Joan began practicing yoga over 15 years ago in North Dakota when she was introduced to Iyengar Yoga in a theatre class. After her first class she knew she would be teaching one day. Her journey took her to Los Angeles where she completed YogaWorks Teacher Training in 2006 & YogaWorks Professional Program in 2009.

Joan leads a fun and challenging class in a relaxed atmosphere where she infuses the alignment details of Iyengar with the heat and breath of Ashtanga. She believes yoga helps create a balance between strength and flexibility in our bodies and minds. It starts in the yoga room and eventually moves beyond the edges of the yoga mat into our everyday lives.

Joan teaches at Silver Lake Yoga, Glendale Yoga, and Rising Lotus Yoga. She is also available for private yoga instruction. You can contact her at joanlauckner@yahoo.com
