Joy Rae

Embodied Yoga teacher & Singer

Joy’s journey into yoga began not on the mat, but on the dance floor. Years of dance training gave her a deep love for movement—but also brought physical challenges that pushed her to seek new ways of healing. Yoga opened the door to a gentler, more intuitive way to move, listen, and connect with her body.

As a professional singer and musician, Joy felt a natural pull to weave music into her practice. What started as adding a song evolved into something deeper: a fusion of movement, sound, and healing. She explored how vibration, tone, and music can calm the nervous system, open the heart, and guide people inward.

Today, Joy combines music, sound healing, and yoga into unique, transformative experiences. With over 1000 hours of yoga training, her classes aren’t just about stretching or strengthening—they’re an invitation to feel, to listen, and to remember the wisdom of the body.

Whether guiding a yoga class with live music or leading sound journeys, Joy’s work is rooted in the belief that sound is medicine, movement is healing, and together they create transformation.
