Johanna Mikkonen
North Ostrobothnia, Oulu
I am primarily seeking to use this platform to promote ‘Body-based Education’ workshops and the related teaching and educational work.
I am a dance teacher (YAMK), a yoga teacher – a body-centred educator.
The positive effects of dance and movement on promoting wellbeing and interaction are key objectives in my work, alongside increasing body awareness and physical literacy.
In addition to body-based education – teaching and workshops – I work in specialist dance instruction with people of all ages, from babies to older adults, as well as with special needs groups. I also lead various workplace wellbeing groups and work as a producer.
