Joanna Colwell (she/her) is the founder and director of Otter Creek Yoga, in Middlebury, Vermont, which aspires to be an inclusive and anti racist yoga studio. Joanna came up with the idea to create the Yoga Equity Project in 2019, as a way to increase access to yoga for people of marginalized identities. Joanna comes from a long line of Jewish yogis (not really! but my awesome great aunt Mary did practice!) and is a certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher, mom, writer and activist.
