I have been going to Jai Yoga School for several years now. My experience is always excellent. The facility is clean, safe, peaceful and everyone there is always super nice. My class this week with Nicole was great. I left relaxed, feeling flexible and ready for the day. Highly recommend. Thanks Jai Yoga.

This place is incredible! Appreciate the yogi vibe. All classes are great but I especially enjoy Kayla! Kayla is absolutely amazing! I've taken a lot of yoga classes and she is the total experience! Very spiritual, guides you through the entire class and moves around alot to allow everyone to see her postures. Her energy is impressive and contagious and every class is different. I look forward to every class with Kayla and wish she taught more! Her finishing touch of walking around with insense seals the whole experience for me when you’re in shavasana.

I really appreciate how Kayla makes every class feel like a special opportunity to connect through yoga with a unique and creative approach, and she provides a spiritual connection and revisits that throughout the class from start to finish

Jai is one of the best yoga studios I have ever been to. The instructors are top tier and all teach fun, interesting flows with a lot of meaning behind the movements. The studio as a whole is a whole experience with the smells of incense, the nods to the roots of yoga all around, and it's also such a welcoming atmosphere. I've been to many classes here and I leave every single class feeling held and rejuvenated. Highly recommend you check out the classes, as well as their special events.

Wonderful Friday wind down. Exceptionally clean studio. The pace of the class kept me engaged. The instructor was awesome. She kept moving around the room to demonstrate the ideal position. Was able to vary her voice as well to be heard across the room. Very kind and kept her breath on point as a reminder to keep mine in point. Very cool. Very happy. Will be back.

Jai has offered many wonderful experiences for my yoga/spiritual practice including sound baths, topical yoga classes with Cheryl, hot yoga with “the Teacher’s Teacher” & owner herself, Meg, as well as Paddle Boarding Yoga with Amy in which the recent class was joined by a bald Eagle. I’m truly thankful for this space including the welcoming faces I always see there. Thank You, Jai ! ✨

I was visiting my friend in the area and did the Sat AM Kundalini class this past weekend. I have done a lot of yoga but had never done this type of practice and had a great experience! The teacher was very friendly and explained everything well, and also encouraged modifications/breaks as needed. I liked the focus on detoxification. The room is beautiful and peaceful and the incense smells amazing. I felt the class was a good value for the price. The front desk staff was also very friendly and kind. I recommend this place and would definitely come here regularly if I lived in the area!

Jai Yoga has some fabulous class offerings. The 40-Days to Personal Revolution class is transformative— Jess Padula, the instructor, challenges you physically, emotionally, and spiritually, encouraging growth and evolution on every level. Her guidance is inspiring, and the class is a perfect balance of challenge and support. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to deepen their practice and push themselves in the best way possible. Jess is truly exceptional, and I feel so grateful to learn from her!

The venue was clean and smelled amazing. The staff and clients were incredibly kind and welcoming. Despite the class i signed up for being very full considering it was the first day of the New Year the instructor and staff made sure i had enough room and felt comfortable. The session itself was amazing and any question I had was thoughtfully answered. After class other clients were just so friendly and offering insight into other classes I might enjoy based on our conversations. To feel community with just one visit to the studio is very special and rare. You all should be proud. I can't wait to return!

It was my first class and the lady at the front introduced herself and unprompted gave me a tour and explained how everything worked and where everything was. Then the instructor came up to me and introduced herself and talked me through what the class would look like and asked if I had any questions. I really felt welcomed and the nervousness I had disappeared because of them. Then finally the class itself was really well done and I felt genuinely relaxed and positive at the end. I'd highly recommend Jai for anyone new to yoga!

Nothing but great things to say about this place. Having experienced several yoga spaces, Jai stands out above the rest. From the moment you enter, the atmosphere is full of serenity and relaxation. I would highly recommend Jai to anyone who is curious about Yoga or seeking a deeper connection with themselves. From the decor of the studio, soothing scent of the incense and the Authenticity of the people, it creates a very welcoming energy. If you need an escape from a busy or hectic life, a moment of stillness, or just want to learn something new about yourself. Jai is the way to go.

This is truly the most incredible yoga studio. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by friendly teachers and members of the community, and you feel an immediate sense of peace and happiness. From the sweet smell of the incense to the natural light and beautiful decor, the entire space genuinely feels safe, magical, and like a second home. The instructors are kind, patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and inclusive. With a wide array of classes, there is something for everyone--from gentle classes to core flow to hot vinyasa, Jai has a great selection of both regular and heated classes. I also love the emphasis on the spiritual, authentic aspects of yoga, as opposed to many other studios that are primarily workout-focused. We really are blessed to have such a special place in the area. I feel so grateful to have discovered Jai, and I only wish I had found it sooner!!

Jai has been consistently the only yoga studio that I will go to. I began going in 2018 and when the world shut down and Jai was allowed to reopen I started classes 2 x a week. I found all instructors are amazing and I have my favorites that teach Gentle Yoga. You won't be disappointed...ever.

