Joanna Collins

Yoga Instructor

Joanna Collins was born in Dublin and spent her youth training in London. Her yoga practice

stems from a dance background namely classical ballet, contemporary and modern, so her

teaching is rooted in an innate and precise sense of physicality. Joanna is specifically drawn to

the discipline of Yoga because of the precise alignment and placement it demands on the body

and its connection of breath with movement.

Jo began training in India in 2004 where she spent 2 years experiencing yoga as a way of life.

Her main practice there was in the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition, practicing with V. Venkatesh

(Atma Vikasa, Mysore) and V. Sheshadri (Mysore Mandala Shala). She gained a teacher training

certificate in Yoga Education from Yoga Vidyha Dham Institution and then completed her teacher

training in Los Angeles at the renowned Yoga Works studio in Santa Monica with her mentor

Annie Carpenter.

Joanna has been fortunate to study under many senior teachers including, Chuck Miller, Maty

Ezraty, Erik Schiffman,Tias Little and Jason Crandell.

Now a mother of three, Joanna found how imperative her yoga practice was to her through the

challenges of pregnancy and motherhood.Jo teaches both Pre and Postnatal Yoga ,Mum and

Baby Yoga and runs Active Birth preparation workshops.
