Kelly Murphy



M.Ed, Certified Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher

Owner of Joy Yoga Studio

Kelly Murphy is the owner of Joy Yoga Studio, a heart-centered space dedicated to mindfulness, healing, and self-connection. A 500-hour YTT-certified yoga teacher, Kelly is also trained in trauma-informed yoga as well as vinyasa and kundalini practices. Her unique approach blends ancient wisdom with modern mindfulness, creating classes that feel less like a workout and more like a breath of fresh air.

In addition to being a studio owner and teacher, she is a proud mother of three, a wife, and a dedicated middle school science educator. Her journey into yoga began as a personal tool to manage anxiety. What she discovered was something much deeper..Yoga became the medicine she didn’t know she was looking for, and it transformed not only her life, but also the way she connects with her students and community.

Seeing the growing emotional needs of her middle school students, she began integrating daily mindfulness practices into her classroom, something she continue to this day. Her passion for supporting young people has also led me to work with school districts and professional development teams, training educators to bring mindfulness into their own classrooms and schools.

At Joy Yoga, her mission is simple but powerful: to offer experiences that leave students feeling renewed, refreshed, and more deeply connected to themselves. She believes yoga is not about the pose—it's about the path. And it’s a path she is honored to walk alongside every student who enters her space.
