Bio

Meet Joyce

After 39 years as a dental hygienist, I discovered yoga in the most unexpected way: at a yoga and beer class in a local brewery in 2018. And yes, I mostly went for the beer. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a calling. By 2021, I completed my first yoga teacher training, and in 2024 I earned my 500-hour certification.

Today, I’m grateful to share my love of yoga at Yoga Parkside, while creating workshops and leading the Root to Rise Yoga Teacher Mentorship. My greatest passion is helping yoga teachers build confidence, find their authentic voice, and grow as teachers.

Root to Rise Yoga Teacher Mentorship

Begins September 20 · Only 3 spots left

I may offer Root to Rise again in the spring, but this founding-cohort price will never be offered again. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is your chance.

When I started teaching, I was riddled with imposter syndrome. I just wanted someone experienced to watch my class and say, You belong here.

So I found a mentor, and it changed everything.

I’m opening limited spots for Yoga Teacher Mentoring, covering safe sequencing, confidence, ethical alignment, and finding your authentic voice.

Because teaching yoga isn’t just about poses. It’s about holding space, and that takes support too.

Registration is now open! Grow your confidence, find your authentic voice, and teach with greater clarity, presence, and purpose.
