“Johnna radiates love in all experiences! She is the teacher whose weekly class I hate to miss. Her inspiration spreads from the dedication she has for her students, to the journey she has taken to shine light on all offerings of life. She has a way of finding the richness within a person whether it be reminding you to activate a muscle in a particular pose in order to go deeper during yoga, in a meditative session to help you realize you have all that you need right there inside of you, or by joining you for a dive into the depths of why we feel the way we feel and how to navigate our journey forward. Not only does she have an entrancing focus on the areas that need our attention but she sticks around to help guide you through to the other side. She is the perfect balance of gentleness and strength. Johnna is a deeply studied teacher who helps bring any tight, unattended parts of you on a rich journey to get to know yourself, allowing the space for brilliant healing and peace. Thank you. Thank you. “~ Jennifer F

For starters, Johnna’s pure energy and enthusiasm for yoga is what ignited my love of yoga many years ago.
The joy she brings to her practice, coupled with her natural abilities to educate and relate make her an invaluable resource. Johnna’s gift of language, deep insights, and thoughtful understanding of the underlying philosophies has helped me to go beyond learning the physical practice, and has instilled within me a better understanding of what it means to live yoga off my mat. In short, I am immensely grateful to have her as my teacher, and as I’ve told my friends and family countless times, “We are beyond fortunate to have Johnna within our yoga community.” Heather M.

Ancestral Healing Workshop
In-Person Charlotte, NC
Sunday September 28, 2025 3-5:30 P.M.
Pitri Paksha is the sacred window for honoring those who came before us. For 2025, it runs September 17–October 2, 2024. We’ll gather for a guided Tarpana ritual on Sunday, September 28, 2025 at 3:00 PM to offer prayer, mantra, and simple offerings—lightening what’s heavy, amplifying the blessings, and opening space for love, prosperity, and freedom to flow forward.
In the Yoga and Ayurveda traditions, remembering our ancestors is a powerful catalyst for transformation. When unprocessed family stories stay blocked, they tend to repeat. By honoring and relating to our lineage with devotion, we create an opportunity to heal what hurts, keep what’s holy, and free ourselves—and future generations.
