“Joel clearly has a deep understanding of the experience of the participant in his classes. His guiding dialogue shows an understanding of where minds might wander, where and when particular muscle tension might be experienced and ways to modify the practice for either greater comfort or greater intensity. His calm and relaxed confidence really adds a powerful dimension to the entire experience.”

“Right before starting class I was having lower back pain and through the course of the class I was able to alleviate some of the pain with the stretching techniques that Joel provided. Having this been my first class he made it easy to follow and enjoyable. Look forward to taking his class again.”

“I Love the deep stretches. It was truly stretching and relaxing at the same time! I had my eyes closed almost the whole time, but when I needed it was helpful to look up and see Joel demonstrate especially when using the straps.”

“If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with Joel, Take it. Joel truly embodies wellness and shares his knowledge of health and fitness with those he meets. Joel is very intuitive and his classes reflect that. His Park stretch class is also enhanced by the rustling of the trees and the sounds of the many birds and distant waves. Give a class a try, you’ll feel great.”

ABOUT JOEL
Welcome, I’m Joel and I’m the founder of Heart Center Wellness. If you’re on this page it means that you’re probably looking to find ways to feel more calm & centered in your life in the same way I was when I began my journey.
As I look back, my anxiety started as early as I can remember. By the time i was 14 I was prescribed zoloft for anxiety and panic attacks which also triggered a belief that something must be wrong with me and led me doing everything I could to keep it a secret! As time wen’t on I found more coping mechanisms like alcohol and began living smaller and smaller until a day at age 23 when I realized that my anxiety had gotten so bad that I could barely leave the house! It’s said that “the awareness is the gold” and for me it’s true. That moment of awareness where I truly understood just how bad things had become turned Into the wake-up call I needed to begin the process of healing.
I began taking therapy at my school and reading books on panic and anxiety. Slowly I began to work with and move towards my anxiety instead of hiding from it, which is the most important piece. I also began a Masters Degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology and over time as I looked for more holistic ways to heal, began to uncover the Yoga, Meditation and Centering practices that are still the cornerstone of my daily wellness practice today. I wish that I could say its an easy process, but the reality is that all the best magic comes with consistent practice over time.
Now many years later as a Certified Gentle Yoga Instructor and Health & Wellbeing Coach, I’m grateful for the opportunity to share these powerful physical and mental practices with others and see the profound impact they have on their lives as well.
With Intention,
Joel
