Meet Jolie
Jolie Yonker is the Founder/Director of East Coast Yoga Club. She is known for her adaptability to the variety of practitioners who attend her classes, the inclusive nature of her teaching, and her authenticity. As a lineage-based teacher, Jolie has deep reverence for traditional yoga and presents it in a way that is adaptable for the modern day yogi.
Mentorship Opportunities
Whether you are a new teacher emerging from training, a seasoned veteran who wants to continue teaching in a safe, skillful, and relevant way, or someone who is considering taking the leap into teaching, this mentorship program is designed to support you. My goal is to provide personalized curriculum and guidance based on your needs and areas of interest.
LINEAGE-BASED YOGA
Ashtanga Yoga is a powerful practice that links breath and movement in a specific, sequential order. Originally taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (Guruji) to his students in Mysore, India, Ashtanga has found its way across the globe, including here in the Seacoast. Over the years, students flocked to learn from Guruji and eventually shared their knowledge of the Ashtanga tradition with their own students. Parampara is a Sanskrit word that is often used to describe how knowledge is shared from teacher to student; some translate it as successive, one following the other, or repeated. The practice of Parampara is often credited for the way the teaching of yoga has been passed down for generations in an undiluted manner.
Jolie has studied directly with many of Pattabhi Jois’ original students, and was certified to teach by David Swenson and Shelley Washington.

RITUAL
Sacred are the moments when we are fully present and intentional in our actions. These conscious acts allow for connection, contemplation and awareness. According to Psychology Today, rituals provide a sense of stability and continuity amidst the ever-changing, hectic, and often chaotic world we live in.
