Wise Body Healing Yoga, Massage and Bodywork, Yoga Therapy in Great Barrington

Johanna is an extraordinary teacher and healer. I cannot recommend her enough. Even though I am a beginner and sometimes feel challenged by yoga, she supports me on my own journey with my body, offering modified poses and paying attention to my needs. It’s clear Johanna has loads of experience, with teaching, bodywork, and interpersonal communication. She’s an absolute gift to our community and I’m so thankful for her wisdom and ease.

Johanna is incredible to work with. I’ve been with her for years through different body pains and through pregnancy, (her prenatal massage changed so much in my body, and I was Especially grateful right after having the baby.) Johanna has a calming energy and her physical strength balanced with intuition for how to heal a body is unparalleled.

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Johanna wise from wise body and healing who came to my rented home in Great Barrington with my family as well. She took a group of 10 and taught them some yoga and basic stretching techniques and how to work as a group together. Her gentleness and understanding to the different ages and their abilities that was a challenge that she handled so well . She made the time we spent with her so wonderful for all of us. I would highly recommend her.

Not being a yoga fan I was skeptical about taking Johanna’s class with my family this pas weekend. I have to say that I am a convert. I am a beginner but Johanna was so patient and kind and knowledgeable. We did a class where we partnered up and did these amazing stretches and maneuvers. I am a longtime runner that desperately needs some stretching routine in her life. Johanna made it fun and I felt like I stretched properly for the first time. I did her class in the Berkshires but was excited to hear she is in NYC several days a week. I will definitely do more classes with her. Thanks for making the weekend so special!!

I’ve been working with Johanna for three months and I can’t recommend her enough. Her teaching style is a perfect blend of mindfulness, technique, and warmth. Each session is thoughtfully structured to not only challenge me physically but also to nurture my mental and emotional well-being. Johanna has an incredible ability to guide me through both calming and invigorating flows, always providing modifications for different levels of experience. Her deep knowledge of anatomy and yoga philosophy is evident, and I appreciate how she always encourage me to listen to my bodies and move at my own pace. The balance of focus on breathing, alignment, and meditation has truly helped me become more present, both on and off the mat. What really sets Johanna apart is her genuine care and support. Whether it's a personal check-in after class or gentle words of encouragement during practice, I always feel seen and valued. She creates such a welcoming and inclusive space that it’s easy to leave each session feeling more centered and grounded. If you're looking for a yoga instructor who fosters growth in both body and mind, Johanna is the one to go to. I’m so grateful for the positive impact her instruction and guidance has on my practice and overall well-being.

When I stepped into Johanna’s studio, I knew I was in for something special. From the start, her attentive nature made me feel truly seen and heard. She took the time to listen to my concerns, crafting a personalized experience that was nothing short of magical. The massage itself was a beautiful blend of techniques, each one expertly applied to melt away my tension and rejuvenate me. I also enjoyed when Johanna incorporated the yoga therapy, which added an extra layer of relief. If you’re seeking a massage and yoga therapist who combines skills with genuine care, I highly recommend her! Thank you Johanna for such a wonderful experience!

I have received bodywork from many massage therapists over the years, but Johanna truly stands out as exceptional. I've been seeing her for over a decade, and her skill and expertise are unparalleled. Having a fused spine from scoliosis surgery, I have specific needs, and I've always felt completely safe and cared for in her knowledgeable hands. As my needs for pressure have changed over time, Johanna has consistently adjusted her technique to provide the perfect amount of pressure, whether more or less was needed. Beyond her remarkable talent as a therapist, she is a genuine pleasure to be around. Her warmth and professionalism are why I have confidently referred my partner, children, and friends to her as well."
