About Jaya Yoga Studio
We are community.
We are an inclusive and heart forward community for everyone, everybody and every experience level. We believe in finding balance in mind, body and spirit. At Jaya, you will find encouragement and support from a community who looks out for one another on our mat and off.
Our space.
Jaya Yoga first opened its doors in 2011 in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania and in 2020, we moved our space to it’s new home just a few blocks away to provide a safe and comforting space to practice. A beautiful, newly renovated space created for the Jaya community boasts high ceilings, big windows, great ventilation and safe place to practice all while still feeling and being connected to the community.
We offer Vinyasa flow yoga classes taught by our certified instructors as well as a variety of workshops and special events, and you can now host your own events here as well. Also available at Jaya is the Jaya community’s favorite yoga gear including mats, clothings and more.
Jaya has our very own plant based cafe, Maximum Zen where you can grab a delicious bite to eat.

Our Students
“I have practiced yoga with Hilary for something like 8 years now. Hilary has a wonderful way of helping me to maintain mindfulness of the spiritual, the whimsical, and the imperfect journey from inexperience to mastery in yoga, in every practice. I have learned to take this awareness, this mindfulness, into life. As I began practicing with Hilary I learned to use the power of intention, tracking my intention through every practice, into some manifestation of how I wished to live, how I wished to perceive the world, and into, as Hilary says so often, letting go of the things that don’t serve me. I have learned the feeling of physical strength (and sometimes balance – a challenge) growing in my body, and how to ease the day’s kinks and stresses away as I move and stretch. When I have gone too long between classes, in these days of shelter in place, I begin to crave my little yoga spot in my guest room. It is wonderful knowing I can have a yoga class with Hilary whenever I need or want it, thanks to Jaya Online.”
