Joanna is a 500hr Yoga Alliance registered teacher. She completed her trainings and is a Global Ambassador with Yogacara Global. The 200hr Hatha and Vinyasa training was in Whistler in March 2015 and an additional 300hr in Bali in April 2017. She also completed a 50hr Yin Yoga certification with Bernie Clark at Semperviva in May 2016.   Joanna's classes are inclusive and cultivate first and foremost a space for grounding. She strives to establish a sense of balance in the body through the concept of sthira and sukha, strength and ease. Her practice and teaching is slow and mindful, giving time to curiously learn from the body and the breath in each pose and transition. The creation of such a space gives the student the opportunity to develop a deeper awareness of their own bodies and to recognize that they truly are their own best teacher and guide as they start to listen inwards.​ She is passionate to share what she is learning on her own yoga journey and truly believes in the ripple affect that time spent on our mat creates outwards.  

Yoga found me, 5 years ago, during a time in my life when I was unhealthy and in pain. I had been smoking for 14 years and stuck in a career that was hurting my body and left me with a bad shoulder injury. Desperate for a change, a friend suggested that I join her for a yoga class to help relieve my aches and pain. I fell in love instantly and left my first yoga class floating on air! As I continued to dive deeply into my practice, I was bothered by the fact that I could not do the breathing exercises properly due to coughing from smoking. So I decided that was it! I knew I loved yoga more than I loved smoking, and In few short weeks I managed to kick my nasty habit and pursue health and wellness through yoga. Soon after this major life change the little voice in my head kept telling me " you have to teach one day"! And in 2016 I attended the 200hr Karma Yoga Teacher training and took another 200hr training at Vayusha Yoga in 2018. My classes are challenging, fun, grounding and inspiring. My goal is to encourage faith and positive change in those ready to find it and embrace it :)
