Joanne Smallwood

Fitness Instructor

I have been a devoted yoga practitioner since my twenties and have taught internationally for over 16 years. I spent 12 years practicing, learning and teaching yoga in Goa, India before moving to Dubai in 2017. I joined the Reform team in 2019. I fell in love with the Reform Method classes after having first-hand experience of its transformative strength-building potential as I used it to heal a long-standing hip injury. I now offer both Yoga and Reform Method classes and I believe they complement each other perfectly!
