The combination of Qi Gong, Yoga and Tai Chi have brought harmonious maintenance for her mind, body and spirit.

Physically recovering from automobile accidents, emotionally from ancestral trauma and the rewiring of brain functions are the benefits that she wants to share.

Through mindful movement meditation practices we can shift from a state of fight or flight to a restorative Zen Zone. This is vital in today’s high paced anxiety ridden world.

I worked as a professional dancer in NYC for several years (I started dancing at the age of two, if you can believe that) and have been in the fitness industry in NYC for just as long. I am a 500-hour Yoga Teacher, hold several other fitness industry training credentials and still occasionally teach in NYC when I am up that way.

It is my goal for people to move to feel better about themselves and stay healthy. I want to be able to make people literally Sweat and Smile. This is why I created my brand SweatySmiles by Johanna. In order to stick with an exercise program, you have to enjoy it. Not everyone loves to exercise and I recognize that. If you are one of those people then hopefully you will find one of my classes so much fun that you forgot you were working out. Already love to exercise? Then the more intense classes are for you. Want your own personalized workout? Then personal yoga sessions might be best for you. Whatever your yoga needs might be. You came to the right place.

With over 30 years of experience, Joy took her first Yoga teacher training back in 1992 with Erich Schiffman and Rod Stryker at Yogaworks in Santa Monica, CA.  Then in 1995, she was certified through Ana Forrest's training at Forrest Yoga. Joy has been truly fortunate to have been trained by many of the 'greats' such as Tim Feldman, Alan Finger, Sharon Gannon, Julie Gudmestad, David Life, Kino McGregor,  and David Miliotis.  Each has brought a different depth to a facet of Joy's knowledge and yoga journey.

Her classes are especially focused on alignment and giving modifications or advancements to individualize the practice for each student.  Her background of teaching Anatomy and Physiology at the Massage School of Santa Monica gives her that advantage to detail. Joy has also led numerous Yoga Teacher Trainings over the years with many of those graduates across the country having a thriving following.

As of 2025, Dunnellon, FL is Joy’s new home. A 2022 Ayurvedic Practitioner graduate from the Ayurvedic Institute, Joy is a true believer that Ayurveda and Yoga are for EVERY body and that with steady practice, these ancient healing arts can heal the world through their beautiful and profound simplicity. She creates a safe atmosphere, whether you've been doing yoga/practicing Ayurveda for decades or are a tentative newbie.  She prides herself in translating these Eastern modalities in a clear and non-intimidating manner.
