Our Story, Your Path
Joy and Harmony Yoga
Joy&Harmony Yoga was founded at the intersection of science and holistic wellness. Its founder, Mitra Malaekeh, brings together her professional background as a Medical Technologist with the integrative healing principles she studied at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA).
Her classes are thoughtfully designed to incorporate mindfulness, intentional breathwork, and gentle movement, supporting physical awareness, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of balance and inner calm.
The journey of self healing
Benefit from a stressed reduction focused yoga that plays an essential role in the balanced functioning of the nervous system. Yoga is a journey of transformation at all dimensions of the human being, and the yoga postures are the vehicles for this journey rather than ends in themselves.
Cultivating Joy, Harmony, and Balance
We focus on deeper well-being by incorporating mindfulness and intentional breathwork to support physical awareness and nervous system regulation. Discover a deeper sense of inner calm and balance as you journey toward greater joy and harmony.

Experience
Meet Mitra
Mitra’s journey bridges the gap between the biological and the spiritual. After nearly two decades in microbiology, curiosity led her to expand her understanding of the human experience beyond the physical.
She enrolled in the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, becoming a Life Coach (2013) and completing her Yoga Teacher Training (2019).
With extensive knowledge in growth and development, Mitra has been a pioneer in translating Landmark Worldwide education into her home language, Farsi.
She has introduced these courses both in person and virtually, taking this transformative education to Iran and bridging cultures through personal development.
Mitra is passionate about teaching preventive methods for a harmonious life at a young age. She fulfills this need by bringing yoga to children (Ages 5-12).
She currently works with the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley school districts, encouraging wellness, creativity, and long-term health goals for the next generation.
