Meet
Joana Allis

I came to yoga to find a place to pause from what was an increasingly overwhelming work life. I stayed, and ended up training as a teacher, because of the way it made me feel, the ability to be at home in my body and my breath, to escape from the chatter. I chose to teach so I could translate that same feeling to others. I truly believe that yoga is a tool for everyone, for every body, every experience and am dedicated to sharing it. I completed my 200-hour teacher training at One Down Dog and prenatal training with Kim Neer at One Down Dog and Alice Sicuro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Teaches:
Honey Flow, Slow Flow, Hi-Lo, Prenatal Classes, Baby & Me Series

The vibe at class:
Joyful. Accessible. Dancy.

  • My classes are fun and accessible, I teach with the goal of helping students find space to breathe and feel in their bodies, to form connections, and hopefully a few smiles along the way. I am in constant search of discovering how and where we find belonging and share this journey with my students, leading classes that tailor to each student while opening space for exchange between them, inspiring exploration and introspection, and always accompanied by curated playlists.I am constantly searching for more opportunities to learn and grow; I see each class I teach as an opportunity to discover something new with my students and I can’t get enough of it.

  • Yoga is for every body - it is so much more about connecting to your self, your body, your breath than about how a pose looks or how flexible you are.

  • I love bird of paradise - I like it because it challenges me and feels really good when I am able to find stability in it.
