you one.
If you want any help finding one just send Jo a message with your budget and she'll point you in the direction of a suitable one.
Do I have to stay a member for a certain amount of time or can I cancel whenever?
You can cancel whenever you like in your account.
Obviously I think you'll love it so much you'll stick around but you're free to leave whenever you like
Do I have to have my camera on in the zoom classes?
No, if you're more comfortable with no camera please feel free to keep it off.
However we're a really friendly bunch and we don't mind messy houses, cameos from pets and children, bed hair, or anything like that.
Just come as you are.
What if I can't make it to the zoom times?
Recordings of the zoom classes will be available so you can catch up when you like in your own time. We also have over hundred pre recorded classes in the library for you to do.
