OUR STORY
My name is Joy Bennet, and my life has been quietly, steadily, and profoundly shaped by yoga.
What began as a simple curiosity years ago has grown into the foundation of everything I do, how I breathe, how I move through the world, how I relate to others, and how I understand myself. Yoga has been my companion through challenge and celebration, my anchor in uncertainty, and my gateway into a life lived with deeper presence, compassion, and connection.
Over time, my personal practice evolved into a calling:
a desire to share these teachings with others, to create a space where people could experience the same sense of grounding, healing, and inner transformation that yoga has offered me.
And so, the Dorset School of Yoga was born.
Here, I have the privilege of witnessing lives unfold and soften, students discovering strength they didn’t know they had, finding calm where there once was restlessness, and reconnecting with parts of themselves long forgotten. My work isn’t just to teach yoga; it’s to hold a space where people can return to themselves.
