Joan Hyman is heading to Australia in March 2027 and will be at Elements Studio in Brisbane to offer a workshop — From Foundation to Freedom: A Journey Through the Body, Breath & Energy.

Two days of immersive yoga designed to deepen your understanding of the body and expand your practice from the ground up. Movement, anatomy, breath, and yogic philosophy — woven together into something practical, accessible, and genuinely transformative.

Whether you're a dedicated student, a curious practitioner, or an experienced teacher — you'll leave with fresh insights, greater confidence, and tools that travel with you long after the weekend ends.

📍 Elements Studio, Brisbane
🗓 March 20–21, 2027

Conscious Intention ✨

There is power in setting a clear intention—but there is also power in knowing when to let it go.
We can consciously choose the direction we want to move in, plant the seed, and take the steps that align with it. But then comes the harder part: releasing our attachment to exactly how or when it should unfold.

Yoga teaches us to practice with intention while letting go of the outcome. To do the work, stay present, and trust the process.
Set the intention.
Plant the seed.
Take aligned action.
Then give it space to grow.
Sometimes the most beautiful transformations happen when we stop trying to control the outcome and simply trust. ❤️

Mayurasana
Peacock Pose

Mayurasana is a powerful arm balance that requires deep abdominal engagement, strength, stamina, and focus.

Some of the reasons we practice this posture:

• Strengthens the core. We have core muscles on all four sides of the trunk, so while the abdominals are working, the muscles that support and extend the spine are also active.

• Builds strength in the wrists, forearms, shoulders, upper back, and arms.

• Encourages awareness of Uddiyana Bandha—the lifting and drawing inward of the lower abdomen—which can help support and stabilize the lower back.

• The pressure of the elbows against the abdomen may stimulate the abdominal area and support healthy digestion.

• Develops balance, concentration, courage, and mental steadiness.

• Strengthens the entire body as one integrated unit, teaching us how to create both effort and lightness at the same time.

Mayurasana reminds us that strength is not only about force—it is also about focus, coordination, patience, and trust.

Switzerland is always special for me. I’ve been teaching there since 2012, and aside from 2020, I’ve returned every year, leading numerous trainings and workshops.

I’ve made dear friends, taught incredible students, and I love the beauty of this country—and yes, have I mentioned the fresh air? Good quality air makes all the difference in the world!

Thank you to So Ham Yoga Studio for hosting me and to all of the dedicated students who came out for this five-day intensive.

To have the time to practice yoga is a privilege, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach, connect, and share this practice with so many. ❤️

Thank you, VoyageLA , for giving me a space to share my story and how yoga has transformed my life.

The healing journey is never linear, but when we commit to the work and find the courage to heal our trauma, we gain the ability to support others in their own healing process.

That is what my teaching and trainings have always been about—sharing the tools that have helped me heal, grow, and transform.

Need a little pick-me-up? ✨

Enjoy this FREE 30-minute Vinyasa Flow designed to both release tension and build strength in the shoulders.

We’ll move through a dynamic, energizing practice with shoulder openers, inversions, and plenty of space to create more freedom through the upper body—finishing with a nourishing twist to help you unwind.

A short practice to help you feel stronger, more open, and refreshed.

Practice with me anytime, anywhere. 🧘‍♀️

Leaving Zürich with my heart full. ❤️

A huge thank you to Olive Ssembuze for hosting me this weekend, and to the amazing 300-hour students who showed up with so much curiosity and openness for my Injury Management & Restorative Yoga module.

Teaching always fills my cup, especially when I get to share what I love with such receptive and dedicated students. I’m leaving feeling inspired, grateful, and deeply nourished.

And Zürich gave me the most beautiful weather and the perfect day off! ☀️

Lake and spa time with Olive, and reconnecting and deepening our thirty year friendship.
