About Joy: Joy finds peace and inspiration with every teaching opportunity. She thrives on guiding students to build their own personal strength with the emphasis on breath, individualized modifications, alignment and concentration. Her teaching style is based on the Ashtanga method (Breath, Bandha, Drishti), while weaving the practice of the Eight Limbs of Yoga. She is heavily influenced by numerous teachers she feels grateful to have worked with so far: Virginia Allain, Kimberly Short, Mary Kay West, Steve Dwelley, Michele Nichols, Maty Ezraty, Laruga Glaser, Dena Kingsberg, Kino MacGregor and Tim Miller. Attending over 600 hours of trainings and workshops since 2015, Joy’s mission is to continue the exploration of yoga, seeking the most genuine and authentic approach, to share with every student she works with. She believes the learning of the self continues on and off the mat so as long as we are breathing. Joy dedicates her yogic studies as a contribution to world peace; finding peace within herself; sharing ways for her students to find peace; and spreading their peace to the world.
