Joa Fitness is a holistic health and wellness centre in Toronto, founded by Joa Rivas. Joa, who was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, was diagnosed with scoliosis and chronic back pain at the age of 15. Frustrated with the lack of sustainable solutions, Joa delved into the power of movement through Yoga and Pilates, ultimately finding relief from her pain and transforming her own body.

With a background in health education, certified Nutrition and Wellness Coaching, Yoga, and Pilates teaching, Joa has been coaching clients worldwide, both online and in-person, since 2010. Her passion for posture and wellness has led her to teach her techniques to over 30,000 students and coach and transform over 1,000 people.
