“Joy is a born teacher. She comes to each class with a thoughtful lesson, and guides her students through an engaging and heartening period of meditation and reflection. She brings in carefully chosen words (a poem, a passage) for us to explore as we sit, and I always find myself asking her to share the reference after class. She has a soothing voice and a naturally calming demeanor that have a direct effect on my nervous (and boy, is it nervous) system. I am grateful to have met her and even more grateful that she decided to pursue the path of teaching meditation.

For more than a decade, I have been a student of Joy’s in the areas of mindfulness, meditation and breathing. As the executive of a large non-profit organization, this experience has given me multiple benefits: greater calm, clarity and focus and increased empathy and sensitivity to our clients and employees. On a personal level, Joy’s teaching has reduced my stress levels, and opened my spirit to greater compassion and acts of kindness. I am deeply grateful to Joy for how her style of teaching has helped me evolve into a better version of myself.

“I originally came to Joy’s class as a yoga teacher and practitioner looking to cultivate a stronger meditation practice. That was four years ago, and her class is still an anchor in my week. Her wise teachings have shifted my way of thinking, both on and off the mat. I now have a deeper understanding of what it means to be present in this crazy world, and I am better able to navigate my way through it with an open and compassionate heart. I am so grateful to Joy for sharing her wisdom.
