Science is slowly catching up with what yogis have known for centuries—yoga transforms not just the body, but the brain.
A new review of studies reveals how yoga boosts brain function, improves mood, and helps ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and even PTSD.
As the winter months settle in, this ancient practice can be a powerful antidote to seasonal blues.
Here’s what the research found:
🧠 Yoga sharpens your brain:
• Regular practice strengthens areas tied to memory, focus, and learning
• MRI scans show yogis have a thicker cerebral cortex (for processing information) and hippocampus (for learning and memory), areas that usually shrink with age.
• Yoga may help slow age-related cognitive decline and boost mental sharpness.
💙 Yoga lifts your mood:
• Increases GABA, a brain chemical linked to calmness and reduced anxiety.
• Activates the parasympathetic nervous system through deep, steady breathing—bringing the body into a state of rest and ease.
• Reduces emotional reactivity, helping you respond to life’s challenges with more grace and less stress.
🤲 Yoga settles the mind:
• A review of 15 studies found yoga is one of the most effective complementary therapies for easing depression and anxiety—especially in older adults.
• Yoga’s mood-boosting effects were found to last longer than other relaxation techniques, including massage and music therapy.
• Research also shows yoga can reduce symptoms of PTSD when used alongside other treatments, helping to calm intrusive thoughts and emotional overwhelm.
✨ ❄️The science is real, but the magic is felt. As winter continues on, let your practice be a source of warmth, clarity, and deep inner connection. Yoga doesn’t just help you get through the season—it helps you bloom within it. 🪻
So you wanna get physically AND emotionally strong and steady?
Find Strength at Your Center—Core Flow Mondays & Thursdays at 4:30 PM
Your core is more than just muscles—it’s a center of power, stability and confidence. In yoga, intentional core engagement is about creating a foundation for deeper movement, injury prevention and energetic alignment.
Core Flow Class Focus🫴
Support & Stability – A strong core helps support your posture, your spine and allow for safe, sustainable movement.
Strength Before Openness – Before we expand into deep backbends or twists, core activation ensures we move with integrity and balance.
Energetic Fire (Manipura Chakra) – Located at the solar plexus, this energy center is connected to confidence, willpower, and transformation.
Strengthening your core isn’t just physical—it’s personal empowerment.
See you there 😉

🧡Jai Vinyasa: Build heat and explore new ways to deepen your practice in this dynamic and invigorating class.
Endless opportunities to move, breathe, and grow!
Students turn to yoga as the perfect complement to their workouts because it offers something unique: a balance of strength, recovery + deep full-body awareness that enhances every aspect of their wellbeing.
💪Yoga asana innately enhances flexibility + mobility, supporting injury prevention + recovery. It builds core strength, stability + connection creating a solid foundation for all movement. Many students choose hot yoga to aid in alleviating muscle stiffness and soreness, making it ideal for active recovery. It helps to flush out toxins by stimulating sweat glands, which can speed up your body’s natural healing process after intense workouts. Plus, the heat boosts oxygen delivery to the muscles, stimulating endurance + recovery while giving you a detoxifying full-body experience.
🌎Beyond the countless physical benefits, yoga brings about profound internal focus + emotional intelligence, helping you feel clear, intuitive + resilient whether in the gym, on the mat, or out in the world.
🧡What truly sets yoga apart is its ability to show you how much you’re capable of—both in effort and in rest. In a world that often celebrates nonstop hustle, yoga reminds you that you are always worthy of slowing down, recharging + simply being. The addition of hands-on assists deepens the practice, offering personalized support + connection that helps you refine your movements + feel empowered in your body.
The practice brings people together; a community that inspires growth, support + belonging.
💭This may just be the holistic approach to wellness that you’ve been looking for…

🌀 Saturday 12.8 at 4:00pm 🌀
In a world that’s always begging us to take on more, or move through life faster, restorative yoga invites you to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
It’s far more than just relaxation—it’s a reset for your entire system.
Here’s how:
- Slow Your Thoughts – Gentle, supported postures help calm the nervous system, quiet mental chatter, and draw your consciousness to the present moment.
- Support Your Digestion – When your body is able to relax deeply, you shift into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), helping to allow your systems to function more smoothly.
- Boost Your Immunity – Chronic stress and “run-around” can weaken the immune system. By reducing stress hormones and encouraging deep rest, restorative yoga strengthens your body’s natural defenses.
Enhance Your Sleep – Struggling to wind down at night? This practice soothes the nervous system, signaling to your body that it’s safe to soften, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.
Each month is a chance to join us to honor rest as a form of self-care.
Your body, mind, and soul deserve it. 💛
So, you really wanna be a yoga teacher?
Or maybe you’re looking to deepen your personal practice?

The year so far … 💭
Life has a way of blending its most magical moments into fleeting glimpses—a quick reel of connections, growth, courage, and strength. Each frame tells a story, yet the depth behind them often goes unnoticed.
May we remind each other to truly live every moment—every feeling, every breath, every connection—wholly and unapologetically. To embrace life’s fullness, not just in joy but in fear, sadness, and everything in between.
Grateful for every soul who steps into this space, turning it into a little piece of heaven ☁️ every single day. Together, we make the ordinary extraordinary. 🌞 🌔 ⭐️
Here’s to living it all, completely.
We created this fusion class for those days when your body craves both movement and rest—when you want to build heat, release tension, and really let go.
Begin with a flow that opens, stretches, and strengthens, before easing into the ultimate cool down. With a perfect blend of yin and restorative yoga, this class helps you slow down, unwind, and melt into a deeper state of relaxation.
It’s the perfect opportunity to nourish both your body and mind, leaving you calm, centered, and fully ready to surrender into the bliss of shavasana.

See you there ☺️
At Jai, we hold space for your true, authentic self—and that can feel like a lot, especially if you’re used to hiding behind expectations or striving for perfection. Here, there’s no need to be anyone but YOU. We’re a community built on heart, connection, and unconditional support, where growth is nurtured at your own pace. We know that our truth is our beauty—scary as it may feel—where hardships and joys are all part of the process.
Being surrounded by a community that fosters genuine connection, support, and acceptance might take some getting used to, especially if you’ve been in places where that’s not the norm. Over time, though, it’s incredibly freeing to let go of the need to prove yourself and instead focus on personal growth, at your own pace. At Jai, the space is open for you to take those first steps toward authenticity—whenever you’re ready. Some may find it challenging, but with time, this space can be a powerful place to reconnect with your soul.
It’s not about fitting a mold—it’s about honoring the beautiful, imperfect journey of being human. And that, we believe, is what makes this place so special.
🩶 we can’t wait to see you soon
