Jayna Halai’s Bio

Jayna first started practising yoga when she was 15 and has since developed her practice through a journey that took her to an outstanding school of yoga in the sacred Rishikesh, India- the birth place of yoga. She considers herself a lifelong student, continuing to deepen her knowledge and practice. She incorporates her training as an Integretive Counsellor encouraging her students to discover their inner voice in order develop their practice and to extend the benefits of yoga into other aspects of their life. Together with her students she enjoys unravelling the mysteries and new insights that yoga brings outside of asana practice.

Her classes draw on many different approaches ranging from a yin style gentle but prolonged stretching to a more dynamic Vinyasa style, offering the students the benefits of various schools of thought. She emphasizes the value of paying close attention to the breath so that students see through their own experience that a slow, steady and controlled breath provides the energy that one needs during practice, brings the body to relax which allows for flexibility, and gives the benefits that stillness and meditation offer us in our otherwise busy and preoccupied lives. Physical safety is foremost in her mind and through teaching people to truly connect to their bodies, Jayna teaches her students to be safe in their practice as well as motivating her students to feel confident to practice on their own. Jayna guides the student to discover their body’s true ability by offering gentle hands on assistance.