After practicing yoga at home via YouTube since the pandemic, I finally made it to my first yoga class. Jai was a perfect setting for a studio introduction.
Clean, welcoming, thoughtful experienced instructors, and they’ve built a great community.
I had a one month pass and went to 7 classes, I experienced vinyasa, hot bikram, rise and shine, and hot power.
I especially enjoyed the challenge of the hot yoga classes, and also starting mornings with rise and shine.
I highly recommend Jai Yoga.

I just bought a 6 month membership and I have really enjoyed my experience so far, especially with the Monday Yin and Meg’s vinyasa class. All the instructors are welcoming and knowledgeable. The space is great. Ways to make your programming better for me personally (I know these suggestions may not be applicable to the general membership): 1. More yin classes on different evenings other than just 1x per week (the 7:15 time is perfect); 2. Classes a bit earlier in the afternoon on a few days (3:30?); 3. Classes earlier in the morning on a few days (I start work at 7am as do many in health care; 5am or 5:15 would be ideal). Thanks for everything you do.

I'm going to start this review by saying I have never done yoga before walking through the doors of Jai.. I came across a new student deal that they offered and ended up going to a class every day for a week and I felt better and stronger each class, with a growing excitement of coming back for more. I took classes that were good for beginners, and the variations they offer to assure everyone is comfortable and still getting the most out of it had me confident I was in great hands. I had different teachers throughout the week, each with their own styles and approaches, and all were fantastic, warm, and welcoming! The staff overall are great, it felt like I was part of the family from the start. Plus the snow impacted a class and the accommodation made was instant, another example of great customer care! The school itself is clean and calming right from the start. I'm looking forward to continuing classes to enhance my yoga abilities and mindfulness, within only one week I felt a difference, and I NEVER thought I'd be able to say that since I can't ever shut my brain off - but I'm learning!!
Thank you Jai!

When I first walked into Jai, one woman went running up to another one and gave her a flying hug. I was then warned that if I kept coming I would get hugged too.
That's a pretty good picture of the openness and welcoming vibe at this studio. Rarely have I come across such a strong community or such excited, engaged teachers. I have yet to take a bad class, and even when I'm tired I'll still make the 20-25 minute drive because the classes are just that good.
P.S. If you don't want a hug, it's okay to tell Kristi "no."

I tried a few yoga studio's in the capital region, and Jai came up on top. Great studio, staff, and location. Highly recommended A+

Jai offers a surprising amount of classes and styles for how small the studio is. The online booking is very easy and you should be sure to use it because popular classes will fill. I've enjoyed the early morning classes (just the right time to still get to work after), the restorative yoga, and I just recently had an excellent massage. There is certainly a strong community here, which can be a little intimating for a beginner or new yogi - I've felt that some classes don't offer enough adaptions of poses and seem like they are geared towards regulars - but I've also encountered teachers who will work with you one on one, so it's just important to let them know what you are looking for. Really, my only complaint is that I wish they'd play less DMB :)

Might be my favorite yoga studio in the Capital District. We used to take classes with Meg at a different studio, and followed her here where we also discovered Katie. In addition to the excellent teachers, the place itself is the perfect size for an intimate class, it's very welcoming, clean, and calming.

Jai Albany is a place to connect with an incredible community of healthy, loving, fun people. The studio is without mirrors, but with teachers who guide your practice to mirror everything you need to see within yourself. Meg Allen has cultivated an amazing team to teach in this sacred and aesthetically delightful space and she continues to bring the Jai community together through various events and workshops that round out the yoga experience beautifully. I feel so lucky to have found Meg and this community!

Where to begin on just how wonderful JAI is? The details, atmosphere, instructors, practitioners, and vibes in that space are all just above and beyond! The brand new space makes you feel like you're home as soon as you walk through the doors. Meg and Dustin are filled with so much passion and love, and make you feel like the best version of yourself every time you're in their presence. Each instructor exudes happiness, and provides their own style, which makes practicing at JAI continuously exciting and fresh. Wishing I could practice there more often, but anytime I find myself in town, I'll be sure to make sure I can enjoy the gift of JAI!

One of the BEST yoga studio's I have ever been to! Staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, and assists you in anything you need. the studio itself is beautiful and calming, and It is pure joy just to walk through the doors. I look forward to becoming a more experienced yogi at Jai, as should you! And prices and packages are so reasonable, there is no reason not to!!

I have been practicing yoga for 7 years and am always up for trying out new places when they open. I learned about Jai through reading Metroland and was immediately interested in visiting. My first class with Meg was an unbelievable experience and I was instantly hooked on Jai. The atmosphere is extremely relaxing with a beautifully done rustic vibe. I try to go as often as possible, and have had the opportunity to practice with several of the amazing instructors there. They all offer their own unique experiences and attitudes that makes each class invigorating, challenging and mindful all at the same time. If your looking for a new place with amazing yoga classes this is definitely it!

The minute you step foot into the studio you can feel how much time, effort and love Meg, Dustin and their team have put into it. It's nothing like any other yoga studio I've ever been to with the zen/country atmosphere it brings. The instructors are all extremely inviting and you never feel out of place whether you're a beginner or have been practicing for 15 years. Jai speaks for itself when the classes were all full the week they opened! I look forward to the many more classes I'll be taking here!

I truly feel at home when I lead classes- and connect with every person on such an amazing level. A great place to try and enter into the world of yoga. Thank you for providing this beautiful space!
