A Bit About Joey

I have been in love with yoga my whole life. When I was young, my mother would work out to Jane Fonda videos but it wasn’t until the “cool down” at the end, where Jane instructed us to do yoga poses like Snail and Shoulder Stand, that I would join in. Even as a child, I intuitively knew that there was something extra special about the way I felt when I brought my body into these poses. I finally decided to pursue my passion for yoga in 2022 when I signed up to take the 200 hour Teacher Training course on the Island of Nusa Lembongan in Bali, Indonesia at the Yoga Bliss Yoga Shala. This is where I found so much of who I now know myself to be. The next chapter of my journey had truly begun. I fell in love with the Ashtanga Yoga practice and the 8 limb path that is the philosophy behind yoga itself. Along my path, I was delighted to discover the healing benefits of pairing my beloved herb, Cannabis, with my practice. I truly feel yoga and cannabis are a match made in heaven. I find a different “strain” of enlightenment on my mat every single time I practice and I am so excited to share my joy with yogis and cannabis lovers alike.
