While many yoga teachers suffered during the lockdowns, Jo King from Monewden, near Framlingham in Suffolk, rallied to keep yoga on the school curriculum, a welcome distraction for all during a difficult and uncertain time.
A pioneer of yoga in schools, the yoga instructor has now been recognised for all her efforts after being awarded the British Empire Medal — an award for meritorious civil or military service worthy of recognition by the Crown.
It’s the icing on the cake for a person who has dedicated her life to helping children gain joy and hope through yoga.
King received her BEM last year
