I’ve worked and lived in the beauty and holistic world since leaving school, working hard to earn numerous qualifications and experience exploring well-being on a natural level. Since lockdown I began to investigate the infinite possibilities of how my knowledge could be combined with the physical practice that yoga can bring to this idea.
Gaining my qualification in Hatha yoga only in January 2022 with the British School of Yoga, everything is fresh, new and exciting. I’m continuously and intuitively finding ideas to sprinkle holistic elements into practice to include crystals, aromatherapy, massage, reiki, meditation and reflexology which I’m excited to share .
Presently I am coming to the end of my Yin yoga training with the Yoga Alliance with the intention to bring to you a class of this nature along side my holistic yoga very soon.

Over her 20’s Joey worked within education, community dance and fitness practitioner, performer and jointly ran a local musical theatre school but also explored to expand herself personally and professionally sorting opportunities wherever they lead her. Unfortunately in her early 30’s a severe injury hindered her active career yet opened a door to explore other opportunities. Psychology became a key focus with her starting her studies with OU and recently completed her MSc through Wolverhampton University.
Combining past passions to present has enabled Joey to train and work as a movement therapist, take part in psychological projects, counsel and create her own imaginative pathway within practicing wellbeing. Pilates has always been a passion for Joey, and she loves being creative incorporating this with other fitness genres nevertheless, it was Yoga that became a key focus within her rehabilitation mentally and physically.
When starting her MSc Yoga training was offered alongside the qualification which Joey jumped at and started teaching Vinyasa practices. Through this opportunity Joey has adopted her mixed methods of past and present CPD to form classes and practices from chair-based Yoga to stretch and mobility focused classes. Joey brings high energy, dynamics with creativity and enjoyment to her classes and believes connection to oneself is an ongoing journey nurturing the self – discovery path.
