THE ESSENZA NETWORK
MEET OUR TEACHERS
meet our founder Joanne
Joanne combines her psychology degree, corporate background, coaching experience and love for (dream) yoga to help people nurture their connection between their head and their heart. She specializes in the gentler forms of yoga in order to bring balance & softness into our overly productivity-centered, and therefore often stressful, lifestyles. Joanne creates the space and time needed for people to surrender to the present moment and therefore, become more aware of themselves. She does this in a warm, practical and fun way which suits her down-to-earth-spiritual and enthusiastic personality. Joanne’s passions include yoga nidra, lucid dreaming and everything having to do with the unconscious mind. She combines all of her knowledge and experiences in unique ways with her nidra coaching to allow transformation from deep within. Joanne’s classes and beautifully crafted nidras will inspire you to relax your mind and awaken your heart; to live with more awareness, more compassion, and a little bit more humor so you can play-fully (emphasis on fully) embrace and enjoy all the facets of life.
