ABOUT THE HOST:
Jasmin’s younger sister convinced her to try her first yoga class in a hot yoga studio fifteen years ago. While she enjoyed the challenge—and was in awe of the amount of sweat she produced (talk about drip!)— she had no idea that this day would put her on a healing path with yoga at its core. Jasmin knew the impacts of chronic stress were affecting her physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and that something had to be done.
She decided to jump right into her 200-hour YTT training at Spiritual Essence Yoga Studio in 2019. She knew that receiving her yoga teaching training would not only identify her as a “yogi”, but that it was also the beginning of a new healing lifestyle. After getting her 200 hour certification, she began working as a yoga teacher at Sankofa Yoga & Wellness Center.
Jasmin is a natural born teacher. Starting in kindergarten, she would convince her younger sister to sit in a row with her stuffed animals, in front of her mini chalkboard, in order to teach her sister and the stuffed animal crew what she learned that day in school. The instinct to teach followed her into her adult years, as she has been a middle school English teacher for fifteen years.
Whether in the classroom or in the yoga studio, Jasmin is passionate about helping others understand themselves and heal from the pain, stress and trauma that life brings. She believes that the more a person heals, the more they will tap into the profound wisdom and power they hold.

Come and experience the natural beauty and allure of the natural wonderland of Cape Town or the tropical paradise of Zanzibar with AJO while slowing down to focus on your wellness, health and spirituality going forward.
As ÀJÒ means ‘Journey’ in Yoruba, we invite you to journey with us to the beaches, artistic streets, nature reserves and mountains of Cape Town as you kickstart your journey to better wellness and healthier living. Bask in the sunlight beside African penguins on Boulders Beach, feel the wind in your hair at the south-western most tip of Africa at Cape Point Nature Reserve, experience wildlife on the African plains during a safari, or cruise to Robben Island and Braai with locals.
While your journey will take place all around you on the Motherland, you will also journey and explore inward. You will learn what it means to listen to your body and explore yourself. In a world that prioritizes production as worth, and pushing our bodies to the point of exhaustion, it is necessary that we intentionally reset and get in touch with who we are at our core.
Your week has been carefully planned in order to ensure there is a perfect balance between exploring your surroundings on the Motherland and exploring your inner self. You will be guided in the process of resetting–that is, finding joy and presence outside of the noise and routine of your daily life. You will be provided with tangible strategies that you will be able to take home with you so that you can continue to experience this restoration of self, even after you leave.
Our hope is that you leave the Mother City, Cape Town, feeling reset and restored in your body and mind.
