As the holiday season builds, many of us carry a heavier emotional load. This class is meant to offer a quiet reset before the week begins, a moment to breathe deeply, release tension, and refill your cup during a time of year that asks so much of those who care for others.
Class Description
A one-hour practice using breath, embodiment, and clear imagery to reorganize stress and quiet anxious loops. Together we will learn to inhabit the body as a place of clarity. Expect folds, twists, and steady breath work to help the body hold its shape so the mind can soften.

She has taught at Inner Space Yoga, Sweatheory KC, Eastbrook Studios, Maya Yoga, and with Uncornered KC, supporting formerly incarcerated individuals through somatic practices. Joy brings both practical experience and visionary intention to her offerings, imagining a sanctuary where healing and spirituality coexist and where community is the foundation.
