Her goal is simple:
to help you feel strong, grounded, and connected to the present moment—while still having some serious fun along the way.

Jodi offers yoga and movement experiences in a variety of settings, including personal training within Naples country clubs and residential communities, weekly group yoga classes, private sessions, and outdoor experiences shaped by sun, breeze, and water.

Yoga is the foundation of her work, supported by many hours of training and teaching experience. From there, her practice naturally expands into paddle-based movement and exploration—inviting students to experience balance, breath, and mindfulness in a whole new way.

SUP Adventure Paddle with Jodi

Shelling, Sea Life & Coastal Exploration

Not feeling yoga today? Let the water lead. Book a SUP Adventure Paddle (Shelling & Sea Life).

This SUP Adventure Paddle is a calm, exploratory experience focused on discovery, curiosity, and connection with the coastal environment. Guided by Jodi, this session is about slowing down and noticing what most people glide right past.

We’ll paddle gently through shallow waters and shoreline areas ideal for shelling, spotting sea life, and observing birds and marine creatures in their natural habitat. Expect pauses to explore, drift, and learn. This is not about distance or speed—it’s about presence.

Think quiet coves, shells shaped by time, tiny creatures at work, and moments of stillness on the water.

What to Expect

  • Easy-paced paddle suitable for beginners

  • Shelling and shoreline exploration (look, learn, and leave nature as found)

  • Spotting sea creatures, birds, and marine life

  • A peaceful, curiosity-driven experience

This experience carries the same Buddha Voodoo energy:
Curious, not rushed.
Grounded, not rigid.
A little magic in the ordinary.
