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. 

Her passion for guiding others helps her students own their power and find their way back to self-love and acceptance. Focusing her continued studies on trauma-informed yoga and healing meditations, she hopes to make yoga an accessible and life-changing experience in her local community.

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.

 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. 

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. 

 Following her transition to motherhood, and years of caring for others at work without always taking good care of herself, yoga helped Kyle to rebuild her relationship with her body and with her self. It was then that she hatched an idea to pay these gifts forward, and share yoga with others through teaching. 

Jenn is passionate about sharing the mind-body connection to all bodies and ages. Her goal is that when you attend her class you feel included, connected with the breath and practice safely. In the hopes that whatever arises during practice you can apply or explore further in your day-to-day life.
