Joelle has spent her life exploring bodywork disciplines, initially coming to yoga to protect herself from injury whilst touring as a contemporary dancer.
She travelled to India in 2011 to explore its classical roots, completing her first 200hr TTC in Sivananda in the beautiful Madurai Ashram, continuing onto graduate from Triyoga's 2 year Advanced TTC in 2018 with her mentor's Jean Hall and Anna Ashby.

Passionate about current research on embodiment, physiology, mindfulness and creativity she encourages practitioners to be playful and present. She leads a deep soulful practice to stimulate the body's inherent self-healing and regenerating capacities through improved circulation, range of movement, postural alignment and deep relaxation.

Having taught in London for 11 years she co-created Hourglass/Ground Yoga, a Cafe & Yoga Space next to Clissold Park in 2018. During the Pandemic classes moved to the lovely community studio around the corner Hackney Showroom where she continues to teach alongside a handful of other lovely, local, studios.
