Individualized yoga immersions

Whether it's a morning flow for your wedding day, a guided hike and outdoor yoga session for a team-building event, kicking off the BEST birthday EVER with your closest friends (maybe add in a silk painting class, vision boards, or learn how to slackline!) or you're simply craving fresh perspective on your health & wellness, let's co-create an enlivening, inspiring, soul-renewing experience!
LET'S COLLABORATE!
“Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.”
-Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation

CLASSES

Joanna draws on her coaching background to create dynamic, inspiring yoga experiences for small groups and individuals. Her classes emphasize the core fundamentals of a safe and sustainable vinyasa yoga practice, connecting with the breath and the heart.  

She brings a deep curiosity for learning and a compassionate spirit to her teaching, and aims to serve as a guide for students to open to the deep inner wisdom of their own bodymind.

She currently teaches at All That Matters, Central Rock Gym in Warwick, and community outreach yoga through Shri Yoga, and is available for small group and individual instruction. 

YOGA BIO

Picture Proud backer of the 10,000 Suns installation in DownCity by Adam Anderson.
Along with art, yoga is the thread that connects the physical, psychological, and spiritual intersections of Jo's many passions. 

Joanna discovered yoga in 2005 as a means of supporting her athletic lifestyle, not realizing how profoundly nourishing the practice would grow to be for her mind, heart, and soul. Her BFA thesis show in 2007, titled “Bringing to Light”, was dedicated to exploring this awakening.

She completed her first 200-hour yoga teacher training with Tom Gillette and Shannah Green of Eyes of the World Yoga in 2015, and has been continuing yoga and movement education ever since.

When she found herself in career transition in early 2017, she created a line of eco-friendly yoga mats with her artwork to pay for her tuition for Shri Yoga’s 60h Path of Service training, and also furthered her education with her mentor Coral Brown in her 200 hour Prana Flow training. 

Outside of the yoga studio, her passion for mindful movement extends to hiking, backpacking, surfing, slack lining, weight lifting, dancing, paddling, snowboarding, rock climbing, and beyond! 


​She is NOLS Wilderness First Aid, CrossFit Level 1, and CPR certified, and has drawn inspiration from studying movement and human potential with athletes such as world record holder Ryan Moody and movement specialist Carl Paoli :)
