I began my mental health internship for my master's program, and I am committed to staying grounded and heart-centered during this time of transition. Through my daily yoga practice, I have the tools to stay present and share my gifts with my coworkers, classmates and clients.
I have scaled back on my teaching, but will be offering a few classes and perhaps a workshop this fall.
Scroll down to read the fifth segment of "Touching Your Toes Has Nothing To Do With It" for some yoga philosophy.
3.5 days in an experiential workshop that offers you guided meditations and visualizations, exercises on developing and deepening connections with people, using communication skills in new ways, exploring strengths and challenges within yourself and within others more clearly, developing clear intentions and visions, and setting goals with soul in every area of your life. I am sharing an incredible opportunity with you. As a visionary creator and producer of this workshop, the Personal Mastery Intensive (PMI) is a gift from me to you. It is a word-of-mouth program that has changed the direction of my life. I have genuinely been living my life from a different place lately – being connected to people, showing up authentically, staying in vulnerability and truth, and facing fears with courage.
The Personal Mastery Intensive is what they don't teach in school; PMI is the school of life.

Touching Your Toes Has Nothing To Do With It
Introduction
In the West, we consider “yoga” to be a physical practice where we move our body, stretch, strengthen, and balance. However, this is only a fraction of the full practice of yoga. One eighth, actually. The Yoga Sutras, written by a man named Patanjali over 2,000 years ago, is considered to be one of yoga’s most sacred texts. Patanjali lays out an eightfold path to attaining a higher state of consciousness, one in which the practitioner learns to still the craziness of the mind. This path is yoga.
The Fifth Limb of Yoga: "Pratyahara"
Pratyahara is the withdraw of the five senses. Our whole lives the five senses (touch, taste, see, hear, and smell) are inputing information into our being and pratyahara is where we turn those off so that we may turn from the outer world and experience the inner domain of the mind.
Pratyahara Practice Tip
Use Shanmukhi Mudra where you place first 2 fingers on closed eyelids, ring fingers at base of nostrils, pinky finger at base corner of nostrils, and thumb to inner ear. Gently apply pressure to all these points for a couple of minutes and just observe whatever comes up.
Private Sessions with Joanna
Personalized instruction is a valuable tool for students of all levels. Yoga practice provide the perfect opportunity to address goals and work on areas of interest. Sessions can take place in your home or at a studio. I am available for private sessions in the styles of therapeutic yoga for emotional well-being, vinyasa flow, yin, restorative, and prenatal yoga.
