I walked into my first yoga class 23 years ago and was instantly hooked. I felt then as I do now that the practice of yoga and meditation is endless. What I didn’t expect was my life would be forever changed and defined by it. I’ve come to rely on the endless pool of knowledge to navigate through all the stages of my life. The basic tenet of being present with what is both physically and mentally has brought me much comfort as well as peace. I feel very fortunate that my profession is also my inspiration. I can’t imagine my life without it.

As I grow and learn I am so grateful to be a teacher. There is nothing more rewarding than being the catalyst for another person’s appreciation for the benefits of these profound teachings.

After taking my first yoga class in the early 70’s I became a lifelong student. I began teaching in 2004 and after many years of training became a Professional Level Kripalu Certified yoga instructor. As a teacher I emphasize connection to breath, body awareness and acceptance. Poses are selected to help create strength, fluidity and balance, helping students tap into their own innate wisdom. I have experienced yoga as an inquiry that may take many playful, challenging and joyful forms

Joan is a RYT 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified instructor, teaching vinyasa, restorative and yoga nidra guided meditation. She is also certified by Exhale to Inhale in trauma informed yoga.
Following years of a rewarding practice as an employment lawyer, she gravitated to the practice of yoga to find a very different source of satisfaction and focus. While first drawn to the physical aspects of yoga, she became equally intrigued by yoga philosophy and the mental components of the practice, which she was fortunate to explore in vinyasa training with Liz Shulman, Sat Shakti.
She continues her yoga journey with inspiration and joy, exploring the opportunities for growth and clarity. Joan sees yoga as an invitation to expand boundaries, internal and external, subtle and grand, and to find space in the body and the mind. Joan is grateful for every chance she has to continue her yoga evolution and to share and learn from others in her classes and off the mat.

June O’Neill – 200+ RYT – was introduced to yoga at a profoundly challenging time in her life and found it to be a powerful healer of mind, body and spirit.  Adapting her practice of more than a decade to accommodate surgery and injury, June developed a deep appreciation for the power and benefits of a regular practice focusing on the gifts of acceptance, stillness and the peace of a quieted mind.  Her journey brought her first to a Hatha-based training followed by additional coursework in Restorative Yoga and a 32-hour Yin Yoga training with Corina Benner.
