Yoga in Venice, Italy

Jaya Yoga studio in Venice, Italy (2022)

I have been practicing yoga since 2017 and on a trip to Venice, Italy, in 2021 decided to try a vinyasa class. I found Jaya Yoga online and the folks at my hotel helped me arrange attendance at a 9:30 a.m. group class with Davide. The studio is in a nondescript building up a few flights of stairs. At first, I was not sure I was in the right place because the main areas of the building were a bit dark and seemed (but were not) vacant.

Davide was very friendly and welcoming. When I entered the studio and saw the beautiful ceiling, I knew I was in a special place. The class was taught in Italian and I just followed the other yogis in class when I could not deduce what we were doing (just like in some classes at home when the instruction is in my native language, English)!

The class was well-structured and exactly what I needed after many days of pasta, pizza, wine and gelato! I returned to Davide’s class again in 2022 and experienced the same beautiful practice.
