Ki Ora, we’re Danica & Nick (Mr & Mrs Joy)
We started this journey in 2015 sharing yoga, meditation & mindfulness.
Our passion for mindful living has led us to teach all over Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton and Raglan.
Mindfulness has had a profound impact on our life and we think it will for you too! It’s about being in the now – with acceptance, love, kindness and compassion.
Jon Kabat-Zinn says it best “Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally”

Rueben Joy
Our greatest teacher
Our little Rueben Joy is almost 3 years old and has been our greatest teacher by far!
Little did we understand when parent previously told us “we don’t have time to meditate” and now we get it! Our little joy reminds us to slow down, smell the roses and surrender to whatever the present moment presents.
He is the inspiration behind our new offering “Mindful Parenting” which helps ease new mums and dads into parenthood.
Our Philosophy
Mindfulness can help you be calmer, more open-minded, optimistic and grateful – it’s why we’ve practiced it for so many years and the reason we teach it. Because everyone deserves to live a joyful life. Mindfulness is about appreciating the small things, as well as the big.
