Instructors

Debi Lewis, Director

Debi Lewis began studying yoga in 1985 and began to teach at the Yoga Center of Jackson in 1992. Her light-hearted teaching style brings together the precision of Iyengar, the heart of Kripalu, the therapy of Viniyoga, and the heat of Astanga. Debi studies with senior teachers from various traditions around the country, and regularly with Master Teacher Rod Stryker, founder of Parayoga. In 1997 she completed certification in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy. She is also currently studying the Enneagram, a spiritual model of personality types, and is combining its wisdom with yoga therapy.

John Cartwright

John has been a dedicated student of Joyflow yoga for many years. He enjoys teaching flow classes but is also adept at giving modifications for those who need them. John worked formerly for MS Emergency Management Agency so he has a lot of practice helping stressed-out people get calm. His soothing voice can take you into those challenging postures and help you find your center. John received his RYT 200 training through Joyflow Yoga. We finally got a picture of him; here he is at Machu Pichu in a headstand.
