Joy has always been into sports, fitness and health. She grew up playing every sport under the sun and got into bodybuilding in 1995. Joy was able to change a lot of things in her life physically, mentally and emotionally through having a stable fitness practice, but she still struggled with her self-image, which was limiting her in many areas of her life.
She attended NIU, graduating with a degree in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. She started personal training and got into management in the nutrition, health and supplement industry.
Joy found yoga after a back injury back in 2001. But it wasn’t until she started a consistent practice that she really understood the benefits that yoga could offer. “Physically yoga has helped to heal my body, but there are not words to describe how much yoga has helped me to heal the relationship I have with myself. I think yoga helps to soften the view we have of ourselves and in turn helps to soften the view that we have of the world. Yoga has become such a strong positive force in my life and I feel it is my duty to share it with others.”
