But when life throws you lemons, or in my case a broken bone on a work trip, you make lemonade. I was reluctant walking into a studio on doctor’s order, but the first time I teared up in savasana, found strength in my teacher’s words, + eventually, my own practice, I couldn’t stop. Did my physical strength grow? Sure. But the spiritual, the mental, that’s where I found home. We must look inward to move forward with intention; it’s something I have talked about with my middle school students for years, but truly coming to terms with it on your own is life changing. This is where my yoga practice began. This is where it grows. Let’s move, let’s breathe, let’s talk and find joy together. Can’t wait to practice with you.

Rianna completed her 200-hour training with ‘Breathe for Change’ + her 100-hour mentorship with be(YOU)nd YTT in 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e993b6d1292bc24d5866bc1/1611508919102-LAZL7PJCM62H4Z6LEJ8R/Jess1.jpg why joy?! - Jess Goudreault when I was 3, my mom put me in a dance class—a first test of what she expected would be a handful of athletic activities to try out before seeing what stuck. but i took one look at those mirrors + tutus + all the kids hopping around to music, + i was hooked. i continued dancing throughout high school, then majored in Dance Studies in college. While there, she was able to work with choreographers such as Chris Aiken, Angie Hauser, Nancy Stark Smith, Sean Dorsey, Ellie Grace, Barbie Diewald, Joy Davis, + many others. i also produced my own choreography + was Artistic Director of the student-run dance company. the major itself introduced me to physical anatomy, music theory, movement history, + a love for teaching dance. as much as i loved dance, physical limitations became an impediment to pursuing the art as a career. i made the radical choice to attend law school, + now practice full time as a corporate litigator. BUT—i never lost my love of movement, + i enjoy finding new opportunities for exercise + expression wherever i can. when i was introduced to The Joy Project, i knew i had found a home for all of of my movement needs, alongside a community of talented, passionate humans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e993b6d1292bc24d5866bc1/1610738756921-JOLD4E4COJ29KZCCXK2N/JoyProject_200919-07667_WiniLao.jpg why joy?! - Clinton Edward Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
