Joanna was inspired and encouraged to follow the path of yoga teacher training after many years practicing and enjoying yoga classes. Her love of dynamic flowing sequences led her to pursue Astanga Yoga Teacher Training 200 hrs Yoga Alliance which she completed in 2004 with Brian Cooper and Nawajyoti at Union Yoga in Edinburgh and Shanti Griha in Scoraig, Scotland.

Joanna continues to deepen her yoga practice and draws inspiration from workshops and intensives with a wide range of well known yogis such as Sri Dharma Mittra, David Swenson, Matthew Sweeney, Paul Grilley, Kausthub Desikachar, Shiva Rea and Sarah Powers. She also continues to practice with her yoga teacher Granville Cousins.

Joanna holds the RYT 500 hours with Yoga Alliance UK and is a certified Prana Flow® Yoga Teacher with Shiva Rea and Samudra Global School for Living Yoga. 

Joanna holds classes in Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Yoga with Relaxation and Yin Yoga in the Bolton and Manchester area. Yoga one-to-one – always available.
