Maya Joy embodies both the magical and the sacred while remaining firmly grounded.

I’ve attended Maya’s Shakti Flow classes since 2020, along with several of her other offerings.

What strikes me most about Maya is how she embodies both the magical and the sacred while remaining firmly grounded, sensible, and practical — and how naturally she moves between these worlds. That rare balance is evident in everything she does.

Her Shakti Flow classes are a good example: they open with mantras and mudras seated in a circle, then move into yoga stretches designed to bring you fully into your body before — and only then — opening into free dance, before returning to the floor. Nothing is rushed or forced. Each stage prepares you for the next.

I’ve also worked with Maya in one-on-one vocal activation sessions. Here a different side of her comes through — perceptive and adaptable, with a gift for reading what each person needs and finding the approach that works for them.

I’d recommend Maya without hesitation to anyone looking for a practice that honours both the spiritual and the embodied.

Maya helped me understand that we all carry these gifts within us.

Working with Maya has been an incredibly beautiful and life-changing journey. She has been so patient and supportive, guiding me through songs, drumming, and finding my own voice.

For many years, I felt blocked in my throat, rhythm, and melody, believing that singing and music were gifts meant for others. Maya helped me understand that we all carry these gifts within us. Through her guidance, I learned not only about singing, breath, and the muscles involved in using our voice, but also about the layers of fear and self-doubt that can stop us from expressing ourselves fully.

The songs she has shared, her wisdom, and her gentle encouragement have given me confidence I never thought possible. Every session with Maya is a joy, and I leave feeling more connected to myself and my voice.

I am deeply grateful that our paths crossed. Maya’s work is truly special, and the impact she has had on my life is something I will always cherish.

I first met Maya back in 2019 attending one of her Kirtans. My interactions with her since then, including a family constellation session, have always been supported by her generous and rich knowledge of interdisciplinary methods and have lead to profound shifts in my own life. Maya offers a gentle yet grounded presence, is fluent in the arts of music and sound and maintains integrity in her healing sessions as she holds special for others. Thank you Maya!

Maya Joy has a truly special gift for creating spaces that feel both deeply nurturing and wonderfully magical.

Every Shakti Flow and Bliss Dance event I have attended has been a beautiful journey of connection, healing, and self-discovery.
From the moment you enter the space, Maya’s warm presence makes you feel completely safe, seen, and welcomed. She holds each gathering with such authenticity, grace, and love that it allows everyone to fully relax, open their hearts, and simply be.
Her events are nourishing on every level — body, mind, and soul. There is a unique magic in the way she weaves movement, energy, and connection together, creating experiences that feel truly out of this world. I always leave feeling lighter, more grounded, inspired, and deeply grateful.
Maya is not only a gifted facilitator but also a genuinely beautiful human being. Her kindness, wisdom, and radiant energy shine through everything she does. I wholeheartedly recommend any of her events to anyone seeking a safe, empowering, and transformative experience.

Deeply Authentic and So Powerful

I have attended many classes by Yogini Maya Joy. She holds deep space which gives me the freedom and safety to go within, release what is ready to be released and find greater joy. Absolutely transformative!

I have followed Maya since her early days as a yogini at Virgin Active Steenberg, then followed her to Shakti Flow and Kirtans at Eat, Surf , Yoga and now still enjoy her energy at monthly Shakti Flow in Kalk Bay or whenever our paths cross.

Maya exudes a powerful spiritual energy to all her endeavours, and this feeds the collective and allows us to express ourselves openly, honestly and without judgement in the space she holds.
