Joysha’s Biography

Joysha is a Pilates and Gyrotonic instructor and certified Rolfer whose breadth of training is rare even within specialist studios. A Polestar Pilates comprehensively certified studio instructor and Gyrotonic Level 1 certified trainer, she is also an Authorised Scolio-Pilates® Practitioner and trained in Core Align, giving her a precise, anatomically grounded approach to movement assessment and rehabilitation-focused programming.

In recent years, Joysha has extended her practice into hands-on bodywork. She is an Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) certified practitioner, with further certifications in Lymphatic Drainage Therapy from the Chikly Health Institute and in Scarwork Therapy. This allows her to address postural imbalance, soft tissue restriction and scar tissue adhesions directly, alongside the movement retraining that resolves them for the long term. Her Scarwork qualification is particularly relevant for post-surgical clients, including women recovering from caesarean delivery, where scar tissue restrictions can affect movement, comfort and core function long after the surgical site has healed.

As a certified Prenatal and Postnatal Pilates Specialist through The Center for Women’s Fitness, she guides women safely through pregnancy and methodically through post-natal recovery, from early core and pelvic floor restoration to a full return to strength.

Her clinical philosophy is straightforward: movement training and manual therapy are more effective together than either is alone. Whether her clients are managing scoliosis, preserving strength and independence in later life, or rebuilding after injury, every programme begins with an individual assessment and is progressed around their presentation and goals.
