Monday – Friday: 6:30am – 9pm
Saturday – Sunday: 8:00 – TBT based on workshop and event offerings.
A yoga instructor of mine was taught the saying 'you are only as young as your spine is supple'. We see here the full expression of cobra, breaking up all the old energy hanging out in our vertebrae. Even if you are new to yoga and you are doing a baby cobra you are honoring your spine! Join Meg for Jai Vinyasa and find the backbend that you need.
Sundays 9:30a | Jai Vinyasa w/ Meg
This weekend join Tricia and your reiki peers for the opportunity to further your practice by doing work on each other. A wonderful practice in reciprocity, as healers there is often a lot of energy put out to others but this time enjoy the gift of giving and receiving!

One of my yoga instructors has said that it doesn't take very much movement in our asana practice to begin to change our bodies on a cellular level. I think it is important to remember that, when there is such strong social reward for always striving and always pushing. The invitation today is to find the balance between effort and ease. We don't have to reach the fullest expression of a pose to reap the benefits!

Yesterday I gave you just the gentlest of nudges thinking about how one day we will depart our bodies for whatever lays next for our energy bodies. We have a resistance in our culture about talking about death and what it is that we go through when someone we love dies.
Hey, don't feel bad! For years it was WAY easier to pick a fight with my husband than talk about who would take our animals should we both die.
We can carry grace for our old coping tools while looking to the future to asses how we will pivot.
There is an agony that comes when we are the ones left behind after a death, an actual physical pain that comes with the emotional roller coaster. Then, we have been told that there is a linear way through it (we have all heard it sadness, anger, resistance, acceptance-this was actually regarding the process for those dying not the ones left behind) when really grief is waves in a cycle and there isn't a time when we are just 'better' what we do is we learn to integrate it.
Normalize expressing your grief and loss with us. The container is big enough here that we can help hold what you carry. Lets tend to these wounds together.

One thing in this life that is promised besides the knowledge that one day we will all leave this earthly plain, is that change is inevitable! Nick is embracing a new and loving adventure that has him heading out of the Capital Region. Please join us in thanking him for his time here at Jai and sharing his passion for yoga!

We love the concept of moving our bodies because we LOVE them, rather than to change what we might “hate” about them. How does this resonate for you? How do you plan to move your body this week? We’d love to see you at the studio 💗

At Jai we honor that yoga is practice that expands beyond asanan. This is why we bring the harmonium in, chanting, crystal singing bowls, and more. Not only does it attend to the full body but honors the heritage of the practice.
As we are in this time of gratitude and reflection it is important for us to remember that because of colonization people in India were legally prohibited from practicing their yoga. We have the honor of knowing yoga because of brave activists in India who saved their culture. #yogi #yogiclife #namaste #yogalove #yogaschedule #yogastudio #capitalregion #vinyasaflow #yoganidra #delmarnewyork #mindfulness #yogainspiration #yogaeverywhere #yoga #wellnesswarrior #asana #sangha #embodiedmovement #wellnesslifestyle #nys #vinyasa #wellnessjourney
I invite all of us as we sit on our mats today and everyday to keep this knowledge in our hearts. May there is peace in your hearts, peace in your words, and peace in your thoughts. Namaste.
open hearts and open hips. sometimes we need lots of supports to open up, bolsters, blocks, blankets, and when we get them all the old energy we have trapped in our hips can begin to move out. the vulnerability of this pose is so striking the embodiment of opening and surrendering. there is a time and a place to flow and another to 'give-yin to' your need for stillness.

There is a special kind of magick that happens in kundalini. The way we do kriyas for a few minutes can help take you out of your thinking mind and set you more firmly into your body allowing you to really experience the energetic power of the pose. The pause that comes afterwards, is where we connect with source, our energy pulsing and our mind quiet. This is the medicine of kundalini. Join Allison on saturday's at 9:15a to begin your practice!

It can be SO HARD to give ourselves grace when we have sustained an injury. Sometimes, when we try to go back to our practice in a modified format to accommodate our new bodily needs we can feel frustration, grief, joy, and fear. Nicole understands all of it after negotiating her way through some very extensive back struggles. There is nothing like being guided by someone who has walked a similar path. Support your journey to physical recovery this saturday.

