Your home for yoga & wellness
At its heart, Crescent Moon Yoga & Wellness is about creating space for stillness, for movement, for healing, and for connection.
It’s a place where people come to breathe deeper, move with purpose, and be part of something meaningful.
Rooted in the belief that wellness is not one-size-fits-all, the studio blends yoga, energy work, and community to support each individual’s personal journey.
Whether you're seeking strength, peace, or simply a moment to yourself, Crescent Moon offers a nurturing environment to return to, again and again.
The vision for Crescent Moon Yoga & Wellness was brought to life by founder Joanne Bernier, whose own journey through healing, recovery, and transformation is at the core of everything this space offers. A longtime Ramsey resident, Joanne raised her family on East Crescent Avenue—where the studio gets its name—and has spent nearly three decades deeply rooted in this community.
After years of using high-intensity exercise to cope with anxiety and depression, Joanne discovered yoga during her recovery journey. Twelve years sober and thriving, she credits yoga as one of the most powerful tools in her healing. What started as a way to quiet her mind became a life-changing passion. Joanne completed her 200hr and 300hr teacher training at Flow Yoga in HoHoKus, where she learned to teach from the heart—with intention, awareness, and compassion.
Meet the heart behind the studio
Today, Joanne is not only a yoga teacher but also a certified Sound Healer, Integrated Energy Healer, and Level Two Reiki Practitioner. She brings this deep well of knowledge and experience into every class—infusing the studio with Reiki energy and creating a space for students to feel supported, empowered, and connected.
Her goal is simple:
To share the magic of yoga and healing with others and to offer a space where people can just be. Whether on the mat or in stillness, Crescent Moon Yoga and Wellness is a reflection of Joanne’s journey, and an invitation for others to begin their own.
