Meet Your Instructor

Jo-Ann Bance graduated from the SOYA 200-hour training in 2013 and realized that there was
more to learn. She completed her 500-hour certification in 2014 with SOYA. She teaches a wide
range of Hatha Yoga with the intention to inspire students to deepen their personal practice, to
teach those new to yoga and to grow as a teacher with each new experience.

Jo-Ann believes in teaching a balanced practice that incorporates the 6 different types of poses
with a focus on the breath (which comes from her SOYA training in the Sivananda lineage) and
providing students the opportunity to explore yoga safely. Her goal is to meet students where
they are at and to create safe space for their own journey in yoga.

She has had a steady meditation practice for 25 years and has practiced yoga for 22 years.
Since August 2013, Jo-Ann has been teaching various practices of yoga including Asana,
Meditation, and Yoga Nidra. In addition to offering group classes, she works one-on-one with
those experiencing varying health conditions from a diagnosis of cancer, osteoporosis, back
pain, issues with hips and knees, and anxiety.

She is a Yoga Alliance registered RYT500 and is a certified International Association of Yoga
Therapist (C-IAYT). Jo-Ann is a Lead Trainer for the SOYA 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Sorrento and Smithers, BC.
