Jai teaches a blend of traditional Hatha Yoga and Iyengar Yoga, using props such as belts, ropes, chairs, and blocks to help students of every level — from complete beginners to advanced practitioners — practice safely and improve alignment. Alongside teaching, Jai also offers authentic Ayurvedic wellness massage and leads guided yoga retreats to Northern India's traditional heritage hubs, including Rishikesh and Dharamshala. Instruction is available in German, English, and Hindi.
