Yoga Retreats and Training with Jody Vassallo

Jody completed her Diploma in Ki Yoga (a yoga derived from the teachings of Masahiro Oki, who combined the Indian Hatha yoga with the Chinese and Japanese based meridian system) under Jack Marshall at Zen Renaissance in Sydney, Australia.
She has been teaching Japanese Yoga in Byron Bay for the past 3 years at Byron Yoga Centre. Jody regularly runs cleansing yoga and food based intensives where she combines her extensive nutritional knowledge to help guide students to a healthier approach to their diet and lifestyle.
Ki Yoga changes daily so that students never quite know what to expect from a class. Classes are structured to help students adapt to the climatic changes around them. Working with the five element system, Ki Yoga works therapeutically by stimulating meridians in the body through the asanas (postures or stretches).
Food medicine is also an important part of this style of yoga and in each class Jody talks about the food that students can be eating to support themselves in each season. Having written recipes for the past 15 years Jody is constantly sharing recipes with students and giving them hints to use at home in the kitchen.
More recently Jody trained with Rachel Zinman in the Ishta system – a yoga specifically designed for the individual. ISHTA – stands for Integrated Science of Hatha Tantra and Ayuveda. Meditation is a large part of the Ishta system and all of Jodys classes now include meditation and pranayama.
