Meet the Business Owner

Nita M.

Business Owner

I grew up in an Indian family and can’t remember a time where I didn’t know the word yoga. I began my own practice of yoga as an adult about ten years ago and continued my practice while expecting my children. It was then that the vision of Yoga Jai Ma was born. I love yoga with all my heart and have seen it change lives! I live in the area and wanted to create a studio where even my mom and children would be welcomed! You can never stop learning more about yoga — the philosophy of yoga can apply to your life no matter how old you are or what your background is!

This studio is amazing!
Specifically, Shelley’s prenatal yoga class is awesome. She is so knowledgable and passionate about helping women thru their pregnancy and preparing for childbirth and motherhood. Her experience and passion are deeply felt in her classes. I also highly recommend her one on one birth story session, if you want to talk through your previous birth experience. She helps you focus positively and, most importantly, feel empowered to be a Birth Warrior.
I also enjoyed the regular (non prenatal) yoga classes, as the space is nice, energy is good, and teachers are great.

I am a new student here and so far I love it. I signed up because I am pregnant and want pre-​natal classes as an option. I haven’t been to a pre-​natal class yet, but the other classes are great. The teachers are attentive and I LOVE that there are no mirror. All the props and yoga mats you could need without the extra charge. My new favorite.

Truely a wonderful studio. Nita the owner goes out of her way to create an atmosphere that is welcoming to all. The classes reach a wide variety of people and I recommend checking out the restorative classes as a gift to yourself!
I’ve taken the Vinyasa classes, Hatha and the mini and me (such a cute idea and so great for moms with little ones!)
Definitely a studio worth checking out — yoga doesn’t have to be the crazy, heated, exhausting practice I find so many other places. Yoga Jai Ma does a great job balancing the body and mind.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This was my first Yoga experience ever. I did the Sacred yoga with Nancy in the am and went back for the Restorative yoga with Aerial the same day in the pm. I definitely see a new obsession for me and so happy I found an amazing yoga home!

**UPDATE**
I was recently contacted by Nita, the owner of Yoga Jai Ma after she read my review based on the Couples Prenatal Yoga workshop.
She mentioned that my feedback was helpful and she will modify the class description to better explain what the workshop involves (birth education, discussion for moms and dads, meditation, poses and massage techniques).
Not only did she REFUND the workshop fee in entirety but also offered me two FREE classes.
I really appreciate that Nita took the time to read my review and took the comments constructively. Kudos to Nita on her professionalism! Hope more business owners are like her and value genuine customer reviews.
Looking forward to checking out the classes offered at Yoga Jai Ma soon.

I have been to this yoga studio a couple times and it is in a great location. Easy access from the freeway if you are coming from work and also in the heart of Rancho Bernardo which is a great location for Poway, 4S Ranch, Carmel Mountain residents. They offer a wide range of classes even pregnancy and child yoga which is not easy to find. The studio is clean, neat and relaxing. The instructors I have met are all very nice and dedicated to their students and their practice. I would recommend this studio to anyone and everyone looking for a new yoga home.

I started taking prenatal yoga here with Shelley and am certain it’s one of the best things I can do for myself mentally and physically right now. The classes are geared towards child birth preparation, so the exercises are ones that you can use during labor and are completely safe for your baby.
The mental workout is great too. I feel very connected with my baby, but these classes provide real focus with around 45mins of talking/​breathing techniques and a mental exercise, and then around 45 mins of working out and movement. The discussion can include topics that my dad would describe as «earthy crunchy», meaning we discuss things like energy and chakras, so if you’re turned off by that you probably won’t get as much out of it.
I leave the class calm, energized, in a good mood, and feel great the rest of the day. When I get home I’m always excited to share what I’ve learned with my husband. We are going to take a couples yoga class at this location soon.
Each class has a different theme so newbies should check it out as the classes don’t really build on each other, but offer something new each time. Ladies who haven’t done regular yoga before will feel comfortable here because Shelley talks you through the stretches and exercises.

What an awesome way to hone in the end of the day!
STUDIO AMBIANCE: located on the second floor of the same building/​strip mall next to The Barrel Room and URGE in RB, this little studio is quaint and cute! They just opened up last year and you can tell as the studio is well kept. Right when you walk in you’re welcomed to place your shoes and belongings in a cubby hole before entering the glass door to the room. The wood floor and bare room were clean and welcoming to lay your mat down to decompress. You can find the single restroom stall at the back of the studio. They also had yoga props to use for your comfort.
CLASS/​TEACHERs: Nancy was an amazing instructor! she was highly knowledgeable and i learned more about yoga’s practice outside of the physical training. we had a lesson on Listening to your «Self» (higher voice) not «self» (ego) and learned to pay attention to our body. I practice a lot of Bikram yoga but was refreshing to be restored physically and mentally. we did a lot of stretching which was perfect because i had a hard workout the day before.
SPECIALS: On Mondays military families practice for free! take advantage of it!
PARKING: tons, there’s a private lot shared by the rest of the commercial stores are

