After years of avid whitewater kayaking, Joe’s chronic back pain led him to his life’s passion, the study and teaching of yoga.

Joe believes, as a yoga teacher, in the power to heal on many levels. Joe enjoys witnessing those blessed moments on the mat when a student connects to her individual beauty and experiences how the body is a vessel for the spirit’s journey.  He infuses in his classes a deep, life-affirming philosophy through myths, story-telling, and his own life’s trials and tribulations.

Joe spent ten years studying the Anusara Yoga and feels deep gratitude for this foundation as a teacher. Joe has been teaching yoga full-time since 2006. Joe teaches weekly classes, teacher trainings, therapeutics, immersions, workshops and offers private one-on-one instruction. Joe has been fortunate to be a part of Asheville Yoga Center’s teacher training program as one of the course instructors.  Many of his students have expressed their gratitude for his insights into their own healing journey.

Enjoy this one hour podcast where Joe shares his wonderful insights and life lessons he has discovered through yoga to transform his life and help others to do the same. Joe is a storyteller who weaves mythology into his classes and shares a story of how to experience the goodness of life.  Joe is gifted in his ability to describe how we can live well in our lives with balance, mindfulness, and heart.
