Where it all began

Joy opened North Shore Yoga in May 1996 after seeing a need for a full-time Iyengar Yoga School on the North Shore. Joy has been involved with Iyengar Yoga since 1984 when her own back problem brought her to yoga and found that the Iyengar Yoga system was the best thing for structurally realigning skeletal and muscular problems that were causing the back problem in the first place.

Joy has found yoga to be a life changing experience for a lot of students, especially when a person is in a lot of pain when they first come to yoga and find that yoga can give tremendous relief to problem areas like she found in herself with yoga. It is such a complete system for body, mind and soul and anyone can do yoga anywhere, at any age and any condition.

Our Students Say it Best

  • Using ropes as a prop it was possible to attempt / achieve postures that might have not been accessible and I came away feeling so much taller, more open in so many parts of my body and best of all a peaceful and happy mind. It was so much fun and challenging too and highly recommend it to all those yogi minded folks out there! –Carolyn

  • So glad I went to the rope workshop. It was challenging but fun. Afterwards I felt more open and lighter.and feel more confident using the rope to assist me with the asanas. –Barbara

    •  

  • Jane was the most beautiful instructor to have during my pregnancy as her teaching was so compassionate and nurturing. I'm now coming on Monday nights and, whilst I miss Jane, I love Glenn's teaching for where I'm at now - it's more intense and I feel strong and vital when I leave his class. I just adore your studio and all the teachers. –Tui
