Joseph Lauricella

Joseph has been a bodyworker and teacher of massage therapy throughout the US. He believes that massage therapy or integrated bodywork, like yoga, is a gateway into physical and emotional healing. He has been working with people on this level for over 12 years. Joseph has been practicing yoga in some form or another for over 10 years. On one dark, cold and lonely night, in upstate NY, he was kicked out of Border's Bookstore while clutching onto Baron's first book! "The day I found Journey Into Power was the day yoga began making so much more sense to me, and the path has been well lit ever since."

In 2004, he opened Body Wisdom Yoga in Tucson Arizona, mostly on faith! He is currently the only Baptiste Certified Teacher in the state, and continues to share this extraordinary style of yoga to his students in Tucson. His classes are mostly light hearted and fun, yet challenging.

He feels blessed to come from a large loving Italian family, who has supported his sometimes off the chart decisions in this life. "For ten years, I lived with a black wolf named Codi, who taught me awareness on a grand scale, and who continues to inspire me beyond words." Joseph is dedicated to teaching yoga and maintains a private massage practice in Tucson. He feels committed to helping people reconnect to spirit, to the earth and to one another. He is learning tango, and often retreats to the mountains for a climb or a hike. He sometimes even sneaks away to Costa Rica for a surf!
