About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Johanna L. Baldino is a dedicated yoga instructor with a passion for holistic healing and mindful movement. She completed her yoga teacher training in Bali, Indonesia, in 2022 where we spent 2 months immersing herself in the cultures and came back specializing in Ashtanga, Yin, Hatha, and Restorative yoga.
Originally from New York, she relocated to California in 2015 to be closer to her sister and her family. Now based in Sacramento and Vacaville, she is a proud cat mom to two beloved feline companions—Toulouse, a Maine Coon, and Loki, a Russian Blue.
Currently, she teaches at five local yoga studios, offering a range of classes and workshops. Her signature Yoga for Migraines workshop, inspired by her personal healing journey, is hosted at select studios, alongside her newest workshop, Yoga for Divorce, launching at Summer Moon in Curtis Park and Yoga Yolo in Woodland CA. In addition to studio classes, she provides private lessons and leads themed yoga events at local wineries, breweries and hotels incorporating concepts like the Ashtanga Eight Limbs, the Laws of the Universe, Chakra Alignment, and Moon Phases to support sleep, stress management, posture, circulation, flexibility, and mental well-being.
Having suffered from chronic migraines since age eight due to a head injury, she struggled for years with little relief. It wasn’t until she began studying and practicing yoga in 2020 that she experienced a profound shift—her migraines stopped entirely. This transformation inspired her to develop a specialized course aimed at helping fellow migraine sufferers find relief through yoga and mindfulness.
Her work in the yoga industry has always been driven by a vision: To create transformative retreat experiences that elevate health, wellness, mindfulness, peace & relaxation to en entirely new level.
With a deep commitment to sharing the healing power of yoga, Johanna continues to inspire and support others on their wellness journeys.
