Joanna DeLuca

As a competitive gymnast I have always had a passion for dynamic movement and pushing the limits of my body. While many years of intense gymnastic training strengthened my form, it was not until I became serious with my yoga practice that I strengthened the abilities of my mind as well. Coming from such a competitive sport I found it difficult to make time to pause, listen to and honour my body’s needs. With dedication to my practice, I have found peace and tranquility while remaining active. I strongly believe that yoga has the ability to ground you, centre you, relieve stress and give balance to a hectic and busy life. As a passionate worldwide traveller and soon to be Registered Nurse, I am able to incorporate yoga in all aspects of my life. I dedicate my careers (both as a future nurse and yoga instructor) to caring for others as holistically as possible. My goal is to share the benefits of yoga and help others find the balanced lifestyle that yoga has given me. If there is anything else to know about me it is that I am free spirited and have a zest for life. Although I do take yoga seriously, I find it important to make your practice fun and encourage others to leave their comfort zone. I truly believe life is to be embraced and experienced; accepting life’s imperfections and finding the beauty the world has to offer.
