Johanna Hynes
Johanna aspired to teach yoga while living in NYC, as a means of deepening her own understanding of the practice. Intrigued by the philosophical system that asana stems from Johanna was drawn to the Jivamukti Yoga School where she completed a 300 hour certification. During that time, Johanna gained a strong foundation of anatomy, philosophy, Sanskrit and sequencing. Upon moving to Boston, Johanna felt her own practice shifting towards a more subtle examination of the body/mind and began to study regularly under Barbara Benagh and Patricia Walden.
Johanna’s teaching reflects the Jivamukti, Iyengar, and Benagh methods. She provides her students with physical rigor, philosophy, breath awareness and enough time to feel what’s happening, as it’s happening. The path of motherhood has served to be one of Johanna’s greatest sources of inspiration, providing a freshness and sense of adventure to each day. Johanna continues to expand her understanding of yoga and its prominent place in today’s culture as a Masters candidate at Harvard University where she is currently studying Religion.
