I have been thinking about something I wrote about a few years ago–The root of the word “December” comes from the Latin word Decem, meaning ten, and was thus named because in the original Roman calendar, December was the tenth month in their calendar that began in March and ended in December.

In March 2020, we were so grateful to be able to share classes online but had no idea that we would still be teaching most of our classes online into late summer, fall, winter, and maybe indefinitely. Our teachers have worked hard to learn new technologies, deal with unexpected power and internet outages, and keep their virtual ‘studios’ clean, while also planning classes to inspire and support you on your yogic journey. We THANK YOU for continuing to practice with us and are planning new offerings for the winter season.
We hope to see you soon!
Jala Yoga’s mission is to inspire people to live more balanced, socially aware lives, and to find personal strength, physically, mentally and spiritually. In sharing the teachings of yoga, we aspire to create a safe community in which people of all backgrounds, gender affiliations, ages, and sizes can feel supported in their exploration of the practice. We strive to be awake and aware, living a courageously heart-centered life, and encouraging others to do the same.
As the owner and founder of Jala Yoga, I am fully invested in racial equality and justice. In an effort to educate myself and create accountability, I have signed and committed to this pledge. I commit to disclosing my efforts toward this pledge, and remaining committed to creating an environment in which all teachers are held accountable toward this mission.
