Joanne has always held a holistic interest in health. She is a pharmacist who believes that a state of optimal health cannot be
achieved through modern medicine alone; that yoga teaches us to tune into our own needs and empowers us to take responsibility for ourselves, emotionally and physically.
Having begun her practice in school, Joanne has since come to live and breathe yoga with unwavering dedication. On her journey, she has spent valuable time in the Yoga Vidhya Dham Ashram in Pune, India, training as a yoga teacher. On returning to Ireland she has completed 600hr teacher training with Yoga Therapy Ireland. She has studied all over the world with many inspiring teachers such as Shiva Rea, Tias Little, Sarah Powers and Angela Farmer and has completed courses in Thai massage, Tibetan massage, colour, chakra and crystal therapy.
In 2006 she was introduced to Anusara Yoga and has since immersed herself in Anusara studies, training with Anusara founder
John Friend as well as many outstanding Anusara teachers throughout the world. She is currently in the middle of Anusara Teacher Training and is completing a PhD in Trinity College Dublin.
