and... Exhale

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away...

cREATE THE LIFE IN WHICH YOU WISH TO LIVE...FIND bEAUTY IN EVERYTHING...FORGIVE AND LET GO...HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE VULNERABLE...AND DON'T EVER LET SOMEONE DIM YOUR LIGHT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S SHINNING IN THEIR EYEs. 

Offering a variety of workshops and events providing support one's inner strength, personal drive and manifestations.

My personal favorite...

"Goddess" Workshops:  Unleash the Goddess within...a brilliant fusion of Pilates, Yoga, and Dance will have your Chakras flowing. Indulge your soul in an evening with Joanna and discover how beautiful you truly are. Dive deep into your soul's desire and let go of some things that just are not serving you anymore. Take this time out and plug into you. 

and...Exhale

When I heard Joanna was offering a Goddess Workshop I had already been taking her Pilates classes as often as I could and was excited to dive deeper into the mystic space that seems to envelop her. I noticed in her a quiet peace, a strong resilience and a wellspring of abundance; and I wanted some of what she was sharing.

Joanna decorated a sensuous, warm space where we were encouraged to write to our innermost selves and settle into the safety of a room full of friends. She wove music and her personal thoughts together to remind us of our beauty, strength and influence on the lives of others. By the end of the workshop we were dancing and laughing and feeling those deliciously conflicting feelings of invigoration and exhaustion that come from having participated fully in an experience. We were cleansed, revitalized and our cups were overflowing. The feeling of connection she created that night continues to grow months after the Goddess workshop. And I’m not alone; the two friends I invited (who do not practice yoga) both said Joanna’s Goddess Workshop was inspiring and healing and great exercise and have asked me to invite them again.

Joanna is a beautiful soul in a beautiful body, and truly she glows from within. She exudes femininity, grace and strength and openly shares what she has with others. It’s an absolute gift to practice with her, and to learn from her as she continues to grow. I’m looking forward to the next Goddess Workshop!

I’m so thankful to Joanna for teaching me to breathe “and...exhale”. She helped me with balance in my life. After my fourth child I felt I had lost my old body and my sense of self, with her guidance I rediscovered my physical and mental strength. In addition to her highly individualized Pilates and Yoga sessions, she taught me to make nutritional choices that fuel a healthier lifestyle. I am possibly healthier now at 41 than any other age. In large part thanks to Joanna, I’m about to run my first full marathon and I know with Joanna’s support I will be able to cross the finish line!
