Meet The Joyful Team

Joy has a passion for flowing deeper into the postures, closing her eyes and allowing the breath to take her to that inner place of bliss, her personal nirvana. 

She teaches her classes with that same ease and sense of inner peace. She brings her clients deeper into their awareness of body, mind and spirit. Her classes are challenging but allowing for an inner calm surface leaving clients in a peaceful state of being. 

Aly practices and lives what she teaches, yoga is a part of everything she does.  Her hope is that in teaching others the practice of yoga they may find a healthier, energized, enlivened, focused, empathetic, holistic, empowered, and spiritual version of themselves; a better understanding of their true selves.   This is the real value of yoga, recognizing that we can shape our bodies and minds, that everything we need is within, we don’t have to look for it outside.  

Stef is particularly interested in helping others release both physical and mental tension and in helping students find authenticity within their yoga practice. When not in the studio, you can find her hanging out with her two cats and her husband, or out snapping photos and exploring nature.

Cathy feels yoga is for everyBODY and a wonderful physical, mental and spiritual modality important for our health tool box. She enjoys helping people feel better in their bodies. 

She teaches Yoga Tune Up® (a yoga format that consists of improving range of motion, eliminating pain, relax muscles and unwind tension through self massaging techniques using YTU balls. In addition to using the YTU balls, stretching an strengthening. She teaches Chair Yoga, Yoga Tune Up® Workshops and Yin

Yoga and fitness have become much more meaningful than she thought possible after completing her training. Sarah has used her experiences as a launching point for continuing to learn about anatomy and the power of the mind.

The classes she teaches are focused on mobility, range of motion, and strengthening the mind-body connection. She is excited to share with yogis of all experience levels in a journey of continued learning. 

Like you, I am a yoga student, but I also am a Yoga teacher, a fitness and wellness enthusiast for over 30 years! While I hold certifications in several different fitness formats, which I have loved and embraced throughout the different stages of my life. I now have found a love in yoga that is not just about a “workout”. But rather as a vessel to transform our entire lives. My vision is to support you, in ways to nourish your body, mind and soul, through the yoga experience. 

A bit about me outside of yoga. I’m a wife, mother of two, I work full time, and I’m a Dog Mom. I love to be outside whenever possible, whether I’m out for a walk, sitting and relaxing, at the beach or on the mountain. I love all kinds of music, I enjoy reading, and meditating. 

Sharon came to yoga seeking physical exercise and stress relief. Over 15 years later, she credits it with tremendous healing and growth and is so happy to be able to share that with other people. Sharon practices and teaches many styles, from yin and restorative to vinyasa, with a focus on alignment and making each pose the right one for each body. She is devoted to making yoga—the physical, mental, and spiritual practices—accessible to all.

She completed her 200-hour Yoga Alliance certified training at Windsoul Wellness Center in 2019, and is a Reiki Master Teacher, offering healing sessions through energy work, psychic readings, and mediumship, as well as a certified sound healer, an herbalist, an editor of esoteric books, and a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in mental health counseling.  

 Her passion is for everybody, regardless of age, to be introduced to the benefits of yoga, being mindful of the challenges of aging and the effects it may have on the body. It is in the doing that we learn; any movement in a positive direction is progress, no matter how small or how long it takes. Susan is a retired nurse.
