Student reviews
Joy offers a safe space in which to dive into yoga and, not only explore one’s own relationship to it, but also the world’s relationship to and need for yoga. I thoroughly enjoyed time with my cohort while learning about history, philosophy, spirituality, healing, self-study, the list goes on. Yoga has so many amazing avenues and Joy lights the way for them all.
Holistic Joy Yoga School started me on this journey in 2017 and has been there with me, for me through it all. Graduation from each training brought not just another degree of yogic knowledge but a greater degree with which to connect to my higher purpose .
