Yoga asks us to search for clarity and aims to move us beyond illusions and distractions which hide our truest self from ourselves. Translation: Don’t believe everything you think. Clarity of mind has a profound impact on perspective.

From childhood we are always hurrying towards a certain age, waiting for life to start while life is happening in between the numbers. Why is the present moment so underrated? Checking the phone relentlessly, disregarding the moment we are in with the people we are with. Wanting to speed forward to the next phase or goal. Shifting so fast from one thing to another, periods of time in our lives become a blur.

Like an organized group of musicians, a yoga class by its very nature is an opportunity for people to have an individual experience in community. Add a rooftop, live music, and it benefits the community. What’s not to love?

Why are we so afraid of silence? From the girl who likes her music so loud the cars next to her are shaking or hotel security is called- that’s a story for another time. Let’s just say MTV called the show headbangers ball for a reason. Is it not better to go through the silence and discomfort and come out the other end relaxed and extricated from the constant go, go, go energy of daily life and the constant whirling and swirling of the mind? Is it worth it to try?

Why are hips simultaneously so popular and unpopular? Ever been in pigeon pose and felt a strong urge to cry? Maybe to laugh uncontrollably? Often it doesn’t register as emotion at first. Sometimes we feel more of a strong resistance, similar to a reflexive reaction. When emotions come bubbling up mid-yoga pose, it can take us by surprise. For most students their first inclination is to run from it, push it down and frequently attach contempt to the pose or pose family that is responsible for opening the floodgates.

It seems hard to believe it was only ten years ago and at the same time it’s difficult to remember a time before Jaya.

I am inspired every day by our incredible students, dedicated teachers and supportive community.

We are excited to announce Jaya will be relocating, effective November 26th. Our new hOMe is incredible! Think high ceilings, new ventilation system, windows that open and brand new floors- no more squeaking.

By now you have likely heard Lackawanna County has moved to the green phase of reopening. This means legally, our studio can reopen. 

Minimize stress and keep your immune system strong with over 100 practices and meditations. Choose from different skill levels, styles and lengths AND your first two weeks are free.

The most fun way to meditate! Color Jaya the Yogaphant in different yoga poses. 

Under the direction of Governor Wolf for all Pennsylvania non-essential businesses to close for two weeks, Jaya is closed effective immediately. All workshops and events are postponed until further notice. We hope to resume in studio classes on March 30th but our re-open date will be based on guidance from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

With concerns increasing in regard to the Coronavirus (Covid-19), we are committed to keeping our amazing community healthy and safe. Starting immediately, we will begin taking the following precautions and ask you to please join our efforts to maintain a safe environment for all. 

New Years Eve has always been one of my favorite “holidays”! I love the tangible idea of a fresh start, a clean slate and endless possibilities. Some would say each new day is full of possibly, and I agree, but I still feel there is a magical energy about New Years Eve.

Yesterday marked graduation day for the Jaya Vita Yoga Teacher Training Class of 2018. Jaya’s 200 RYT training program is a seven month long program that runs either once a year or every other year.