Fantastic yoga studio in Rancho Bernardo that I never noticed as is in a second floor, and normally I don’t check anything above my eye level:). I went last night to a complementary class together with a friend and we left not only very well stretched and relaxed (I slept 10 hours last night, maybe was also the added bonus of that French lavender pouch covering my eyes during the last 10 minutes of the class!) but very motivated. The yoga instructor emanated a very spiritual vibe, talking during the class about sympathy versus empathy and the power of active listening. And those ommms put you in the zone!
Very welcoming studio, nice pale apple green color in the wall, big capacity but not overtly huge, clean and with the climate of a real practice going on (not too much light, the way I like it). I think the instructor made a big difference, I don’t know how other teachers are there, but she was awesome. Also, they offer free classes for the military veterans and families, instructed by volunteers. This is a great opportunity for those who don’t know the power of yoga and can enjoy it for free in a soothing environment!

Currently doing prenatal there with Shelley and I LOVE it there! I do want to note Shelley does some chanting and incorporates some non-​Christian religious aspects into her sessions. NOT MUCH but do want to share that. I was raised catholic and have never had an issue but know people that may.
Every time I go I feel like I am part of a family of, basically, strangers that are fully supportive and encouraging. I feel wonderful every time I leave!
Namaste Yoga Jai Ma!

My biggest regret is I wish they were less than 100 miles away from where i live.
Walking in I was promptly greeted by Tracy, the pleasant and grounded person who not
Only signed me in, but also introduced herself as the teacher for tonight’s practice. The studio was clean, aesthetically pleasing (soothing colors, music in the background, faint incense in the background but not overpowering). In short, I felt welcomed there. After paying for my class, I asked if mat rentals were available. Tracy replied these were included. Pleasant change.
I wasn’t familiar with Yin Yoga, but she calmly explained big picture what it’s purpose and goals were. I was intrigued. Tracy led the class smoothly and with a humbled calmness.
The 90-​minute session was a true gift which I hope to remember for a long time.
Definite thumbs up!

We need a yoga studio like this in Orange County!
The director of the studio was patient, understanding and very knowledgeable in answering all of my questions. I have spoken to her a few times over the phone regarding the different classes and she was more than happy to explain everything to me.
One thing that makes this studio stand out is that it caters to women in all stages of their life. How amazing is that? Finally, a studio that really takes the «woman» into consideration. I hope that they are able one day to expand to Orange County where I live.

As a yoga student who loves the practice of Yin Yoga I am so appreciative of this lovely studio! It is difficult to find Yin classes and Tracy’s is the best! She never fails to provide a wonderful, blissful, «yummy» experience. There is a welcoming atmosphere and new students, even new to yoga, will be embraced and guided in the practice. Thank you Tracy and Yoga Jai Ma for coming to Rancho Bernardo!

I will preface this with saying that I’m a complete newbie when it comes to yoga. But from my standpoint, this studio was terrific and very welcoming.
I signed up for the Mommy & Me yoga course with Tracy, as I’ve been desperately looking for new things to get me and my little one out of the house. Once again, I’ve never taken a yoga class, and I am quite out of shape, but the course and instructor made me feel at ease and welcome. I didn’t feel too embarrassed when I stumbled over many of the poses, and I felt that Tracy was really good about giving me instruction when I needed it, along with praise to keep me going. The class was also pretty small, which created an intimate atmosphere.
I’m excited to continue to attend classes here and build upon my skills, and I hope this studio continues to grow in popularity. Speaking just on my experience with the Mommy & Me class, they provide a great opportunity to make connections with your babies and the community, as well as to improve your own health and wellness.

Pregnant!
Why yes I am!
Needing exercise? Yup! Well, specifically requiring something to stretch out my tired limbs.
I had seen advertisement via a friend for a new yoga studio that was opening up, so went along. I was a yoga virgin and had no idea quite what to expect.
I went along on their first day having signed up for the new members deal online. Shelley Rahim who leads the prenatal yoga was welcoming and friendly.
Since the first time I have been to a number of prenatal yoga sessions, each of the sessions are well planned and interesting. The moves are designed to enable those with bumps to do the exercises and if anyone is struggling she will offer advice of alternative ways to move. I will continue to attend until my body says no!
Once I have little one (coming in January!) and they are ready to go out in the big wide world I will be participating in the Postnatal yoga and the Mommy and me yoga.
All of the staff at this studio are friendly and welcoming! I would definitely point anyone in the direction of this studio.
