At 63 years young, she took her Registered Yoga Teacher Training (RYT-200) at the Jesse Barlow School of Yoga in Sri Lanka and continues to learn about both the practice and business of yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This vivacious entrepreneur loves John Fluevog shoes, alternative medicine, gardening, and cooking. After meeting Joanne Heaney at her former yoga studio, she leaped at the chance to open Yoga Seven in 2014 as co-owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-meet-joanne-heaney-co-owner-of-yoga-seven\">Meet Joanne Heaney, Co-Owner of Yoga Seven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joanne Heaney found yoga after a trifecta of losses in her life\u2014her father&#8217;s death, her mother\u2019s cancer diagnosis, and job loss hit her \u201clike a Mack truck\u201d all at the same time. She started taking yoga classes at a studio that she had passed by several times before, but was too intimidated to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These classes, and her new community of friendships, literally brought her \u201cback to life.\u201d One of her new friendships was with Ginty Burns, another student whom she would see at yoga classes as they both \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-the-yoga-mats-clean-in-your-yoga-studio-or-fitness-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rolled out their mats<\/a>,\u201d and an unspoken bond was formed. With the encouragement of her teachers, she completed her RYT-200 certification in 2013, and applied her degrees in Kinesiology and her MBA from Kellogg-Schulich to her new endeavor as a founder of Yoga Seven, which she co-partnered with Ginty Burns in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canadians-supporting-canadians\">Canadians Supporting Canadians <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the pandemic first hit in March of 2020, Yoga Seven was forced into lockdown, and Ginty and Joanne decided to go completely virtual by offering Zoom classes. They were with a different software provider at the time and were concerned about their mounting technology costs due to having to pay extra for their Zoom integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Joanne heard about a cost-effective all-in-one fitness business software solution called WellnessLiving, she was intrigued. When she found out it was a <em>Canadian company<\/em>, she was SOLD! \u201cWe\u2019re proud Canadians, and we love to support Canadian companies,\u201d says Joanne with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-all-in-one-virtual-services-software-solution\">All-in-one virtual services software solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWellnessLiving had everything we needed, including livestreaming services already integrated in the software,\u201d says Ginty, who switched providers six months into the pandemic and has never looked back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose savings were very important to us,\u201d she adds. \u201cWhat was also great was that we could host our online library [with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessliving.com\/blog\/benefits-fitvid-on-demand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WellnessLiving\u2019s FitVID on Demand<\/a>], which was an added bonus that we didn\u2019t have to get another software to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-did-your-community-and-staff-adjust-to-transitioning-online\">How did your community and staff adjust to transitioning online?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe [Zoom] integration (now FitLIVE) was seamless,\u201d says Joanne. \u201cOur teachers found the interface so easy to use.

They needed that break to disconnect. They needed that human connection, to move their body, and have that sense of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it gave a whole new dimension to the unique personalities of their virtual instructors who are spread out across Canada. \u201cWe got to meet their pets and see parts of their homes and spaces. One of our teachers likes to sing during <em>Shavasana<\/em>,\u201d says Ginty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yoga-seven-x-wellnessliving-s-highlight-reel\">Yoga Seven X WellnessLiving\u2019s Highlight Reel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following standout features and services have helped Yoga Seven and their clients stay connected and healthy during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-data-migration-quick-setup-24-7-customer-support\">Data Migration, Quick Setup, 24\/7 Customer Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerned about changing software providers?
