joanna yates

joanna began a light yoga practice over 7 years ago. forever curious and constantly searching, her practice elevated after college in 2007 as an outlet to escape her chosen career. yoga brought forth a reminder of how important it is to expand and celebrate the ability we have to move our bodies. with the combination of yoga and expressive hoopdance, she has found more balance in life and is now following this powerful journey of sharing both with others.

in march of 2010, she completed her 200hr teacher training through yogaworks under the guidance of the lovely and inspirational anne van valkenburg. she has been very fortunate to practice with several inspirational teachers and finds her true practice in anusara and vinyasa yoga. her playful and expressive nature reflect in her teaching style without losing the foundation of practice through physical alignment and breath work. she hopes to inspire others to find the sweet, juicy parts of life that remind us to celebrate each and every day.
