Welcome to Y.O.G.A.
Your Own Great Adventure
My name is Joan Radford. My lifelong passion for activity and movement has grown into a vibrant career in the Fitness, Health and Wellness industry. As an athlete, I always knew that I felt the most passionate, joyful and happy when I was training and moving. When I integrated and practiced yoga in my regular training it holistically connected my body, mind and spirit to a positive and healthy place.
My Yoga teacher journey brought me to explore many different practices including Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga across North America. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to train and experience the authenticity, sincerity and generosity of so many wonderful yoga teachers and leaders. I have also had the opportunity to gain additional training and certifications in specialty areas including; Sustainable Yoga throughout Aging, Yoga for Athletes, Yoga for Women’s Health, Biomechanics and Anatomy, Restorative and Yin Yoga, Yoga for Pain Care; Self-Myofascial Release, Advanced Asana Study, Mindful Meditation Teacher Training and Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Teacher Training.
In creating Your Own Great Adventure Y.O.G.A., my goal is to build a welcoming and diverse yoga community. It is my hope that my yoga classes will offer a unique and uplifting experience. I am committed to challenging and celebrating each individual by leading a practice that combines the foundational basics of breath with movement with athleticism, offering options and alternatives that will ignite everyone’s yoga adventure.
I am certified as E-RYT 200hr, 500 hr RYT and YACEP. I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology, a BEd in Special Education and a Master’s in Business Administration. I am internationally certified through Fitness Alberta as a Trainer-Educator of fitness leaders.
I look forward to welcoming you to "Your Yoga Adventure".
