Mission Statement

The gift of Yoga is a harmonious path. It is a fully awakened, vibrant way of being. I revere the delicate balance the teacher maintains when Yoga becomes a career. With gratitude, humility and appreciation, I extend my offerings of Yoga service. After teaching thousands of students in thousand of classes, I wish to honor this Gift by sharing my knowledge, insights and experience with others who choose this path. This is a blending of the love, joy and passion of a personal yogic life with that of a teaching yoga career----creating a heightened reality. Therefore, I now offer YogaOptions School.

Terrence Kempher, LMT,RQ,CPFT:
I have known Joanne Wahrer, the director and primary teacher of this program, for many years. In addition to her outstanding professional credentials, she is a real person - with real-life issues (just like us), who applies the yogic principles and philosophy to her own life. Joanne is the real deal, authentic both in and out of the classroom - truly a master teacher. This is your opportunity for a great "life enrichment" experience, through in-depth yoga training with her.
