All the teachers were knowledgeable and caring. the studio itself is beautiful. the non judgmental attitude and the feeling of acceptance for the person you are is amazing. I would recommend this studio. N. M.
My YTT at Jaya Yoga Centre was one of the best experiences of my life. The teachers were passionate and embodied all that they taught. I learned just as much about myself as I did about yoga, and that to me was invaluable. The fundamentals of Yoga (asanas, pranayama, ethics, class format) are essential, but what was extra in this YTT was the philosophy and our many discussions on how to apply it to life, not just on the mat. I am extremely happy to have had the opportunity to train to be a yoga instructor at Jaya Yoga Centre. T. W.
