She is known for her compassion-based, nurturing teaching style and intention based Reiki healing. Joy weaves mantras and meditations into her yoga classes, while exposing her students to ancient teachings that can be applied to the world we live in today. Joy offers yoga classes to established yogis as well as beginner workshops for students new to yoga. She will meet you where you are in your practice and you will leave her class feeling refreshed, peaceful and balanced!

“I consider myself to be a life-long learner; learning and teaching are two of my favorite things!  My commitment to yoga and its life-changing philosophy is somewhat new to me! I remember that intimidating feeling of walking into a yoga class not knowing if I belonged there. I love to teach people in a safe, non judgemental environment. I will give you the knowledge, physical breakdown of postures and confidence you need to be the yogi you want to be on and off the mat!”

Joy is also a former middle school teacher who enjoys those challenging teen years. She is hoping to develop her practice with teens as well as adults. In her free time you can likely find Joy at the beach with her husband, three sons (ages 16, 14 and 11) along with her canine daughter, Maya!
