Joy originally trained as a nurse and then later on became a health and fitness instructor/personal trainer. She spent over 20 years in the fitness industry mainly working with weight management, nutrition and holistic health.

Due to events that unfolded in her personal life she later trained with the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary as a Minster and spiritual counsellor.

Yoga was transformational in her own personal journey for depression, anxiety and addiction. She trained with the British Wheel of Yoga in 2001 and then with the Traditional Yoga Association; completing her training in 2015.

She has since taught Yoga in Prisons, treatment centres and hospitals, one-to-one and open general classes. She has also a great passion for Yoga for the over 50’s and for those who live with Parkinson’s Disease.

Joy is a warm and down to earth teacher with a great wealth of knowledge, experience and humour.

“The emphasis in my classes is very much about awareness and connection.

With the intention of being in the heart centre, inclusive and a good example of Yoga teachings and philosophies.”

“For me Yoga has made a profound difference to every aspect of my life. Physically it has made my body stronger, more flexible and less prone to illness. Emotionally I feel more centred, grounded and have an increased ability to deal with stress. Mentally I am more focused and calm. Spiritually it is my way of feeling connected, guided and blessed.”
