Jamuna Jaya Devi Dasi is a 500-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher who, after the first five minutes of her first yoga class, distinctly remembers thinking, “Oh, I soooooooooooo get this yoga stuff!” As a former professional dancer, and a life-long spiritual seeker, the synthesis of movement and contemplation on The Divine Spirit spoke to her immediately! She took her 200-hour YTT with Carrie Parker and Jillian Pransky’s Bright Spirit Teacher Training in NJ, and was lucky enough to join the apprentice program, and eventually staff at Devotion Yoga in Hoboken, NJ.
During her 300-Hour Advanced Teacher Training at Yogamaya, under Stacey Brass Russell and Bryn Chrisman, she found the path of Bhakti, and became an initiated student of HH Dhanudhara Swami. She loves combining precise alignment, and spiritual focus to give a complete experience of yoga. Currently, she teaches at The Bhakti Center, Yogamaya, for the online training Yoga Renew, as well as guest teaching at studios like StoneWave Yoga and Three Birds.
When not on her mat, Jamuna performs as a clown in hospitals for children for Healthy Humor, as her “alter ego” Dr. Ima Confused, and is a professional storyteller bringing folktales to audiences of all ages everywhere from schools, libraries, and even prisons.
