MEET CARIN DEAN (Founder, Rule-Breaker, Unapologetic Truth-Teller.)

Carin Dean built The Joy Institute for the wild thinkers, the restless doers, the ones who refuse to live a half-life. With a background in cultural exploration, branding, and somatic coaching, she helps people strip away the masks and live fully, fiercely, and freely.

Human interactivity in its various guises is key to all the work I undertake. I studied a degree in languages to understand the nuances of communication and how it relates to our understanding and perception of our world. I supported my majors of French and Italian with sociology and psychology, interweaving human behaviour and interaction with our complex communication framework.

I’ve spent three decades exploring human engagement experience with businesses, brands, organisations and media and how ideas translate to actions and commercial strategies translate to growth.

I’ve spent the last decade exploring the more complex human interaction with self, the body, the brain and each other and how experience, society, institution, beliefs, information and agency shift the way we engage with the world.

Suzanne trained and finsihed her 500 hour Ishta training in 2003 and has recently completed her Kundalini Level 1 /eacher Training.  Having completed her University studies in Psychology and further training in the field of Biodynamic Psychotherapy and Neuro-linguistic programming,  she was lead  to exploring yoga as a modality for healing, restoration and balance.  

Suzanne's workshop are about encouraging students to first open into heart conciousness and then to awaken the creative and playful nature of their own inner child.   Combined with the understanding that there is a whole magnificent and powerful spirit within has inspired Suzanne to create classes around these subjects.
