Joanna Griffin

I am originally from the UK, but now call Canada home. I have been teaching Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga since 2015. My 200hr and 300hr Yoga Teacher Training was with Your Yoga Flow in 2015 and 2017. I took my Yin training with Bernie Clark in 2016. Since then I have continued my studies in Restorative Yoga, Chair Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Ayurveda and Children\'s Yoga. I have taken multiple Breath work, Self Development and Meditation courses over the years with renowned teachers, as well as Mentorship programs to compliment my teaching and learning. My classes are inclusive and cultivate first and foremost a space for grounding. I strive to establish a sense of balance in the body through the concept of Sthira and Sukha, strength and ease. My personal practice and teaching is slow and mindful, giving time to curiously learn from the body and the breath in each pose and transition without rushing to what is next. The creation of such a space gives the practitioner the opportunity to linger, to develop a deep awareness of their own bodies and to recognize that they truly are their own best teacher and guide as they delve inwards. I am passionate to share what I am learning on my own yoga journey and truly believe that time spent on our mats creates a beautiful ripple effect out into the world. I am a proud co-owner of Your Yoga Flow Studio, a platform for Online Yoga Teacher Training Courses, Live and On-Demand Yoga Classes and the Live Your Yoga Podcast.
