Joanna Dunn

(E-RYT 200, RYT 500, Lead Yoga Instructor, Yoga Advisor)

"It was through Yoga that I first learned to really listen to myself, to tune in to my body-mind-spirit. Yoga continues to be my touchstone – whenever I feel ungrounded, I go back to the body, back to the breath and then I remember…Namaste.”

It was while living in Massachusetts (and under the illusion that she was working on a Master’s degree) that Joanna began her study of yoga in 2000 as an apprentice to Lynn Kingston during Lynn’s forth decade of teaching. Under Lynn, Joanna practiced choreographed vinyasa (posture flow) and Yin Yoga. In 2001, she received a 200-hour certification through Kripalu Center for Yoga. In the course of the last decade, Joanna has studied restorative yoga, yin yoga, yoga therapeutics and has recently delved into alignment-based yoga. In May of 2010, she completed an advanced teacher training program through Pacific Yoga in Seattle.

In addition to her weekly classes at Snowcreek Yoga Studio, she offers individualized therapeutic yoga sessions for those who are recovering from injury or illness, coping with chronic pain, stress or insomnia. Joanna also offers on-going group classes in Plain, as well as workshops and retreats. As much as Joanna loves her native state of Washington, when she gets the chance, she travels, abandoning her adorable dog and cozy home to wander and explore.
