"Peace and quiet and open air, wait for us Somewhere."
-West Side Story
What if that somewhere is....Here?
Right Now, within you.
What if you have the capability of tapping into your inner peace in the house of yourSelf? If that feels like a challenge to you, please know you're not alone. This is why I am birthing my newest creative vision into existence: The Peace House. The Peace House is an online yoga community dedicated to helping you remember your inherent capacity for peace.
The Indian system of Yoga has helped me so much in remembering my capacity for peace, and to understand that it takes time and sincere effort to cultivate it, day by day.
Are you looking for more peace in your life? Are you hoping to bring more peace to your relationships? To our world? Welcome to The Peace House.
I'm so grateful to be practicing alongside you,
MaryJoanna

The Peace House
"MaryJoanna has given me tools to equip & comfort me when anxiety or fear arises; she has taught me ancient Indian forms of yogic breathwork and mindfulness that make an impact on my daily life; and most importantly, she has taught me to find deep, compassionate love for myself -- where it was not present before." - Desi, NYC
This space is for you. For us.
​
Yoga has core values of Non-violence (Ahimsa) and Liberation (Moksha) from the things that confuse us into seperateness.
The Peace House is a community that is rooted in these values.
​
You don't need to be flexible to do yoga.
In fact, yoga has so much more to it than movement.
You don't need to be anything other than YOU
to begin to practice and live yoga.
​
Yoga is for EVERYBODY. Yoga is not only for some, but intended for us all. This space joyfully and wholeheartedly welcomes each of you here - in celebration of your diversity of gender or non-gender, your race, culture, religious beliefs, physical ability, neuro-diversity, sexual orientation, economic status, or any other ways you identify with being.

My deep reverence and gratitude to India for the brilliant system and teachings of Yoga. My deep reverence and gratitude to all of my teachers who have shared this wisdom with me. My deep gratitude and reverence for the lands which I have learned and practice yoga on and, to the original stewards of those lands; The Munsee Lenape and Canarsie Tribes (now known as New York City, Queens and Brooklyn), The Lumbee, Roanoke, Croatan, and Hatteras Tribes (now known as The Outer Banks, NC).
