At J.O.Y., we will teach you how to reduce stress, gain a healthy body, a peaceful heart and best of all...feel great! Our classes are challenging and compassionate, suited for the average person. You don't need to be particularly flexible or strong to begin; however these qualities are likely to develop with time. All you need in order to begin practice, is a desire to be happy.
 
Kelly Mcgrath, owner of the Joy of Yoga Studio and director of Yoga Teacher Training, is a certified and experienced Kripalu Yoga Instructor and Shiatsu Massage Practitioner. Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Kelly began practicing yoga as a young girl in the 1970's with her mother. After many years of globe trekking, and studying Fine Arts at Emily Carr College of Art & Design in Vancouver, Kelly realized her true passion was right under her nose all along, which led her to the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health (Lenox, Mass, U.S.A.) where she received her professional training and certification. She then settled in her favorite city, Montreal, and founded the Joy of Yoga Studio. Kellys classes are high in demand, as she has inspired and taught countless through community yoga classes, workshops, conferences, and yoga teacher training. She is a compassionate and knowledgeable teacher, whose classes are challenging, safe and infused with spirit to uplift the heart.
She specializes in teaching advanced asana and sequencing, yoga for a healthy menstrual cycle, restorative yoga, and loving-kindness meditation. Kelly is also dedicated to maintaining a regular Buddhist meditation practice.
Over the years, Kelly has discovered that integrating Yoga and Buddhist meditation has provided a beautiful opportunity to experience steady presence, openness, health, joy and insight.
“Kelly McGrath has a contagious enthusiasm for learning that inspires students to make a deeper commitment to their Yoga practice. Her warmth and sincerity shines through in everything that she does.” ~ Donna Farhi, author of Teaching Yoga: Exploring the Teacher-Student Relationship |
