The Quest for the Perfect Pose

October 03, 2014

While practicing yoga have you ever asked this question? Or thought some version of it? “Where should I be feeling this?” “What is the purpose of this pose?” Through my years teaching yoga I watch as people try to attain something on the outside, heck I’ve even tried to help them “tak

Dear _________, I don’t know your name or I would have used it because I’m not so formal. My name is Joanne. I know we’ve never met. I don’t know if you like dogs or cats. I like them both, but I have a dog. His name is Clifford. He’s not red. I don’t know if you like the smell of rai

My back has not felt this good in at least 2 years.  My golf swing is awesome.  I can actually follow through and I love you!
Diane Sauve
Hi Joanne! I just wanted to say how much I love attending your classes. My mood is always 100% better when I leave. It’s awesome!
Renee Perreault
Joanne, I really loved the yoga/kettlebell class. I have taken kettlebell classes in the past however your instructions and reminders with each exercise were so helpful that I feel I got so much more out of the class; and my tired muscles the next day confirmed it. The combination of yoga and a kettlebell workout, to add some greater conditioning, is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Joanne!
Luanne Kendall
Fantastic class.  I loved every bit of it.  The moves, the music and your words.  I can’t believe that there is always something new after all of this time.  Thank you so much.
Jenny Mazur
It is because of you and your “no judgement”, that I now do yoga – I never liked it before I went to a class with you.  Thank you Joanne!
Brooke Cranston
Can’t believe I have been going for two months and I learn something new about my body every day. Joanne is amazing!
Melissa Macnabb
Joanne – my elbow feels 100x better!!  I woke up this morning and I could straighten it with no pain or hesitation.  This is amazing.  You are amazing!  This is the first time in 8 months where I am pain free.  I want to cry.  I wasn’t even expecting you to treat my elbow when I came in – I was just thinking I was getting a massage.
