about me

Having first discovered Yoga as a way to navigate stress and the pace of London life, Joana now teaches with the intention of sharing that same sense of calm, focus, and self-discovery with her students.

With 400+ hours of training across Vinyasa, Rocket, Yin, and Katonah Yoga, her classes are dynamic, creative, and challenging—always offering options to both deepen or soften the practice.

Joana encourages her students to step out of their comfort zones while holding a supportive space where they feel safe to explore and be playful, while also connecting with themselves.

Her classes are guided by the breath and the beat of the music, so they are in sync, allowing to reach a deeper flow and meditation state through movement.
