Joanne is an internationally certified yoga instructor. She started her yoga career in 2000 with a six-month philosophy and posture intensive with Indian yogi Dayanand Koushik and she has been practicing ever since.  Many life experiences have shaped her approach to yoga.  As a teenage athlete and competitive tower diver, she developed discipline, flexibility and body awareness. Years later, as a student, she completed a Master of Arts in the Philosophy of Religion and a Bachelor of Education. Joanne’s yoga teaching combines these perspectives with traditional yogic thought to offer her students balanced yoga training. She believes that everything worthwhile and beautiful in life can be enriched with hard work. Joanne lives and teaches in Dawson City, Yukon.
