I'm Joy
Yoga Medicine ® Therapeutic Specialist, Master Meditation Teacher & Licensed Massage Therapist, Living with Bilateral Knee Replacements
I’m known for my precision, therapeutic approach, and signature “why before how” philosophy—guiding students to understand the science and purpose behind every movement and breath. People often say my classes feel like a conversation with their body, because learning why a movement matters makes it easier to connect with, trust, and make it your own.
Based in Carbondale, PA, I work entirely online - specializing in yoga therapeutics and meditation for women 50+ who want a safer, more personalized alternative to studio yoga and public classes. Whether you're down the street or across the country, I design, coach and teach practices that address reduced flexibility, joint replacements, and exhaustion. The goal is to create resilience, comfort, and adaptability in everyday life through intentional, targeted, routine therapeutic movement you can practice along to at home.
With 25 years of personal yoga studentship—including 8 years of yoga teaching—I bring a seasoned perspective to this work. My background includes over 30 years of experience in education, athletics, and business, along with more than 1,600 hours of science-informed training in yoga, meditation, and massage therapy through the lens of anatomy, physiology, neurobiology, therapeutics, research, and human cadaver stud. But what qualifies me most to guide you in developing yoga confidence isn’t just my professional expertise—it’s that I’m living your journey, too.
