Joy

Founder

Joy has been serving humanity with her heart and soul throughout her life. Even as a young girl, she was marked by a rare quality of presence - woven with magic, wonder, and a deep love for the unseen. Yoga and meditation found her early, and she has devoted her life to sharing these ancient practices as a path of transformation and awakening with others, through classes, workshops, trainings and retreats.


A teacher of teachers, Joy has certified hundreds of students, cultivating a powerful lineage rooted in wisdom and soul. Many of her students now have studios of their own, weaving the web with their own love and devotion to support the world through the practice.


Her offerings are eclectic, alchemical, and inspiring. Holding a Master's degree in Metaphysics, Joy delves beneath the surface in each moment she has the privilege to share the magic. Her presence is a living invitation to step into your power, your softness, and your sacred truth.



A Sadaka is a practitioner or seeker dedicated to the spiritual journey, this is Joy.
