Mindful Reset: Embrace Restoration & Community in Portugal with Johnathon Holmes
Your TourHero
Johnathon is a Queer POC who aims to hold space that is inclusive, affirming, and accessible for students of all skill levels wishing to practice in a way that cultivates deeper self-awareness through focusing the attention on the body and breath. I believe the simplest practices can be the most transformative, growing our ability to pause and respond, rather than react. Linking breath and movement seems so simple, yet has such a profound effect when practiced with purpose. As a Nurse Practitioner, I’m also interested in how the regular practice of yoga can help my students cultivate physical, emotional, and spiritual health. My class is an expression of my love for playfulness and structure.
