Who We Are at 
The YOGA WAY is a leading resource for yoga education and its practical application. We are a dedicated yoga facility with nationally certified instructors. We teach an authentic and accessible style of yoga which combines the physical and breathing aspects of Hatha yoga with the mental disciplines of Raja yoga. These teachings stem from what's called Sanatan Dharma, or Eternal Truth. The purity of these teachings come alive through Swami Shri Ashutosh Muniji and Lakulish Yoga.
It is our intention to offer you the pure teachings of yoga in a structured format to help you realize your true Self. The 1350-square-foot space is a relaxing, tranquil environment where students can begin their journey of self-discovery. It is thoughtfully designed according to the energetic principles of Vastu.
Jahnvi Formisano, Director and Founder of The YOGA WAY, has been practicing yoga for nearly 20 years. Having experienced its life-changing effects, she has made sharing these authentic teachings her life's work. Jahnvi is a 500-hour nationally certified yoga teacher and holds multiple certifications for yoga and meditation. She is recognized by Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT500 (experienced yoga teacher qualified to lead certification training). She has been teaching yoga and meditation for over 7 years. |
