At the completion of my yoga practice, I always have a calming of the ceiling fan of the mind. I feel slowed down like a soothing breeze.  I also feel increased flexibility and strength. All the yoga teachers at DAYA lead a well-planned practice.  I find each class engaging and inspiring. Sarahjoy Marsh, the founder, has assembled a skilled set of teachers.

The thing that’s unique about SarahJoy’s studio (virtual since March 2020) is the skillful way the teachers have integrated East and West. We start out every practice with mediation. Next, we chant with Sanskrit words and sentiment. A breath practice called Pranayama follows. Asanas or postures come next. This is the active part of the practice. In conclusion, we get a chance to integrate by resting during Shavasana.

DAYA TRANSLATES AS MERCY OR COMPASSION. They truly embody their name, these teachers are kind, sincere and giving. In alignment with their mission, 100% of all profits support their medical scholarship and outreach programs that make yoga physically, medically, financially, culturally and spiritually accessible. 

I love being a member of this community or Sangha (Sanskrit word). On Wednesday nights, we get to go to India virtually to chant with Deobrat Mishra. 

I am forever grateful for SarahJoy Marsh and Lynn Morrison for the guidance they have given me in healing my traumatic brain injury (TBI).
