Student Testimonials Speak Volumes

“... she has changed my life. The chronic back pain that I was in has gone and each time it returns I go through the movements that she has shown me and the pain dissipates. She is too modest and says it wasn’t her, that she was just the catalyst. Thank you JoAnn, I know it was you!” ~ Ruth R., San Franciso Bay Area    

“Your support, guidance, compassion is unlike anything I ever expected out of a teacher…” ~ Gabriela C., Lafayette, Louisiana

“To attend a yoga class by JoAnn is to emerge after feeling peaceful and serene. Her instruction is excellent and there’s always a sense of humor and lightness in her class. She is someone who instinctively knows how to read the room and stays conscious of addressing any individual concerns... Her class embodies what yoga is to me: getting back to the simple perfection of feeling centered.” ~ Megan R., San Franciso Bay Area

“I appreciate first of all your light that shines so brightly and makes everyone smile and your wealth of knowledge about so many things of yoga and life.” - Angenique N., Lafayette, Louisiana

“JoAnn was a breath of fresh air. She came into the class and was introduced as our new Yoga Instructor. Not only were we all pleasantly surprised by the addition of our new instructor, we came to realize her teaching technique was; of a sort that was obviously lacking in the didactic of our health clubs Yoga program. JoAnn lent her experience as a Yoga Instructor that me and my fellow students were dreaming and looking for. JoAnn led, managed and constructed a class that would soon create its own following and a class that my fellow students felt was inviting.” ~ Sandra W., San Franciso Bay Area

“She is an incredible yoga master/instructor/teacher and 先生！She is sweet and takes care of her yogi students (always giving you variations in case you are in pain in a specific part of your body). She pays attention to your position and corrected you (thank you for teaching me how to do Cobra!!! I finally get it). She is adaptable and warm, establishes always a welcome environment without judgments as she uses to say in her classes 😉 You are not going to regret! Go and try one of her classes !” ~ Andrea C. San Franciso Bay Area  

“I walked into her class as an injured, non-flexible, very stiff mess. She was very a patient and helpful teacher throughout. She even lent me her mat when I complained that mine was not thick enough for my painful knees. Slowly but surely with her help and dedication I started to come along; my injured abused started to heal and the rest of me followed…” ~ Diana V., San Franciso Bay Area
