Journeys with Johnna

Are you like me, look around at the collective world and ask, “WTH is going on here”?

The past 5 years have been a whirlwind for us globally and it’s not slowing down.

In 2015, I had a huge awakening that led me into traditional meditation, which was a game-changer. I healed so much in my body & mind through meditating daily.

In 2020 … can words even describe this experience yet …? My 2nd awakening hit along with millions of others, traditional meditation wasn’t working for me anymore.

So I took a lateral step into Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation that allows the nervous system to calm and recalibrate itself when you have a lot going on in the head. This style of meditation has saved me!

I’ve been a yoga, meditation, & spiritual guide for 6 years now, with Yoga Nidra yielding some powerful results for myself and my practitioners.

I believe Yoga Nidra to be the next wave of healing for the masses. join me in the workshop to learn why and how this meditation style will benefit your life. You’ll feel on a restful cloud nine following the meditation.

May 24 @ Casa de Luz ~ I look forward to meeting you and seeing you there!

Hit an unexpected milestone today! As I taught my 100th class .

When I first got my Yoga Teaching Certification 6 years ago in Bali, my intention was to deepen my personal practice. I felt shy and insecure to get up in front of people, I had ZERO intention of teaching. My instructors however, encouraged me that I was a natural teacher and to embrace this calling.

Well, as we know, life & the Universe had other plans! As soon as I finished my training I began teaching close friends or travel companions as I moved through Asia.

This certification has allowed me to teach my favorite movement style all over the world! Meet & make friends with some amazing people.

Moral of the story, go with flow. Allow yourself to be lead by Spirit and your life will open up in glorious ways. Let go of limiting beliefs to follow the flow more wholeheartedly.

Teaching yoga was my stepping stone into being a spiritual guide, retreat leader, and public speaker.

In the words of the world’s most famous Alabamian, Forest Gump, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”

In this case, I got a career that I LOVE showing up for! To me, that’s gold!

My most popular video on YouTube is a Yoga Nidra for self-love...
We all can use a little more self-love from time to time, woven into a meditation or relaxation period of the day.

Grab a quiet spot to lay down and practice this self-love meditation.
Enjoy!

Namaste ~ welcome to this Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation to assist you in cultivating a sense of self love. It's hard for us to love and accept others when...

After many years of requests, I've started that YouTube channel - Journeys with Johnna, for guided meditations, called Yoga Nidra.

This is a special meditation practice, in that it's for a busy, overthinking mind. It's for those who are stressed, overwhelmed, have anxiety or depression...because let's face it, the world is really tough sometimes.

Creating a safe place to be in your mind and body is the best medicine that you can give yourself and it can begin here with this style of practice.

Check out my channel and give it a listen. I HIGHLY recommend starting your day with this, it'll calm your nervous system, setting you up for a better day.

Yoga Nidra boosts the dopamine in your brain, naturally giving you a more healthy perspective on life and allowing your body to naturally heal itself.

The past few weeks of Resilience Roundtable has been such a blessing. I’ve been honored to host & guide each person who signs up.

Each week I’ll offer one tool to help you begin to build resiliency within your life.

We’re all moving through so so much. Take some time from your busy schedule, sit down to give yourself some space to open up, receive love & guidance from myself or those on the call.

This week I have one not so secret secret of how to quickly shift your mood, and move the nervous system out of fight or flight.

Perhaps you already know it … or perhaps I’ll offer a fresh perspective.

See you Thursday on the call.

Sign-up through my website, link is in the bio.

🌙 In person workshop in Houston.

𝓗𝓪𝓻𝓶𝓸𝓷𝔂 𝓕𝓵𝓸𝔀

This is an invitation for you to deepen your yoga practice by introducing somatic movement to release emotions stored in the body. Combined with EFT (Emotional Freedom Tapping) to alleviate stress within the body.

The body holds a magnitude of stress and emotions, some of it is related to your lifestyle, while other parts can be in the DNA passed down to you.

Regardless of the source of the tension, it’s stored in the body until you take the time to move through it and release it.

This workshop will teach you practices and tools for at home use to alleviate the tension in the body.

Giving you the opportunity for better sleep, more calm state of mind, and easing emotional strain. This workshop will leave you feeling relieved and confident to face emotions and let go of stress.

Last workshop at Pure Balance for this year, sign up soon as space is limited.

See you there. Let’s flow together!
