Have you ever wanted more joy in your life?
We have, so we changed our last name to Joy and started teaching yoga, meditation and mindfulness.
Hi, we’re Danica, Nick and Yogi. We started on this journey 3 + years ago as “Bikes & Bends” which combined our passions for yoga & bikes.
Our business grew quickly and overtime we outgrew this quirky name.
Our mission hasn’t changed, although our main focus is now sharing Joy.
And with this, we’re rebranding as “Joyful” very soon. We hope you’ll continue to support our journey as we move into this next exciting chapter.
“The best teachers show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see”
