Joanne Rowley

Joanne is certified as a 500 hour Kripalu yoga teacher and served as founding board member and Program Director of the Kripalu Teachers Association. She shared in the creation and direction of Boston's' first Yoga & Psychotherapy Center, New Directions. Her cross training in Body-Mind Centering, Experiential Anatomy, Mind/Body Medicine and Mindfulness/Insight Meditation along with studies with creative Iyengar yoga teachers has nourished her clinical work as a Holistic Nurse and Therapist.

Joanne's restorative yoga classes are inspired by her studies with Judith Lasater and Carol Nelson, author and model of RELAX & RENEW.

"I began teaching 18 years ago, after decades of yoga exploration. I embrace a feminine approach to yoga inviting a creative curiosity to support a deeper listening and living from the inside out. For me, the practices continue to be a means to cultivate stillness, spaciousness and presence. I aspire to bring a warmth and light hearted wisdom to this process.
