Yoga Delta

In the last 10 years or so, I’ve been in more than a few yoga classes. What I love the most about practicing is that it isn’t something where one ever «arrives» or has to concern themselves with competitiveness. It’s an opportunity to connect back in with yourself and unplug from work, worries or that pesky monkey mind.
To attend a yoga class by JoAnn is to emerge after feeling peaceful and serene. Her instruction is excellent and there’s always a sense of humor and lightness in her class. She is someone who instinctively knows how to read the room and stays conscious of addressing any individual concerns. But beyond all this, what I feel sets her apart is her genuineness. This woman doesn’t have an ounce of pretension in her body. And i reeeaally appreciate this in a yoga teacher. This is not an affected environment. Her class embodies what yoga is to me: getting back to the simple perfection of feeling centered.

I was introduced to Yoga by Joann at UFC. I walked into her class as an injured, non-​flexible, very stiff mess. She was very a patient and helpful teacher throughout. She even lent me her mat when I complained that mine was not thick enough for my painful knees.
Slowly but surely with her help and dedication I started to come along; my injured abused started to heal and the rest of me followed.
And now it is my turn to follow her to her new studio, and bring some balance back into my life.

JoAnn is an amazing teacher! I love taking her classes.
She is a wonderful combination of warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and nurturing.
Her classes are well rounded so they are perfect for everyone no matter what their prior yoga experience. I can’t wait to take my next class! Thanks JoAnn

JoAnn is an incredible Yoga instructor. I took her class and was blown away with how fantastic it was. It’s clear that she loves teaching Yoga. She has such a warm and welcoming energy and is also extremely knowledgeable. I felt fantastic after I took her class. It’s nice to be in a class where the instructor is so passionate about what she is doing and also cares so deeply for her students. I highly recommend taking JoAnn’s Yoga class. It’s hands down the best Yoga class that I’ve ever been in and I can honestly say that JoAnn is the best Yoga teacher that I’ve ever had.

I first met JoAnn in Texas at another gym not knowing anything about a gym or working out she came right up to me because I didn’t stay in her class. NOT BECAUSE I DIDN’T LIKE HER OR SHE DID SOMETHING WRONG I just couldn’t follow her steps so she came a and got me and talked to me about another class and told me to stay behind her to learn it all and that’s what I did I’ve been a few other places but I have never met someone that cares so much about her students than she does. I’d still be in her classes today if I could be in California. I’m proud I met her and been taught by her I would highly recommend her to anybody

I moved to California on June 2015. No friends and no job here. I joined UFC gym and tried Joann’s class. That was it. I found my moment, my happiness and the peace that I needed to start a new and fresh life in California. She is an incredible yoga master/​instructor/​teacher and 先生！
She is sweet and takes care of her yogi students (always giving you variations in case you are in pain in a specific part of your body).
She pays attention to your position and corrected you (thank you for teaching me how to do Cobra!!! I finally get it). She is adaptable and warm, establishes always a welcome environment without judgments as she uses to say in her classes ;)
You are not going to regret! Go and try one of her classes !

First, let me say that the reason I joined UFC was because of its class staff. I go for the Yoga classes, and last year I found my spot in Joann’s yoga class.
Not only is Joann an accomplished Yogi, she is a mellow soul who taps into the Yoga potential of those who are new as well as those who are continuing their practice. Where ever Joann teaches I hope to find her.
In an era of high intensity, joint jarring, pressure for output aerobics classes, Joann ‘s classes are an oasis for the common sense approach to fitness of body and mind. She helps those who are new feel welcome and those of us who are always looking for a Yoga home base, feel as if they found their home.
Where ever Joann teaches, I will find myself. I hope She continues her Yogi journey for many years leading other UFC Yogi’s in their journey. We are blessed to have Jo as our guide in joining our body and mind.

To call JoAnn a yoga teacher feels like an understatement. She truly embodies the life of a yogi — with compassion, truth and wisdom. She loves to help people but she doesn’t preach. She leads by example in and outside of her classes. So happy to have learned about her classes!
