We are doing a Secret Santa gift exchange at the studio and everyone who wants to participate is filling out a little questionnaire so their shopper has ideas for what to give them.

I am so tickled that fully one third of the people who have filled these out so far put "Yoga" next to favorite sport, and RealJoy Yoga next to Team! 🤣

If you haven't signed up yet, there is still time! Next time you are at the studio, pick up the Secret Santa flyer and let us know YOUR favorite sport! LOL

What a fun time decorating my tree at the studio today! And wowza! The RealJoy community is so generous! We are collecting toys for D.O. it for Denny who does a free holiday shopping event for 500 local families in need. We will be donating basketballs, footballs, Legos, puzzles, games, stuffed toys, even a scooter! We are collecting NEW unwrapped toys at the studio until 12/6. Bring a donation if you feel called.

Thanks to all the lovelies who helped me today! The worst part about putting up an artificial tree is fluffing it when you get it out of the box. Many hands made the chore go SO FAST! And they even donated some amazing ornaments. So fun today! Thanks for your help ladies!!!

You know you want to come with us to Costa Rica next March 8-15th! There are only a few spots left, 10 people are already signed up, plus Candice Lamarand Photography and Joy Montgomery. This will be my last trip to Costa Rica for a while, so if it's on your bucket list, sign up now. We will be sleeping in charming jungle bungalows, across the street from the Caribbean. Price goes up Jan 6th.

I am looking into other locations for a fall 2026 4-day trip, and Feb 2027 7-day trip. (Open to hear your suggestions!)

Life moves fast. We are all so busy. Here is your chance to slow down and get back to nature. Imagine, a week long savasana surrounded by a jungle paradise. During our stay, we will have full use of the Tierra de Suenos Lodge & Wellness Center, located in Playa Chiquita, 6 kms from Puerto Viejo de T...

Hi All!

Just a note to let you know that Momence, our scheduling software, is down this morning. They are aware and working on the problem. If you try to sign up for a class, it will tell you there are no classes available. It's just a technology glitch.

Tonight, we still have Yoga Basics at 6pm and our members only Arm Balancing Clinic at 7:30pm. If you're already signed up, come. If you're not signed up yet, come anyway and we will sort it out on paper before class.

Hopefully they get it resolved quickly. Thanks for your patience.

Light & Love,

JJoy Montgomery

We just got in our new shirt order! Looking lovely in Teal!
(I swear, it's not a cult! It's more like a sorority! Lol)

We have a few more long sleeved t-shirts in stock, and more hoodies on order, coming this weekend, I hope. Let me know if you want one before they sell out. Most are already spoken for.

RealJoy Yoga always celebrates when our members hit big milestones: 100 classes, 200 classes, woo hoo!! Today, for the first time, we celebrated as Amy Mahoney hit 500 classes!!! She is our most prolific student!

Amy has been coming since the very beginning, before we moved into our permanent location. She found us and we found her, right on time.

I'm so grateful for this community and grateful I get to practice yoga with beautiful souls like Amy.

Today we also had Bailey practicing Yin for the very first time and she loved it! Whether it's your first class, or your 500th class, yin is a practice that meets us right where we are, every time.

Congratulations, Amy! You're such an inspiration. We bow down to the queen of Yin ☯️ 💜🕉🧘🏼‍♀️.

Thanks for all your concern while I was sick last week. So many of you reached out to check on me and offer help and support if I needed it. I felt the love! Thanks to my amazing teachers, Diane and Katie, who covered all my classes while I was home blowing my nose! I'm feeling much better and I'll be teaching tomorrow (Sunday). I miss everyone so hope to see lots of you.

While I was home sick, I finally set up my yoga and meditation room! I've wanted to have a room like this since I was 20! I love it. The new space inspired me to do some lovely creative yoga which led to some fun break-throughs!

1) I invented a whole new sun salutation using a block between the ankles. Curious? Come to my flow class at 10am on Sunday!

2) I have a new shoulder sequence using a block that wakes up the whole shoulder, neck, upper back region! I'll introduce that at my Yoga Basics this Tuesday at 6pm.

3) I haven't taught Yin in 10 days! I miss it! I've got a whole new playlist for you guys. It is full of voices "humming" and gives me all the feels! Step out of the chaos of your world and come melt with me. Join me Sunday at 11:30am.

4) Also, we have our Book Club tomorrow at 1pm, All the Way to the River by Elizabeth Gilbert. What a read!

Excited to see you guys soon! 💜🕉🧘🏼‍♀️
