Words from our community

“Joy Wellness Yoga Studio has become such a special place for me. The Movement & Vitality class has really helped me build strength, and the Kundalini class leaves me feeling energised and calm. What I love most though is the wonderful sense of community, it's such a supportive, welcoming space where you leave feeling lighter, stronger, and really connected.”

“Such a lovely, welcoming space. I love the range of different classes and that there's always an opportunity to try something new, with something interesting happening. There's a really nice little community feel to it, a beautiful environment with views out to Browns Bay beach. Always leave feeling better than when I arrived!”

“Fantastic studio, friendly team of yogis who are working with you to improve your practice, yoga & Pilates. There are other treatments offered such as reflexology, massage, and acupuncture. There are services for children also with Minds Matter. Something for everyone. I've been here now for over a year and wouldn't practice anywhere else. The team are friendly, supportive and welcoming. You won't know until you come along.”

“I have been with Saskia for 9 1/2 years and love every moment of her yoga classes and her amazing 1 day and weekend retreats. You have inspired my love for yoga and over the years helped me improve my strength and flexibility. Your new yoga space is lovely, warm and inviting and I'm sure will evolve into a great business.”

“Joy has transformed what used to be a yoga studio to a place of health, wellness and community. I love all the classes and the way the owners are open to trying new things. I particularly love the new vitality class where we use weights and resistance bands. It's so much better than going to the gym! Ohhh and we even have a book club.”

“I have been going to Saskia's yoga classes for 10 years now. (Started when I was 63!) It keeps me agile and flexible. Saskia is a special lady, so caring and in tune with our individual bodies. The new studio is a lovely space and has a view to the sea, which is an added bonus. There are classes that suit all ages and abilities plus other services such as reflexology and menopause support. I highly recommend you go along and experience the holistic experiences.”
