Joyanna, also known as Joy, is a 200-hour registered yoga teacher through the YTT Collective and a certified Reiki Master through Joiful Yoga. With a background in anatomy and physiology, she emphasizes that every body is different—what works for one person might feel completely different for another, and that’s perfectly normal. Joy takes a slower, intentional approach to teaching, focusing on safe transitions, alignment, and modifications that allow students to move in a way that feels right for them.
Before discovering yoga, Joy struggled with flexibility and even experienced pain reaching for her feet. Encouraged by a friend, she reluctantly tried a class—and was immediately hooked. Through patience, practice, and the support of her teachers and fellow students, she learned to embrace small progress as a big deal. That journey inspired her to become a yoga instructor, helping others build confidence, trust, and a deeper connection to themselves.
Joy’s teaching style is warm, welcoming, and approachable. She believes yoga is about growth, exploration, and making space for whatever the moment brings—no pressure, just presence.
