Renea Egan

Yoga has been a part of my life for just over five years. While a lifetime fitness enthusiast and Pilates practitioner, I began searching for something deeper to connect my physical wellness and mental wellness.

When I started Jaya’s Beginners Series, I felt the connection I’d been searching for, to both the practice of yoga as well as the community at Jaya. Practicing yoga gave me peace of mind, improved strength, flexibility and confidence. A surprise leg injury put me on the path to the Jaya Vita teacher training and revealed my desire to share my passion for yoga through teaching.

My classes aim to provide steadiness and ease through breath, while embracing growth, change and creating a peaceful state of mind; both on the mat and off.

Cindy Condella

Movement for me has been a means of connection since childhood. Through dance I found the simple joy of physical motion. During a transitional time in my adult life, I began to seek a way to capture that joy on a deeper level. Soon after my first yoga class I began to understand the significance of the ancient practice as the discipline encourages a unique physical and metaphysical awareness. Through stillness, breath, and movement a transformation began to take place. It became important to me to share my passion and experience with others. In 2016 my yoga teaching began, and my learning continued. My classes are breath focused with an emphasis on transitions. I use my dance experience to create sequencing that safely opens the body and allows for energy flow. Yoga is a tool to help navigate all stages of the physical and emotional challenges life presents. It’s important to make my classes accessible to all those seeking a physical & spiritual connection.

As a teacher, she loves to help challenge her students in ways that help them grow physically and mentally. Her classes aim to share yoga as a means to empower her students with tools to use both on and off the mat. Erica is a graduate of Marywood University and spends her days working in Lackawanna County Central Court. And no, she cannot get you out of jury duty. She loves dancing, fashion, potatoes, and the beach.

Meg Pregmon

Yoga has been a part of my life for just over five years. After having my second baby, I needed something to nourish and ground me. Yoga helped me to focus and grow, as a person and a parent. Practicing yoga has invited me to become aware of my mind, body and spirit in a way I hadn't been able to before.

Convinced life should be driven by two c's...curiosity and compassion, I have most recently, become a certified yoga teacher though a 200-hour RYT with Jaya Vita Yoga. As a teacher I will invite you to be curious and compassionate with yourself and ignite the spark of possibility. My classes seek to offer a spirit of playfulness, mindfulness through movement, peace of mind and presence in your body; both on the mat and off.

Peggy Voyce

Peggy was introduced to yoga 10 years ago after a hamstring injury. As a registered pharmacist, wife and mother, her strategy was to use yoga as a means to get back to her routine and the gym. Peggy discovered yoga not only helped build back her strength, but also increased her flexibility and calmed her racing mind.

As her practice grew so did her realization that life is yoga and yoga is life. We are challenged on our mat the same way we are challenged in life. Yoga asks us to do our best in various poses and continue to breathe mindfully throughout. Life asks us to do the same. Mindful breathing is the key. It is truly a superpower and one we always carry within.

Wanting to share her passion for mindfulness and yoga, Peggy received her 200hour RYT with Jaya Vita in 2016. Peggy’s classes aim to remind you to love who you are, have compassion for yourself and others, to accept our imperfections and to love them. Press the pause button of life, find your breath, strength, joy and your true peace.
