Joy Nirenstein feels so blessed to be a yogini in this lifetime. The practice of Asana, Bhakti yoga, and Karma Yoga have shown her that there is no end to the possible ways one can search for truth with all her guts and soul, trusting whatever form it is that opens her heart.
Joy received wondrous teachings from her mentors Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi at Laughing Lotus and is currently pursuing advanced studies with the ever-brilliant Leslie Kaminoff at the Breathing Project. Joy loves sharing yoga with a wide variety of people, including teaching yoga/anti-violence/mindfulness practices to kids in NYC public schools and yoga therapy to the elderly population. She loves using the practice as a catalyst to discover connections between the natural world, the world of physics, and the worlds of poetry/music.
Joy would like to to offer her classes as a space for prayer with an asana practice that explores the edges between wildness and stillness, strength and softness, discipline and rule-breaking. |
