I first went here 11 years ago and loved my experience, so I'm updating my review with more recent visits, which are still consistently amazing. The studio is clean, the instructors are amazing (especially Grace, wow did she open me up), and the patrons are friendly. I just love this studio.

Classes do run $30 each so sign up for a package if you can.

Jaya has yoga classes every day, even holidays, from morning through evening. There’s also Pilates, sound baths, occasional community acupuncture, dance parties and reiki sanghas. Most classes are mixed level, and there are special courses for kids, beginners, etc. That said, from what I’ve experienced, all ages, abilities, genders, bodies etc are actively welcomed in mixed classes. Each teacher has a somewhat different approach, so it’s worth taking classes with a few to see what works best for you. They have a generous intro back so that you can do exactly that, and then a range of options from single classes to multipacks to memberships. Bring your own gear, or use their mats, blankets, blocks, bolsters, etc.
This is a caring community where you can go at your own pace and made modifications as necessary; no one is going to bully you into injury. On the other hand, if you’re open to guidance, it’s clear that the instructors really care about helping students continually improve strength, balance, flexibility, alignment, etc. Some classes include spiritual elements of chanting and hand mudras. If you’re looking for any combination of exercise, spiritually, friendship and/or community, I cannot more highly recommend Jaya. I’ve been coming here very regularly for over five years and I still learn new things in every class.
Close to the southern entrance of the F/G Fort Hamilton subway station, B16 bus, bike racks, and some parking.

I have gained a tremendous amount of strength and agility as a result of taking classes at Jaya for about 2 years. Probably more than I ever did as a result of running, swimming, going to the gym, or doing gymnastics, and I've been doing those things for many, many years. I also found an incredibly supportive and warm-hearted community here. The community is actually the best part. And doing the teacher training here was one of the best decisions of my life.

Jaya yoga center has changed my life! Every instructor is amazing and so well educated on how to guide practitioners through yoga. The best part of Jaya is really the community they have fostered - the space is so open and welcoming to everyone. Jaya is not just great for my physical spirit but also has helped me become more in tune with my emotions and feelings through becoming connected with myself. I am so grateful i decided to start practicing yoga here and I cant wait to continue my journey with them.

Special shout out to Carla and John! I first came to Jaya after a major surgery and both teachers helped me adapt my practice within my limits while still helping me grow. They have both been vital in my recovery.

I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years, and have tried on many many studios. I am so happy to have found my h(om)e at Jaya. Jaya is so much more than just a yoga studio, it's a true Yoga Sangha. It is a place full of dedicated practitioners and even more dedicated teachers and staff. It is a welcoming and truly INCLUSIVE SPACE. Speaking to the studio itself, all of their locations are beautiful and clean. They provide mats, water, tea, snacks, fruit, and all of the staff and teachers are incredibly warm and helpful. Class cards, and monthly memberships are competitively priced, cheaper than surrounding studios, an all of Jaya's teachers are HIGHLY EXPERIENCED. Beginner and seasoned practitioners will feel both safe and adequately challenged in the practice. The class styles range from yin, restorative, basics, vinyasa flow, slow flow/meditative, strength training, pilates, and everything in between. There is something for everyone! I like to describe Carla's class as a mix between a yoga class and a comedy show. I have found a beautiful, deep sense of community at Jaya, and I hope you will too!

I've lived a lot of places in NYC and been to a lot of different yoga studios (and am a 200 hr RYT myself). I can't express my love for this studio. The instructors are amazing, there's emphasis and community and kindness and I find their classes go beyond the typical yoga studio. If you want to go in and explore, this is the studio for you.

I’ve been going to Jaya for at least 10 years. I’ve learned so much, and have had so many heart-felt belly laughs along the way. I recommend the classes to my patients all of the time. Grateful that it’s part of the community.

Very unclear information about class cards and their expiration dates. Most yoga places have it RIGHT next to the price of the class in parentheses -- aka (expires in 6 months). At Jaya Yoga that information was in the fine print and not written in a clear way for the ordinary consumer. Seems intentional to me - not what I'd expect from a place I would associated with very different values (i.e., not fraud, greed, and corruption). While I did eventually get my money back, it wasn't easy. I won't be going back.

Having recently moved to the area, Jaya Yoga is a wonderful escape from the busyness of NYC work-life. We are all so entrenched in our work that we forget to step back. Jaya Yoga is that spiritual Ashram that is a gift to all those residents in Windsor Terrace. It feels like a safe space to escape to in order to find 'center' in our lives. Ever-grateful for its existence in our area. Between the instructors and the ambiance of the actual facility, can't help but feel great joy that it is in our backyard.

When I moved to this neighborhood (Windsor Terrace) from Red Hook, I was sad to leave the yoga community I had been a part of for many years there. Fortunately, Jaya was close by and I stopped in for a class. Every teacher I have worked with there has been inspiring and knowledgeable. I've even brought my kids for the kids classes and Kirtan. I'm grateful to have found a welcoming and loving community here.
