If anyone is interested in improving their health and flexibility then you should consider incorporating stretch and restore yoga to your wellness routine!  You should book a class with Johanna Marsan!!!! Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about yoga (she's been doing it since she was 5 years old) but is compassionate, humble, patient, and the most genuine person you will ever meet, and that shines through as she teaches you how stretch your body according to your abilities....and she has plenty of pose modifications so that you are comfortable while holding the pose.

Her teaching style is the best I've found so far because she educates you using basic anatomy so that you understand what you are doing!

She is offering weekly classes at the Whispering Pines community center! Her classes have helped my overall wellness in an immense way and I am forever grateful, and I want to inform anyone who is interested!

Being a massage therapist, I have very high standards on instructors and Johanna checks EVERY box!

I have been attending these classes for the past 4 months.  NEVER HAVING PRACTICED YOGA IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! . And at my age it was a huge leap of Faith!  One of the best decisions I have made!

Johanna Marsan is an incredible instructor who truly loves what she does.  She maintains a fun and informative class while assisting her students who are ALL AT DIFFERENT LEVELS.  BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED!  NO ONE IS LEFT OUT!

That said, the attending students are very welcoming, friendly and always willing to encourage and assist each other!  The energy from the classes is amazing.

So if you haven’t tried yoga, I absolutely recommend it.  And I certainly recommend Johanna Marsan Yoga! Hope you decide to join us and share in the fun!

I’ve been going to Lake Hernando Yoga for about a year and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. Johanna is so encouraging and really takes the time to explain how to do the poses correctly, plus she makes even the most difficult classes a lot of fun. There is a wide range of classes, so there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend trying a class. You’ll love it!

Johanna Marsen is a truly inspiring teacher. Her approach to ensuring each pose is reached in a safe manner while also explaining the benefits and purpose keeps me engaged and deepens my understanding of this beautiful life practice we call Yoga. She is creative in the class offerings provided to the community, always asking for feedback to ensure her students are fulfilled, stay engaged and get an opportunity to experience all that Yoga has to offer.

These past few months i’ve been attending Johanna’s yoga classes and have progressed more than I could’ve ever imagined thanks to her. I’ve found so much happiness and relaxation practicing yoga and my body feels so great. I could not be more grateful to be taught by such a talented person or to have met all of the amazing people I’ve met at this studio. All of them are such an inspiration!

I’ve taken classical Hatha and yin classes at Lake Hernando Yoga. I have found my studio home. Johanna is the perfect combination of warm and sweet, but she will also encourage you to meet your edge and progress. I love the challenge she builds into her teaching.

Johanna makes everyone feel welcome and loved. Even though the class I took was in a group setting, it felt very individualized. She makes everyone feel special. I left feeling stretched and challenged and relaxed.

The end time meditation was beautiful as Johanna plays the bowls. I loved every minute.
