Joy opened North Shore Yoga in May 1996 after seeing a need for a full-time 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 began teaching Yoga in 1992 for Mande White at City Yoga and went on to pass her first Iyengar teaching certificate in September 1995 and in December 1995 went on her first trip to Pune, India to study with the Iyengars for two months. Joy went back to Pune again in December 1998 for Mr Iyengar's 80th birthday celebrations and another 4 weeks of yoga with the Iyengars.
