Joy Of Yoga

Rebecca is an amazing instructor here, I cannot rave about her enough! I’m not amazing at yoga but I’m really picky on what I look for in a class and Rebecca’s classes are better than my expectations. Her sequences are challenging but achievable and her transitions are seamless. She teaches Energizing Vinyasa flow on Weds and Thurs and I will probably be buying a membership just so that I can keep taking her classes.

I really enjoyed Joy’s Ayurvedic detox workshop. The information provided was very helpful and the printed materials beautifully done and useful. I loved how each week built upon the one before. I was able to implement the parts that felt right and doable for my life without feeling like I was depriving or overwhelming myself. The support of the community in this class was an amazing benefit. I look forward to keeping many of the things I learned in place, as well as continuing to make the recipes shared. Completely worth the investment and energy spent on bettering myself!

Joy of yoga is a true gift to your body, your mind and your spirit. The yoga classes always leave me feeling refreshed with my body nourished, and with many helpful thoughts to carry with me into the world. I have also taken her Ayurvedic classes, most recently completing a fall four week detox class. Joy is a wealth of Ayurvedic knowledge and she encourages the group in such a loving non-judgemental way, meeting people where they are. After this detox my body feels lighter and less inflamed, and I have incorporated many small habits that should be easy to carry with me always.

The studio is clean and smells good. Nice hardwood floors and low lights hanging from the ceiling. The vibe is calming. The equipment is good quality, clean and well organized.
The introduction to somatic breathwork class was wonderful. I felt relief and relaxed afterwards. The instructor greeted us immediately. She was polite and welcoming.

Joy, it was fabulous. Truly, I've been doing yoga for 36+ years, and this was a great class. Very well organized. Real yoga, not calisthenics. Spirit led. Instructor was very gentle.

I attended an acupuncture + sound bath experience last night and it was exactly what I needed. It helped clear my head and heart and I felt totally supported the whole time. The community was welcoming and kind to this newbie- exactly the experience I was craving.

Joy’s studio is beautiful! The class with Abby was so incredible to be able to experience. Thank you for offering community classes in such a peaceful, beautiful environment.

I’m new to this studio and have felt very welcome. Joy of Yoga offers a variety of classes that have helped me on my journey to self discovery and healing. Previously I was only taking hot yoga classes and classes for exercise but the classes offered here are helping me practice mindfulness as I learn to listen to my body. The restorative type classes have helped me manage my stress levels as a busy working mother.

I was drawn to this studio because of the very reasonable new student special- 29$ for 2 weeks of any classes you want to try. I was slightly nervous as this is a new studio for me but everyone there was so kind, supportive, and welcoming. I took a Yoga Nidra class and it was so wonderfully relaxing. Alicia was the teacher and was so welcoming and made sure that everyone was comfortable in their practice offering a plethora of supports, modifications and reassurance to practice in a way that feels right for the individual. The website is very easy to access and the owner is so responsive to feedback and questions about the studio or classes. I cannot emphasis enough this was the best experience I could have EVER hoped for.

Della Thompson was an amazing instructor! I couldn't believe it was only her first class. Can't wait to see all the things she'll do!

The owner Joy is absolutely lovely and so wise, I always learn something new from her in her classes, and also in our brief conversations. I have also enjoyed a Cocoa ceremony, a sage workshop, and breathwork workshop with Ashley Moret that was FANTASTIC. Joy has a great variety of classes and events, always something interesting going on!

This yoga studio has a excellent variety of classes to choose from, welcoming to all levels of yoga practitioners from beginners to more advanced. The community of people you will meet here will make it feel like home.

Love ❤ Joy of Yoga and all the teachers! Very warm and welcoming place with great atmosphere. You can tell that Joy (owner) puts a lot of effort into every aspect of the practice/sessions and the studio overall. I had not felt comfortable going to yoga studios in the past and was hesitant, but she put me at ease and I never felt intimidated again!

I have recently relocated back to St. Louis and am very grateful for the referral to Joy of Yoga. All of the workshops and classes I have taken are wonderful! Joy personally reached out to me after my first class and took the time to speak with me. She is kind, warm, and a wonderful teacher! The studio is very welcoming and has a wide variety of classes and workshops.

Practicing yoga with Joy has brought me to a better place. Her classes help you to listen to your body, and be more aware of the thoughts that aren’t serving you. Her voice is calming, kind and knowledgeable. I have been practicing Yoga with Joy for 6 years now. The studio is lovely and conveniently located. The livestreams are great if you can’t make it to the studio. I love this studio! Highly recommend it to everyone!!

Love this studio. The variety of classes they offer is unlike any other studio around, so unique and special and planned with intention. It's a peaceful place with wonderful instructors and I'm blessed to have found it. I love going to Joy of Yoga!

Joy and her teachers are the best! I’ve been practicing at Joy of Yoga for several years, 1-2x per week. I love the variety of classes offered and the expertise and knowledge of the staff. It’s where I go to achieve balance in my life and Zen. I always walk away super relaxed and at peace. I go to other studios for harder, more intense work outs, but Joy is my go-to for a relaxing practice. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Joy for all you do for your students!

Joy of Yoga is hands down one of my favorite yoga studios in St. Louis. Joy and her students provide such a warm and welcoming presence in all of their classes. I guarantee you can find a class that suits to what you're looking for. The variety of classes and teachers is one of my favorite things about this studio. Not only do they offer yoga classes, but they also offer private reiki sessions, workshops and teacher trainings! I couldn't recommend this studio enough.

I found Joy Of Yoga online in 2020 and have been taking classes with the studio since. I've tried and practiced some with most if not all the instructors and loved all the classes. Customer support is excellent & the site is very user friendly. There are recordings for classes & there is also an on-line portal. Really positive and friendly vibe from the instructors.

I used to love going to classes in their beautiful studio, but now I've been receiving the streamed videos. While I miss the camaraderie of yoga in person, I do love the convenience of being able to watch these videos (of a very high quality) for 3 days afterwards. In-person, my favorite teacher was Alicia: I used to walk in the room and practically melt at her feet, because her presence is just that divinely calming! Now that I'm a bit less frantic than in the past due to working more at home, I love Joy's mindful movement classes. Joy has a great video presence and helps me bring so much awareness to my "monkey mind" and my need to always "move on, move faster," etc. I've taught yoga in the past, and I have practiced for 30 years, so I appreciate that they have yoga for all ages and abilities. And all of the teachers seem to take their yoga off the page and bring in yoga philosophy to every aspect of their classes. They are wonderfully wise and HUMAN, and I love witnessing them blossom on their path while I trot along behind on my own quiet journey. These wonderful teachers show us how yoga is a "practice" - and that is precisely the "perfection" (and the joy) of Joy of Yoga.
