Hi there!

My name is Joyce. It is so great of you to visit!

I am a Florida native that believes in the power of living a mindful, yogic, life. For as long as I can remember, I have had an unusual, to some, view and way of being. Nothing that has offended too many, as far as I know - although I have no control over the way I will be perceived.

I have led a life where I hugged trees as a child and wondered when I would learn to make bread so that I can trade with my neighbors and save the planet by using fewer fossil fuels, amongst other “necessary” evils.

I come from a family that enjoys movement and comes together around food, music, dance, hair and much more. I am one of the lucky members with two left feet and that has led me to dance anyway but also to find methods of movement that suit me and help me create balance within my self.

I chose the name Breathe with Joyce because I have found that, although breathing is something many of us can do automatically, without thought- it is also something that we have control of and we forget to do, fully, too often. when I consider all of the people in my life and imagine the people across the globe, who have suffered from one thing or another, breathing is often among the first things mentioned as far as where there is difficulty or where there is a need for more effort, in general. In conversation and memorable moments that leave us wishing we had not said or done something… what a slow, mindful breathe could have done.

So, if all you learn about me is the name of the work I am sharing, you will have been reminded to breathe.

When I am not teaching, you will usually find me in the garden, crocheting or brunching. Some of my favorite ways I stay mindful and connected - other than the brunch. Brunch is fun and my favorite early afternoon ritual. I love having a nice, refreshing meal and enjoying the outdoors (preferably). My hope is that this space helps you do the same: breathe a little deeper, move a little slower, and find new ways to care for yourself.

This space is here for me to share and learn, with and from you. I look forward to that and much more.

I wish you well,

Joyce
