Yoga OM (Mind, Body & Spirit) School of Continuing Education

This place is very authentic. I am so impressed by the level of expertise and how nice everyone is! They even offered childcare for my three kids so I could make it to my class. I am now attening regularly and absolutely love it!

I can’t say enough great things about this place. I’ve been doing yoga for years, and I’ve tried my fair share of studios but they all seemed more like a workout business than anything else. The Yoga Om is a studio where you grow your practice. Joy, our teacher brings exactly that—joy. The way she teaches and applies the practice to everyday life does not bring ephemeral happiness, but lasting joy that develops from commitment. Although it is ashtanga yoga, her classes are not some predetermined set of postures. She works with each student at their level and with their potential in every class. She KNOWS her students.

If you want music blaring in the background while you practice, this is not the place. If you want a quick workout, this is not the place. This is a school where you’ll learn yoga as practice and tradition, and where you can become a part of the community.

I am deeply grateful to have all of this so close to home. Most people have to pay thousands of dollars to travel to India for a few weeks only to get a taste of what Joy offers to us everyday.

I considered myself  inflexible for most of my life. With practice my flexibility would get 20% better but there was ceiling that i would often try to break by force (this usually resulted in some sort of injury). I had never done yoga before so I decided to give it a try. 

I am so glad I picked yoga Om to start. I walked in the door to make my body more flexible, instead I found a whole new world of mind body and spirit. Since I began my training 2 months ago I have seen immense progress on the mat.

I initially thought that i could watch a few yoga videos on youtube and i would be all set. However, working with a knowledgeable teacher, you realize there are a plethora of minute details that need to be learned to perform the poses correctly( to prevent injury and to help you progress). Joy is able to spot these issues and  correct them on the fly, to help take you deeper into your practice.

 through my practice I have come to realize that yoga is not just flexibility and strength of the body, but of the mind as well. On days that I do practice I feel gratitude, greater mental clarity and an odd euphoric sensation( I can only describe this as a cross between a good nights sleep and a "runners high", i'm sure its different for every individual).

Joy has an ocean of wisdom and knowledge but delivers it in digestible chunks, based on your skill level. She pushes you to safely challenge the road blocks in your mind and your body. 

Im glad I added  yoga to my life and and look forward to enhancing my practice.

Yoga Om is a precious gem. Joy is a highly skilled teacher. Her mastery and understanding of the yoga practice can be felt when I practice under her guidance. As a yoga teacher, I appreciate Joy's ability to see her students and communicate her knowledge of the body in a way that is easily understood. As a beginner to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga, I appreciate Joy's patience as a teacher. The quality of instruction that Joy provides is like nothing else I have experienced. I feel grateful to have found my teacher, Joy, with whom I feel a deep connection and trust. I highly recommend Yoga Om to everyone, beginners and teachers alike.

I have truly enjoyed myself here. I was very surprised at the decor and atmosphere inside the studio. The practice room was very and the flooring was comfortable. The instruction was very informative and easy to follow. Joy made me fell comfortable and welcomed. As a beginner I been to a few classes at other places and didn't get the same guidance as we moved from pose to pose. She talked me through most of the poses and even showed me.
