Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Therapist

I am a yoga teacher based in Valencia 🇪🇸. I help you integrate Ayurveda into your daily life in a simple way. I organize retreats all over the world.

Biography

My name is Joy, a name that has given me wings for 31 years.

I grew up in Côte d’Ivoire, Lebanon, France, and Mauritius, and continued exploring the world on my own, living in Thailand and Mexico. Now, I’ve settled down in Valencia, Spain. I am deeply in love with life and the connections it brings.

When I began practicing postural yoga, my sankalpa was to develop a healthier image and awareness of my body, which has helped me tremendously. Now, yoga benefits me in even more ways, calming my mind and easing my anxiety.

I offer a slow-paced yoga practice that weaves together inner strength, alignment, and deep breathing. My classes are challenging, energizing, and engaging.

I provide adjustments tailored to your practice and body, helping you understand the poses better and deepen your body awareness.

Since 2021, I’ve been integrating Ayurveda into my life and my teaching, offering a more holistic approach to health, both on and off the mat.

Welcome.

What people are saying

Having recently moved to Valencia from NY, I was looking for a local place to book a massage and was so lucky to come across Joy. I was experiencing a lot of soreness and discomfort from the gym, and she tailored the massage accordingly. It was the perfect blend of relaxing and therapeutic. She was attentive, professional, and has such a calming presence. Looking forward to including these massages as part of my holistic wellness regimen. Thank you Joy!

Joy is THE teacher. I started practicing yoga seriously with her just over six months ago. She is a great educator—gentle, smart, and has an approach to yoga that allows for progress while enjoying the practice to the fullest. Thank you, Joy, and well done! 💕

Joy has given me a passion for practicing yoga! With her gentle voice, she leads her classes for both beginners and advanced students. Her knowledge and desire for progression are evident in the evolution of her practice. She regularly organizes yoga retreats in beautiful locations. I highly recommend her!

I love Joy's classes; she pays attention to the adjustments of each pose, and they are super inspiring and challenging. She is very attentive and always focuses on the details. Highly recommended!

I recommend her 100 times!!! 🔥 Joy is helping me in my weight loss journey and balancing my Doshas, as one has clearly taken over the others. This way, I can regain my birth constitution and return to an energy that I enjoy, but you can consult Joy for a whole range of other issues!

Joy converted me to yoga almost two years ago now. I’ve had the chance to attend her classes and one of her yoga retreats in Essaouira, Morocco (which was incredible, by the way), and I can’t recommend her enough. Joy is kind, attentive, and guides all her students while explaining the many benefits of yoga—you never see the time go by!

I had been wanting to get back into yoga with a teacher for a while, and I’m very grateful to have met Joy. Each session is different and complete; she explains everything very well, corrects our poses, and always gives us a quality moment of disconnection.

I had various different massages from Joy and they were all amazing! Joy is a very kind and welcoming woman and she is really good at her job. Everytime I walked away here I was feeling super relaxed and energized from the massage. The yoga studio is also really beautiful at a grea location, Joy really knows what she’s doing and helps you with your poses if needed so you get the best out of your yoga session. Would absolutely recommend!!
