Welcome back! If you tuned in last time, you already know that Johanna Ricouz–aka Jungle Johanna on IG–is the queen of no-nonsense. And guess what? We’re not done yet. 

Johanna is a Miami based trainer, Power Yoga teacher, and certified pilates instructor dedicated to diversifying the wellness space and making sure everyone feels welcomed to train. In Part 1, we got into her journey, her approach, and why she taketh no shit (seriously none).

In the episode, we go even deeper into what it means to show up authentically, do the work, and build true inner-self. Johanna is someone who walks the walk, and she’s here to drop more gems that will challenge and inspire you. 

Lets plug in with the Pilates plug herself–Johanna Ricouz. Tune in!

BTW. Are you looking for deeper connection? You know what I say. “Come sit with us.” But for real. Join my EXCLUSIVE online women’s community for Becoming: HER today.

Xoxo,
