Periwinkle Yogi, Joyanna, or Joy, is a 200-hour registered yoga teacher through the YTT Collective with three years of practicing experience as well as obtaining a Reiki Healing Master certification through Joiful Yoga. She prefers to teach a slower style of yoga so that you can safely transition from any pose and feel the alignment at any point; if you feel like something is not for you, you are welcomed to find your own pose, take a break, or request guidance for a better suited pose for your body.
Joy also has her Cosmetology license through Chattahoochee Technical college with several years of experimenting with different hair cuts and colours over the years. She prioritizes an in-depth consultation to better understand your hair goals. As a newer stylist, she is also very communicative on her confidence and capabilities.
Before starting yoga, Joy couldn't even reach her feet, and even then, felt pain when attempting to do so. At the recommendation of a close friend, she begrudgingly tried a yoga class and immediately craved more. Even though it took time and effort to reach desired milestones, Joy loved the compassion and encouragement from both teachers and students to try new things and acknowledge that small steps are big deals! After finding more comfort and peace within her own mind and body, Joy pursued her Yoga Teacher Certification in order to offer the same feeling to others.
As for hair, Joy has been practicing hair on both herself and her friends since early high school. She wasn't sure if it was something she wanted to pursue, but with a nudge of confidence from her childhood hair stylist, she gave it a try and her love for cosmetology grew from there.
Joyanna’s primary goal as a teacher is to help students find a sense of self while building confidence, trust, and acceptance within. She also works to explain things in a digestible manner and encourages clarifying questions to be asked as she wants you to be able to understand and use these tools in your day-to-day experience. This life is all about growth and just enjoying each moment as they come no matter how crazy they may feel.
