Jaya moved back to NJ to be close to her family and offers private yoga and therapy sessions at her home studio in Monroe Township, NJ and teaches Multi-level Yoga at IYI, Princeton and in the Regency Community Clubhouse, Monroe Township.

Her favorite quotes:
"Make your life easeful, useful and peaceful" – Gurudev Sri Swami Satchidananda ji

"Don’t look behind people’s intension, otherwise your life will always be in-tension" - Shri shri Ravi Shankar

Jaya studied at the University of Michigan, NJIT and MIT and worked for a large corporation as an IT professional for over 20 years. In 2003, her life was transformed when she used yoga to heal herself after an accident. That faith in yoga led her to the Integral Yoga Institute (also known as Yogaville) in Buckingham, VA; where she received a certification as an Integral Yoga instructor. In 2005, she also received her certification in the scientifically proven Yoga of the Heart program with Nischala Joy Devi, director of Dr. Dean Ornish's program for reversing Heart disease. In 2008, Jaya completed 13 months of training under Mukunda Stiles, the father of Structural and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy. This therapy training has transformed her life and Yoga has become her passion.
