About:

Yoga to Joëlle is about connection with oneself and with one another. Her passion is to help people to connect through yoga. She believes that yoga helps us to be the best version of ourselves, on and off our mats. It gives us a better understanding of our inner voice and challenges our bodies to reach places that our minds don’t believe they can go. Whether you are interested in the physical challenges, the mental or spiritual aspects, she hopes yoga will improve your life as it has hers!

Thanks to her background as an economist and project manager, Joëlle also loves organising Yoga events and retreats around the world. Her Yoga Retreats are all about connection. She hosts retreats in South Africa, Bali and Europe. The biggest event that she organises is a charity event; International Day of Yoga in South Africa each June. Yoga practitioners and teachers come together to celebrate the gift of yoga, unite and raise funds for Earthchild Project.

Joëlle also loves assisting yoga teachers to find their own dharma – their unique purpose. Facilitating on the bi-yearly Level 2 300h Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training at Radiantly Alive in Ubud, Balil is therefore a true honour. She also facilitates a 100h (as part of a 300h) Yoga Teachers Training at Yogalife in Cape Town.

Joëlle is honored to be the Head of Yoga for Virgin Active in South Africa. This role allows her to inspire and support yoga teachers around the country and to ensure consistent high quality yoga classes at the many Virgin Active clubs.
