Joanna Stone

Joanna (aka Jo) created Barre Vida based on her knowledge of barre workouts, dance, fitness, and physical therapy exercises. Understanding the body from within (somatic awareness) is her research and educating others to understand their bodies is her job. Empowering students to reach their personal fitness and health goals is her passion. Dance is her art. Barre Vida is an extension of Joanna’s personal mission to bring movement back into life starting at the barre. Joanna is a fitness instructor certified with AFAA, a RYT, and have an MA and BA in dance. In her classes expect to be pushed in a safe, fun, and encouraging environment!  She loves to teach!
