Johanna has been practising Yoga from a young age helping her to overcome difficult challenges in her life. When she was a young child she very much enjoyed ballet and tap dancing so in her late teens when she found Yoga she knew then it was going to be part of her life.

“My career started out as a beauty therapist and hairdresser which meant a lot of standing day in day out. From attending regular yoga classes I knew then how important it was to stand correctly so I didn't compromise my body in any way. Then my Yoga teacher in 2004 encouraged me to do a teacher training course with the Traditional Yoga Association. I was so thirsty for knowledge on the subject and knew then that it was a fundamental part of well-being and a deepening awareness of the body, breath and movement.”

“I really wanted to share the amazing benefits and the knowledge of Yoga with everyone. Yoga is not for everyone but definitely worth giving it a shot and it really doesn’t matter how flexible you are! With time and determination you become stronger in your body, mind and spirit, gently encouraging and guiding students to work with their breath so that they can get the full wonderful experience of their Yoga practice.”

“My classes focus on relaxing the mind, connecting with the breath, releasing muscle tightness and tension, increasing strength and flexibility at any age and ability. The classes are friendly and all are very welcome so anybody can benefit. Starting with gentle warm up, asana, pranayama and relaxation to close the class so the students leave with a sense of calm and peace. I offer day time and evening classes and also teach private one-to-one classes.”
