As a yoga instructor, Joy has a playful way of reintroducing you to your own personal awakening by gently nudging you to declare freedom from all self-made limitations. Her teaching style is bright, challenging, playful, inspiring and sometimes upside down. One of Joy’s strongest values is G-R-O-W-T-H and you will find this embedded in every levity-filled class she guides you through.

Joy first discovered yoga in college where she happily practiced and studied Iyengar. From there her asana practice went rather dormant while life surrounded her in a variety of other ways. In 2008, she took her first vinyasa class, and as some would say, the rest is history! Joy is ERYT 200-hr certified having trainings in Vinyasa, Iyengar, Baptiste and Bhakti. Outside of yoga, Joy loves to spend time with her family and her pups!

Sonja is a graduate of Better Buzz's first teacher training class back in 2018 and has been teaching in this community ever since. What to expect in one of Sonja's classes? A mixture of soft reflective moments and sweaty strong shapes.

She loves balancing postures and twists, so get ready to wobble and wring it out. Her main goal as a teacher is to promote the idea that yoga is for everyone, so classes tend to be challenging yet accessible. Sonja also loves mixing genres and styles of music from reggae and hip hop to top forty hits, 80's synth pop,funk and electronica.

Gurupriya Beth Sanchez has been teaching since 2001. She loves wading in the energy of group wisdom, song, movement and remembrance of deep reality. She also loves returning to the world of form; loving, preserving and building what is beautiful with humans and more-than-human beings.

Beth’s classes are inspired by her core teachers, Engaged Buddhism Founder, Venerable Thich Nhat Hahn, and Ayurveda Master, Alakananda Ma. She is also invigorated by the Non-Dual Advaita teachings, Indigenous wisdom, Post-colonial ways, and Embodied Justice practices of Kaira Jewell, Larry Ward, and many other teachers. Her primary yoga influences include Richard Freeman and Tias Little.

Beth loves to sing, cook, farm, dance, learn, meditate, and weave new worlds with other like-hearted beings.
