Joy Et Mare: Global Empowerment Retreats
Welcome to
More Joy Wellness
Hey, I’m Brittany — a yoga teacher and wandering heart who seeks soul nourishment in many forms. More Joy Wellness is a passion project created by my husband James and I fueled by our love of yoga and mindful living. Thanks for being here.
Where it started
For me, yoga wasn’t love at first sight. I had practiced it many times and always felt frustrated for not being strong enough or flexible enough.
But then, at the ripe age of 22, I stumbled into an aerial yoga class, and everything changed. The antigravity, freeing movements helped me let go of that not enough feeling, and lean into joy, pride, and tiny transformations. It reminded me I was capable and it made me feel good in my body — maybe for the first time ever.
Why More Joy Wellness
More Joy Wellness was born from a quiet conversation between my husband and me — blending our middle names (Morrison + Joy) and our shared belief that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be playful, personal, and present in the everyday. Not just on the mat — but in the way we eat, rest, create, and connect.
Since then, my teaching has spanned continents — from donation-based classes in backpacker hostels to workshops abroad — all grounded by my regular offerings on the Mornington Peninsula, where I live in coastal Victoria, Australia. I’ve trained in several styles (including aerial, of course!) and in several countries, with that same spirit of curiosity and connection continuing to guide everything I do.
My Guiding Principles
At the heart of my teaching is a love for creativity, nature, and compassion. Whether we’re flowing through a vinyasa sequence, pausing to breathe beneath the trees, or sipping tea after a workshop — I aim to offer experiences that are inclusive, grounding, and real. Not about fixing ourselves, but about feeling more like ourselves.
More Joy Wellness exists to remind us that joy can be a practice. One rooted in movement, presence, beauty, and community — and maybe a little magic too.
I’d love to share it with you.
