Joani Foster joins the Bucketfillers For Life team as Co-Director of the Illinois Region. She has worn many hats in her life.
As a weekly columnist for the Sun-Times Suburban News, Joani touched the lives of thousands of people by putting a smile on their faces and sometimes a tear or two in their eyes with her award winning stories. As a public speaker, she lectures on “Being Ageless.” Her purpose is not to advise people that they can avoid the inescapable passage of time, but to find a way to achieve agelessness in body, mind, and spirit as a triune process. Joani also teaches Yoga to both young and old. Her original classes for children and the styles she created have won her accolades within the Yoga community. Joani is also certified in working as a Yoga instructor for children with special needs, and in working with hospice, she creatively adapts all these skills for those battling cancer.
