Joaquin’s practice began in 2006 when he moved to DC and fell in love with the intention and structure of yoga. After attending yoga classes for almost a decade with many different teachers, he wanted to take his practice to the next level. He asked his mom to split the cost of teacher training with him as a combined Christmas and Birthday gift and ended up pursuing his 200-hour teacher training certification with CorePower in 2018. He is now a Yoga Alliance RYT500 instructor.

He has always found he learns best by figuring out how things work and getting comfortable enough to teach others, and the same has been true with yoga. Peeking behind the curtain to see how delivering a class works has given him a deeper understanding of sequence design and helped him go further in his own practice.

Joaquin’s goal is to help others find their passion in yoga and movement, and his classes will lead you to explore your body through dynamic movement and breath. He likes to keep things fun and accessible to all levels and body types. You will leave feeling accomplished for having spent time on your mat.

His Yoga Sculpt classes at MINT are unique because they use weights to build strength and control, helping you further your practice on and off the mat. He likes to sequence a creative flow that incorporates different lineages and physical exercises to keep things interesting. 

Outside of MINT, he enjoys running through Dupont and Foggy Bottom to the National Mall. When asked what his favorite meal in DC is, he says “I like to nurture body, mind, AND soul so you can’t beat a burger at Annie’s.” He also loves to bake and you may find him bringing extra cookies and treats to his classes to share with his students. You can follow him on Instagram @joaquin.obieta.

 You can sign up for Joaquin’s Yoga Sculpt class Thursdays at 6pm here.

Since April 2020 we have provided leniency within several class policies considering the circumstances. As we ramp back up classes and participation continues to rise, we are reinstating the following, starting in February 2022:

• Class registration is 100% required. We DO accommodate walk-ins when space is available.
• Class late cancellation fee is $5, with an 8-hour window for classes designated as [SELECT], and a 2-hour window for all other classes.
• A class “no show” fee is $13, which includes late arrivals and cancellations made <10 minutes prior to class start time.
• Late arrivals may not be granted access to class.

These standards maximize everyone’s opportunity to participate in class and are always available here on our website. (‘For members’, ‘Policies’, Appointment Policies’)

Maddie’s classes are sassy, classy and a little bad-assy. She brings her incredibly high energy to every session to make working out the most enjoyable experience it can be. You will walk away with an extra boost of confidence and a smile on your face.

Her class will kick your booty in a safe way that works for your skill level and pushes you to unlock a stronger version of yourself. She believes time is our only nonrenewable resource and if you trust her with yours, she will make it worth your while.

Maddie was a competitive dancer for 15 years and was eager to find a new way to keep moving her body when she entered college. She started taking Barre and Dance fitness classes at the university sports facility which she loved. Eventually, she also found her inner power lifting heavy things in a strength-based class. She went through instructor training her sophomore fall and has been instructing ever since!

She has always considered movement to be her medicine, and fitness taught her how to express herself, grow her work ethic and build confidence. Group exercise in particular led her to both personal growth and a built-in support system. As an instructor, her goal is to create a community where participants can see their individual rewards and also have fun and make new friends.

Since moving to DC a few months ago, Maddie has started to embrace outdoor running in Rock Creek Park. Her favorite place to go for a healthy meal is the CAVA down the street from her apartment. She says, “After spending a few summers in the Middle East, CAVA allows me to reminisce on my travels while enjoying a filling, lighter meal. (Honestly, they should hire me after that line–I may have missed my calling in advertising.)”
