Joanna Palamidou completed her studies in London, obtaining a BSc (Hons.) in Biomedical Sciences from Queen Mary University of London, an MSc (Hons.) in Clinical Neuroscience from University College London (UCL), and a postgraduate degree in Creative Practice in collaboration with Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Since 2018, she has been systematically studying embodied techniques (somatics) and contact improvisation. Since 2021, she has been certified as a Franklin educator for back peritoneums and teaches this method in her classes. Additionally, she teaches prenatal yoga to pregnant women during and after their pregnancy, covering the field of prenatal yoga (Anahata yoga academy & Human mama trainer)

Having dedicated many hours to dance studios herself, the Pilates classes she teaches (Basi Trainer) contain many elements inspired by classical and contemporary dance. She is particularly interested in how the brain controls and contributes to movement, exploring how movement can affect areas of the brain and potentially function preventively or therapeutically in neuromuscular diseases.
