The Joy Yoga Center is truly that, a joy. Joy and her instructors provide a flowing, centered, nurturing approach. Every class is different and provides the individual the opportunity and tools to experience their practice as deeply as they choose to. Challenging, yet always supportive, the instructors are always their to provide individual attention even in large classes. Finally, a place that provides a balance between a purely physical experience and the relaxing more internal aspects of yoga. In truly yogic style, it challenges your assumptions from the begining as it is located in a rather nondescript strip center. Once you enter you will find the facility is graceful, unassuming and inviting. Joy deserves her writeups as "Best Instructor". Go explore for yourself. Everyone could use more Joy in their lives.

What a great support to keep a relaxed attitude in this hectic world! Joy is sensitive to her individual students' needs, capabilities, and limitations. Classes are well organized and focused, but include individual attention. She knows her yoga, and keeps classes fun and challenging. The studio is very comfortable, away from congestion, and easy to reach from downtown. Joy Yoga gives more to keep me fit and stress-free than an other approach I've found -- absolute highest recommendation!
Pros: Knowledgeable instruction / easy access / easy par

Joy Yoga Center is the best kept yoga secret in this city! Joy's compassion and excellent instruction lead her students to discover strengths within ourselves we either buried long ago or never realized we had. The studio is gracefully understated, placing the focus internally which is really what yoga is about. Give yourself the gift of Joy Yoga. You will reap the benefits long after the experience!
Pros: Great teachers! Ample parking. Wonderful atmospher

Houston hasn't caught on to what makes a good and affordable yoga studio yet, so I was willing to give Joy some space to grow--ignoring the smell and the strip-center atmosphere (do strip centers prohibit incense?) Joy has become a little too exhibitionist for my taste (although some of her other instructers are great) AND she has raised her prices. Just not worth it for me anymore...I will have to keep looking.
Pros: Variety of instructors
Cons: Smelly studio, raised prices
