Teacher

Jo Dombernowsky is in charge of the menu at the retreat and inspires us all with her ability to make really healthy food taste really good.

Having studied nutrition for many years, Jo knows the power of food to improve health, energy and wellbeing and prepares her meals to do exactly that. She loves to pass on her knowledge and passion for food throughout the retreat and in her workshops and nutrition weeks.

Originally from Denmark, Jo is quickly becoming the Canary Island’s go to expert on all things nutrition and you may catch her being interviewed on the radio. She has successfully campaigned to improve nutritional education within schools, and is experiencing widespread support for her amazing cookbook, ‘Truly Healthy, Truly Delicious‘.

Jo is also an advanced practitioner and inspiring instructor of Stott Pilates. Her classes focus strongly on understanding correct form, body awareness and body synergy, giving students the understanding and skill to progress in their Pilates safely and quickly.

Jo’s passion for fitness and overall wellbeing shine through in all that she does, and we are delighted to have her as part of the team.

What past guests have said

”I’ve just spent a week at the Surya Retreat in Fuertaventura. There are lots of good things to say about the venue but what made it such a positive experience for me was the people who work there. I’ve dabbled in Pilates before and not really ‘got it’ but Jo is such a good teacher I’ve now got the bug and I’m going to try classes back at home. Everyone I came across was so thoughtful and kind.” S. Pratt, UK

”Amazing experience, i’d also like to say a special thanks to Jo who gave us the best tuition and helped me ‘find myself’ during class. I feel refreshed and relaxed and will definitely be back.” Rachel, UK
