Joana

Co-Founder and Manager

Joana’s first yoga class was with Sha. It brought her so close to her physical limits that she decided Yoga maybe wasn’t for her. Yet, she did come back the following week (after all, she did really like the music…). And the next week - and the one after that. Fast forward a couple of months later, weekly yoga classes had become more than just a habit, but an essential way to keep her grounded in a life that was so decidedly focused on the external.

Joana deeply appreciates yogic practices for what she sees as a fundamental recognition that everyone comes onto the mat with different physical and mental preconditions. Yoga taught her to feel a deep gratitude for her own body and mind that enable the practice, instead of striving for the same externally defined ideal. Together with her partner Sha, she set her mind on creating a welcoming space that provides access to different facets of this beautiful practice. 

While Joana is not a yoga teacher (yet), she will be around in the studio a lot. Please feel free to reach out and chat with Joana about anything that comes to mind, may it be related to feedback on the studio, artificial intelligence or even dumplings.
