Personally, he’s drawn to books, authors, and leaders that help him grow. While he has an eclectic taste in subjects, it all has to do with balance.

Meet Joana Menses

I'm JO. BodyRoots Founder, LiquidRoots Retreats Leader, 20 year New Yorker/Azorean, and self-proclaimed Karaoke Queen.

I love being the first Azorean most people meet and like the off-the-beaten-path paradise I was fortunate to be born in, I help people move "outside the box". As a 20-year full-time Fitness Pro, I strive to combine movement in ways that compliment all of my certifications to make you forget you're working. You have enough jobs. To me, movement is poetry and every BODY should have the honor of writing its own.

Always grateful, but endlessly hungry for growth and new challenges, I invest in my craft by searching out and training with the best coaches, with the goal of passing along all that I've learned. I feel privileged to combine the best of my island roots with my North American and European worlds while realizing my ancestors' hard worked for dreams. I am all about balancing our Power with our Pause and welcome the opportunity to help others find their own life's movement poetry.
