Joani Nunez, Fountainview director is one of Houston's most loved and respected alternative healers and intuitives. She has been in private practice in Houston since 1983, and brings a vast body of knowledge to her teaching. She began studying yoga and meditation in 1971 while still in high school, has been a student of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda for many years, and grew up near the Siddha Yoga ashram in the Catskill Mountains of NY. Joani discovered Bikram Yoga in 1999 and soon experienced miraculous results healing long standing and debilitating back, neck and shoulder injuries. Her personal experiences with the powerful healing effects of Bikram's Therapeutic Hatha Yoga are what led her to take the Teacher Certification Training. She is both delighted and grateful to be able to offer to others the same healing that she herself received practicing Bikram's Therapeutic Hot Yoga.
