Joanie Delph

Joanie Delph discovered her love of Ashtanga yoga seven years ago while joining six friends for a 9-week New Beginners course at Yoga on High. By the fifth week, she noticed relief in her stressed-out body and an unexplainable happiness in her soul. Finding time to “practice” was a challenge, but paid off generously in her mind, body and spirit. She had never felt better. That love and belief in the Ashtanga Yoga System motivated her to complete Yoga on High’s 200-level teacher training program, so she now gets to share the practice with others. Over the past seven years, Joanie has attended workshops with wonderful teachers such as Tim Miller, Maty Ezraty, Matthew Sweeney, and Manju Jois. She recently returned from Goa, India, where she spent five months studying Ashtanga Yoga with Rolf and Marci Naujokat. Learning from such teachers has enriched her own practice and given her more to offer students. She hopes to continue to study abroad. Joanie credits her Ashtanga yoga practice with helping her find her inner truth, which led her to Reiki and creative writing. She currently practices Reiki level II and is finishing her first novel. Teaching gives her an opportunity to help others find their own happiness and joy, or enhance what they already have. What an amazing gift!!
