Joan was a design director before becoming a yoga teacher. Suffering from rheumatoid arthritis due to overworking and stress awakened her decision to redefine life’s priority. Joan left her corporate job in 2017 and started her first teacher training. Joan has been a true loyal PURE Yogini for over 20 years and is influenced by many great teachers including Yogananth Andiappan, Patrick Creelman, Jason Crandell and handstand master Miguel Santana. Joan feels blessed to teach at PURE, where she started practicing.

Alignment 1 – Urdhva Dhanurasana ( Wheel pose )

Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana) is a backbend that is characterized as a beginner’s backbend, but it still requires building up strength and flexibility to achieve it which challenges many students. There are plenty of benefits from wheel pose – it opens the chest, shoulders, and hips in a way that counteracts the typical modern-day sitting posture.
This class is an asana practice that explores various poses through clear and intelligent alignment, building strength and ultimately creating a thorough understanding of headstand practice.