It's the last day before our modified schedule for Thanksgiving and I am pondering about the swirl of feelings you all may be experiencing. I know what we are feeling here at Jai is gratitude. It has been a crazy few years bringing the studio through the pandemic and trying to support our clients to the best of our ability.
To have so many in person classes and to be able to connect with our yogis and teachers is such a special delight! Life is such a challenge and I know that it feels so much more manageable with this sangha!
Thanksgiving Day Schedule:
6:30a The Early Bird Gets the Worm (rise + shine)
9:00a Give Thanks Flow (jai vinyasa)
11:00a Grounded in Gratitude (gentle)
I really love this photo! First my eyes catch the lovey symmetry of the long lines with the wide open side bodies. Then I let my thinking mind in and I immediately labeled the pose, side plank-and reflected on what came up for me when holding the word plank in my mind. A lot of body image came up and what our strong cores are 'supposed' to look like. How the front body of our core has had a value system placed upon it. When really there are 4 sides to our cores just as though we are a tree trunk. Building strength is not for the sole purpose of aesthetic any more than yoga is just asanas. We support our spines, we support our organs, and we keep our tree bodies sturdy with strength!
I invite you to take time as you go about your evening or to pause in your scrolling to reflect on maybe what judgements you have placed on your trunks or maybe what value system you have applied to 'planking'!
Remember yoga is for every-body!

Just a few of the ahhhh-mazing crew of teachers we have at Jai right now. Our team makes the space what it is. They bring the magic, the passion, the joy, the energy, the dedication and the excitement that everyone feels walking through the threshold into our very special studio. They are the backbone of our community at Jai.
As we start off this week of thanksgiving, we give thanks for each of our teachers and staff who give so much of themselves to Jai in so many ways.
Please remember to tell those who lift you up that you appreciate them this week, and always.

A few days ago we pondered together what it means to set the intention the night before with setting an alarm so that you can start your day off with some yoga at Jai. There is another side to this conversation though, I want to talk with you about the potential dialogue you may be having with yourself about "shoulds" or maybe what makes a "good" yogi.
You do not need to be up at 5am to be devoted to your practice nor do you need to flog yourself with the idealized idea of what it means to be a committed yogi. Our goal is to help you find the magic that comes with asana. If that means you need to sleep in until 10 minutes before you need to be out the door that is OK. Maybe that means you can make time for yourself in the evening. Tune into your desires, past the layer of judgement and join Emilia for Jai Vinyasa Monday night 6P.

Final Call!! We only have a few slots left for this awesome event! Don't miss out on your chance to spend some time devoted to the areas that tend to be tight all the time! Get that lactic acid moving and banish that stagnant energy in your hips!

As I drove into the studio, I heard this ad normalizing shopping stress during the holidays and to cope with it eat potato chips. It truly is an act of rebellion to choose not to numb, to choose gentleness, and to choose to remove ourselves from the manic energy.
My invitation to you today is to asses the ways that you can be gentle with yourselves as we head into the Holiday season. For MANY people this can be a time of sorrow, frustration, and loneliness. We SEE you.
Lean on your sangha here at the studio. Grab your friends and family and bring them on over to join Nicole for community yoga on sunday's 1p. Let's normalize tenderness together.

As we prepare to start the last day of the work week let's take a moment to reflect on whether we have listened to our bodies the way they deserve.
Did we talk at or engage with our bodies?
Perhaps rather than going out for cocktails you step onto your mat for Happy Hour with Ayla?
What would a Friday night look like where we move with our feelings rather than numb them?
Happy Hour Friday 11/18 | 5:30p

Setting the alarm the night before is a major step of intention setting for the next day. Then getting up when you made the commitment to yourself affirms that you can trust you. Showing devotion on your mat helps you trust life.

Are you looking to make the beginning of this week REALLY special?! Consider joining Natalie for Jai Vinyasa at 10am and then follow it up with a private reiki session with Nicole!
I can only image how incredible it would feel to move all that energy around on the mat and then cast off what is no longer needed with reiki!

Did you know the fastest way to engage your parasympathetic nervous system (the thing that helps us come down) is to get your head lower than your heart?

Are you feeling the big energy this week? Well, Tuesday night there was a full blood moon and a total lunar eclipse… and Election Day… WOWZERS- apparently things didn't get mixed up enough last week! The energy is high right now and we are all feeling it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Work it all out tonight with Mary at Soul Revival or join us for our array of other great classes and chances to ground, center and breathe. All sorts of strong feelings may be perking up and it could feel hard to want to do your practice- but the mat is the best place to be through all the feels! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
See you on your mat! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you know that feeling when you are in Baddha Konasana (butterfly pose) and your hips groan, then sigh a little bit more open? Well Rebecca knows JUST what we are talking about and is leading Happy Hips & Hamstrings to bring hot prana to these tight spots.

It's been just a week since the new moon and solar eclipse! Many of you may have been shoved along by the universe to clear out old energy that no longer serves you, leaving you feeling like you have been hit by a meteor at worst or groggy with emotional hangover at best.
Lift up your heart space to let go of the fear. Could today be a day when strong movement fosters the bold moves you made last week?
