Step into Joy Yoga Center and step into a sanctuary of healing created by owner, Joy Winkler. This understated comprehensive center embodies a holistic philosophy of healing which focuses on individuals' innate ability to discover the strength of their "inner warrior".

Joy Yoga is a challenging vinyasa flow yoga that encourages all levels of yogis to find their edge and enjoy their inner strength. Named as one of the top yoga instructors in Houston (Health and Fitness Magazine), Joy brings an instinctive flow to each of her classes as she guides her students to self-awareness of mind and body thus giving them the ability and courage to move beyond former limitations. Her classes are kept fresh by Joy's integration of her own yoga practice, 20-year dance background, and ongoing studies with widely respected teachers such as Shiva Rea, John Friend, and Jonny Kest.

Other dynamic instructors and therapists bring their individual flavor and expertise to the Joy Yoga Center experience as well. Students can participate not only in numerous yoga classes offered, but also in a variety of classes and services such as BodyTalk, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), yoga facial toning, feng shui, and massage.

"Yoga is a metaphor for life", Joy continuously and gently reminds her students. The benefits of focusing on and flowing with prana (life force) are things with which Joy has first-hand knowledge, having switched from a mechanical engineering career to follow her passion for healing. Joy also extends that passion to the community through Joy Yoga Center 's involvement with various charitable organizations such as The Rose, The Zeke Fund, and St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital .
