Jolie began practicing yoga with wonderful Seacoast teachers in 2000. She has since become a certified instructor and continues to expand her practice by attending a variety of classes, workshops and trainings on a regular basis--including Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training with David Swenson and Shelley Washington and the Ashtanga Yoga Confluence Conference. She has also learned from some of the world’s foremost yoga teachers, many in the Ashtanga tradition. Among them: Beryl Bender-Birch, Eddie Stern, Tim Miller, and Manju Jois, as well as Jason Crandell and Tiffany Cruikshank.
An accomplished marathoner and cyclist, Jolie recognized that the more consistent her yoga practice was, the less frequent her injuries became. By combining her extensive yoga knowledge with a deep background in fitness, Jolie is equally adept at working with all-around athletes as she is working with beginner and longtime yoga students. Her light-hearted approach to teaching creates a welcoming environment for all who attend her classes. She continues to find this practice to be a humbling, challenging and dynamic gift and loves to share it with her class participants.
