Joni wants to share her decades of experience to help you cultivate resilience and find greater meaning in your life.

A Note From Joni

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to find your way back to peace. Years ago, I was searching too — for calm, for clarity, for something that felt real and lasting. Along the way, I discovered practices that changed my life: mindfulness, breathwork, nourishing food, gentle movement, yoga, and the study of Eastern philosophy, positive psychology, and purpose. These tools have carried me through life’s hardest seasons, and they continue to guide me every day.

Now, it’s my joy to share them with others — to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom, listen to your body with compassion, and find balance, ease, and meaning even when life feels uncertain. Together, we can create space for you to heal, grow, and remember who you really are.

With peace, light, and love,

~ Joni

Testimonials

“I keep using the word extraordinary. All week [at the retreat] I would catch myself saying, ‘That’s extraordinary, this is extraordinary.’ Every aspect of the week was extraordinary, and Joni was a big part of that.”
~ J.H., first-time retreat participant

Joni’s training was an amazing experience. She is full of wisdom and created a team and program that allows you to rediscover—or discover parts of yourself that you didn’t even know were there. I highly recommend Joni and any program she is involved with.”

“Insight with Joni’s Yoga Retreat on the island of Sicily was my first yoga retreat, and it was wonderful. The space was beautiful, and the daily programs were relaxing, informative, and rejuvenating. Sharing this experience in the beautiful surroundings and with so many lovely people has made a lasting impression on me. I look forward to future retreats.”

~ Warren, Pittsburgh, PA 

Joni's 200-hour yoga teacher training is one of the best things I've done for myself and one I am forever grateful for. I went into the training wanting to know more about yoga in all its forms; not just the physical "flow" but mental and emotional practices as well...I came out with an understanding of all that yoga can do and be for me as well as for any type of practitioner we may come across. I have valuable tools from Joni's program, from understanding asanas and alignment to practicing mindfulness and meditation, and so much more! And I use these tools for myself every day.

~Andrea L, Pittsburgh, PA
