Welcome to Jo Angwin Movement Therapies
I’ve spent over 25 years teaching movement — yoga, Pilates, strength, and mobility — to everyday people navigating real lives. This work has evolved.
What began as technique and form has grown into something broader:
Movement as therapy, movement as communication, movement as support for the whole person.
Jo Angwin Movement reflects a new iteration of my work, one that sits at the intersection of movement education, lived experience and therapeutic understanding.
My background includes decades of movement teaching, art and art therapist for recovery and my current study in counselling. This informs how I teach – with attention to nervous system responses, emotional load, life context, and the reality that bodies do not exist in isolation from experience.
This is not therapy delivered through exercise. It is movement taught with care, insight, and respect for the human condition.
Whether you practice with me online or in person, the intention is the same:
To help you feel capable, steady, and more at home in your body.
We Provide the Following Movement Classes and Sessions

THE WHITE DOG STORY
White Dog Studio is a place for movement, community, and growth. Inspired by the symbolism of the white dog—loyal, steady, and ever-present—we are dedicated to creating a welcoming space where everyone feels supported in their practice.
Across cultures, white dogs have been seen as guides, companions, and protectors, offering direction and a sense of belonging. At White Dog Studio, we embrace this philosophy by encouraging movement that is inclusive, adaptable, and enriching. Whether through Pilates, yoga, or strength & mobility training, we invite you to explore movement in a way that feels good and fosters connection.
Here, movement is not about expectation but about experience. It’s about showing up, finding what works for you, and enjoying the process. White Dog Studio is a place to move, breathe, and be supported—wherever you are on your journey.
Our mission is to help you live happier and healthier. We don’t give a hoot about your size, your background, your fitness level or your activewear – we just want to help you enjoy regular exercise and workouts taught by the best in the biz.
The White Dog community acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woiworung and Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, and the Gulidjan people as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which our studios are located. We recognise that sovereignty over the land has never been ceded and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. White Dog strongly believe in the power of connection and belonging through movement and recognise the important role Indigenous people play in this space. We recognise and respect that the Indigenous community hold knowledge about movement and health that has lasted for centuries and welcome this knowledge within our studios.
