JOY CHEN

Joy took her first AcroYoga class at Om Factory NYC in November 2010. She has been flying high ever since - training and performing partner acrobatics at Circus Warehouse and the Aerial Arts school in NYC with her base Tanya Evans. Primarily influenced by the elegant Dutch style of acro as taught by Niko Douwes, Joy stays strong by eating lots of canned sardines and doing handstands. She is also a 500-hour certified yoga teacher through Yogaworks, and mixes yoga with acrobatic strength and balance training in her classes at Brooklyn Boulders.
