    “Jaya Yoga is such a place of high positive energy! All of the classes and instructors offer all sorts of help for different ages, flexibility and spiritual awareness levels. If you are just exploring the world of Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga or an old Yogi looking to hop back on the saddle, beginning your journey through a practice at Jaya is the way to go."

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    “Jaya Yoga offers a great experience both for physical health and for the mind. The knowledgeable instructors are all encouraging. They help to adjust a position - offering variations depending on where your body is at that moment - and to keep you present in the moment, all without judgement. The space is very large and immaculate, with plenty of class times and various events (sunrise yoga, weekend benefit for an animal shelter, kid's camp, etc.) There are clean blocks, blankets, and other materials for student use. This is an overall excellent value to carve some time out for you."

The family at Jaya are always inclusive, which I find comforting and self-affirming. Thank you for bringing me back to my breath.
