Meet Carmen Joy

Carmen is a meditation teacher, spiritual guide, and devoted mother. Her journey has been a path of continuous growth, exploring the many facets of life while seeking truth, peace, and joy. She believes that we are all here to walk the path of love and authenticity - whether as parents, partners, or seekers - and to dance and celebrate the divine presence in every moment.

Carmen’s journey began in her native Slovenia, but it was when she moved to California that she truly immersed herself in the transformative practices of yoga and meditation. Over the years, she has deepened her understanding and experience in these sacred traditions, becoming a devoted student of their timeless wisdom.

Over the past two decades, her path led her to India, where she studied the ancient teachings of Yoga and Vedanta, as well as Buddhist and Sufi practices. In the heart of India, from the serene heights of the Himalayas to the spiritual ashrams of South India, Carmen’s life was transformed. The spiritual guidance she received, alongside her encounters with many revered teachers, sparked a profound awakening within her being.

Carmen's spiritual education is a lifelong journey, one that continues to evolve as she integrates new practices and insights from different traditions. Her travels and studies have taken her across the globe, connecting with diverse spiritual teachings and inspiring her to embody the wisdom she shares.

Since 2006, Carmen has shared her insights through meditation, breath work, and free-form movement, offering both group workshops and private sessions across the globe, including the U.S., India, and Europe. Her classes integrate ancient teachings with a light and accessible approach, encouraging students to cultivate peace, presence, and inner joy. Carmen's work reflects her belief that spiritual practice must be grounded in love, compassion, and service.

Carmen continues to inspire others to live from their highest truth joyfully, mindfully, and with an open heart. Today, Carmen resides in Woodland Hills, California, where she shares her passion for meditation, breath work and guidance on conscious living. Whether in group settings or one-on-one, her teachings aim to make meditation and mindfulness accessible, light, and playful. 

In addition to her group offerings, Carmen also offers personalized private meditation sessions, guiding individuals on their unique spiritual journeys.
