about Joan

Joan started her yogic journey nearly two decades ago. What began as an hour of refuge from the stresses of career and family turned into a path of self-discovery, spirituality and education, including a 200-hour yoga school certification through 21st Century Yoga on the Mat with Alex Pfeiffer and an advanced 500-hour training through the RajaHatha school of yoga with Amy Pearce-Hayden and Aubree Saia. She a Reiki Master Teacher, and has completed additional coursework in Sound Healing, Aromatherapy, Pranayama, Meditation, Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra.

By facilitating connections with body, self and others in a safe, loving container, Joan feels that modern yoga is a powerful healing agent in our world. In her classes, expect dynamic movement, breathwork, guided meditations, energy visualizations, and for flow classes, a physical challenge. Her goal is for students to leave feeling lighter and stronger physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Outside of yoga, you’ll find Joan writing music, playing various instruments and singing in two local bands; Avian Aura and The Blue Olives, experimenting in the kitchen and #vanlife adventuring with her husband Gary.
