Breathwork Facilitator

Big Joe began his yoga practice back in 2009 while playing football at UCLA. After 4 years in the NFL, a severe ankle injury altered his life’s course and ended a lifelong commitment to the sport. Anxiety & Depression became frequent combatants to a once joyous and purposeful existence. In 2018, Big Joe began his spiritual journey then added meditation & Breathwork into his daily practice. Over the last 6 years, Big Joe has expanded his education while receiving 3 different certifications as a facilitator for trauma release breathwork and ancient pranayama techniques.
