Joy Leonardi

Joy first came to the mat in her mid 30s. She has been practicing yoga for the last nine years with the goal to help improve her health, mental strength and flexibility. She took her very first class at Ember Hot Yoga and was immediately hooked.

Through a consistent weekly practice she found that yoga has become more of a lifestyle than just another form of exercise. Over the last 8 years of practicing, she has seen and felt a tremendous improvement in overall health, mind and body. In 2019 she knew she was ready to take the next step in furthering her practice by completing the 200 hour RYT program to earn her certification right here at Ember Hot Yoga.

Yoga gives her a moment to take time out of every day, which in turn she feels makes her a better wife, mom and business owner. Joy enjoys practicing a variety of yoga styles and believes that it is for anyone who is willing to step on the mat. She is constantly seeking new ways to improve her practice which allows her to incorporate it into her teaching.
